The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) thanked the public  for the continued trust in the delivery of social protection programs, especially the much needed aid at this time of the pandemic.

Based on the 2021 Philippine Trust Index (PTI), the DSWD was among the institutions most trusted by the public, along with the church, Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, Department of Education, Pag-IBIG Fund, and the Government Service Insurance System. The DSWD got a trust rating index of 88 percent.

The PTI 2021 was conducted by the EON Group which aims to look at the level of trust as well as the factors affecting the trust of the Filipino public.

The DSWD expressed appreciation on the citation and vowed to continue to uphold its brand of service delivery anchored on the core value of “mapagkalinga at maagap na serbisyo”. ###
