Pangandaman approves creation of more than 4K positions in DSWD field offices

“Supporting the 4Ps is crucial in ensuring inclusive development, empowering families, and breaking the cycle of poverty in the Philippines. With this move, we are also generating employment opportunities, which in some ways help stabilize our economy,” Sec. Mina said.
