DSWD assures no delays in delivery of goods to LGUs
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has assured that relief goods are delivered to local government units (LGUs) on time based on their requests for augmentation.
The DSWD clarified that its logo is placed on Family Food Pack (FFP) boxes for identification, not on individual canned items.
Each FFP is designed to feed a family of five for two days and contains rice, sardines, corned beef or beef loaf, and coffee or energy drink.
To date, the DSWD has distributed FFPs amounting to more than P35 million nationwide.
This provision of relief items is part of the DSWD's mandate to provide Technical Assistance and Resource Augmentation (TARA) to LGUs during emergencies.
