President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered Social Welfare Secretary Rolando Bautista to tap female soldiers in distributing emergency cash subsidy to poor households during the coronavirus disease pandemic.
In his pre-taped public address aired early Tuesday, Duterte lamented that corruption occurred in the distribution of financial assistance under the government’s social amelioration program.
“I had a nightmare in the distribution of the SAP. Sabi ko nga noon takot ako na baka makurakot ito. Sabi ko baka, nangyari nga. Di ba sinabi ko sa inyo,” according to the President.
Beneficiaries under the SAP get between P5,000 to P8,000 each for two months.
“I will ask General Bautista to use solely ang kanilang full charge sa DSWD. Alam ko walang tao, ang order ko sa kanya kanina nung nag meeting kami na he will request na kapwa niya sundalo noon, eh retired na, that’s why he’s with the Cabinet, na mag patulong sya sa Armed Forces sa pag distribute ng pera.
“I have nothing against males, sa mga lalake, ang sinasabi ko lang mas matiyaga itong mga babae lalo na kung isipin ito kailangan ng mga pamilya, ng mga bata para pangkain. The empathy, yun ano ng puso ng babae ang gusto ko. Kaya sa mga babae na miyembro maybe you will be commissioned to do that,” said Duterte.
