The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) welcomes the results of the PAHAYAG 2022 First Quarter Survey (PQ1 2022) conducted by PUBLiCUS Asia, indicating that the Department is among the top 10 most approved and trusted government agencies.
Based on the survey results released on April 8, the DSWD garnered a 59.9% approval rating from the respondents, naming the Department as the fifth most approved government agency. Meanwhile, the Department’s trustworthiness rating is at 40.2%.
The DSWD emphasizes that these numbers were the results of its strong commitment to the Department’s mantra of “Maagap at Mapagkalingang Serbisyo,” most especially that majority of the Filipinos are still reeling from the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, hike in the prices of fuel products and basic commodities, and even disasters and calamities in the early months of the year.
Furthermore, the Department noted that the favorable response from Filipinos manifests that the target sectors are satisfied with the service provided to them.
The DSWD adds that the result of the survey serves as a motivation for its personnel to continue to work tirelessly as it pledges to strengthen its partnership with local government, civic organizations, and other government agencies to ensure that more families and individuals will achieve a comfortable life as envisioned by the Duterte Administration.
