What’s up with this?
“Palo, Leyte municipal Social Welfare and Development Officer Nina Balderas said biscuits, cupcakes, canned goods and rice were left to expire and were subsequently buried in an open dump in Barangay San Jose on Feb 5 and Mar 6,” reports Marvin T. Modelo in Manila Standard Today.
According to the report, “residents said the food aid was buried in haste in a remote village that could be reached only through an unpaved road.”
The report went on to note that “the residents near the dump said that they suspected some irregularity because of the haste with which the goods were buried.”
This is just one of the issues that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has to address.
