DEPARTMENT of Social Welfare and Development Secretary (DSWD) Rexlon Gatchalian informed the public on Saturday that the agency's key protective services programs, Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) and Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP), have helped a large number of poor Filipinos.
Gatchalian made the remark in denying allegations that AICS and AKAP are being used for electoral purposes, including "vote buying."
