A DSWD social worker impeded one male applicant seeking medical assistance through the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situations (AICS) program after he presented a fake PWD ID. The statements he disclosed during the interview did not match the requirements he submitted.

Consequently, the agency filed a report to the Barbosa Police Station, and the incident has officially logged in the blotter.

DSWD Assistant Secretary Irene Dumalo stated that using falsified documents not only violates the law but also deprives legitimate beneficiaries to experience their rights that they truly deserve.

Dumlao also noted that the agency will not hesitate to file a case against those who are proven to have falsified their documents when applying for the agency’s services.
