The Philippines has been embattling various social issues, injustices, and even endured the aftermath of one disaster to another. Yet amidst all these, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has been on the forefront, always to the rescue and at the service of the poorest and most vulnerable sectors of the society.

The presence of the Department was felt even more during the height of the pandemic, wherein DSWD was mandated to provide cash assistance to individuals and families that were greatly affected by the onslaught of COVID-19. Since then, the Department has not stopped in finding and making ways to be of help and service to our countrymen who are most in need.

The DSWD may be the primary government agency mandated to develop, implement and coordinate social protection and poverty-reduction solutions for and with the poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged yet, the Department believes in shared vision, responsibility, and efforts for the betterment of the sectors it serves.

Thus, the creation of TatagPH, a flagship campaign engaging the public, development partners, organizations, and other interested entities to contribute to the empowerment, development, and welfare of the sectors and beneficiaries of the DSWD.
