The Department of Social
Welfare and Development in Region 12 assured that the National Household
Targeting Unit (NHTU) Validation Assessment for the Pablo victims will not be
used for election purposes
DSWD officials have taken steps to safeguard the assessment
against manipulating the process to serve the interest of politicians.
Bai Zorahayda T. Taha, DSWD- 12 regional director, assured the
public that the agency will strictly monitor the project implementation to
prevent any political manipulation.
“We have carefully screened all the hired staff, from enumerators,
area supervisors to area coordinators. The agency made sure that none of the
staff is connected to politicians, and will keep an eye on the ball to avoid
suspicion from external audience,” she said.
“We have instructed the enumerators to stop the validation, return to the field
office immediately and write a report on the incident for investigation,” Taha
noted. “This way, we can prevent the anomaly before it spreads out.”
A total of 60 enumerators, 10 area supervisors and 2 area
coordinators were deployed by DSWD 12 while Lanao and Maguindanao in the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao deployed 209 enumerators, 34 area
supervisors and 6 area coordinators.
They are expected to submit individual validation reports on March
28, the day before the election ban takes effect.
More than 60, 000 households in Central Mindanao have been displaced by the
onslaught of Typhoon Pablo last December.
