DSWD to open new satellite office for AICS, AKAP services

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is set to open a new satellite office in Commonwealth, Quezon City that will boost the comfort of clients availing the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) and the Ayuda sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP).

Director Edwin Morata of the agency’s Protective Services Bureau (PSB) – Crisis Intervention Division (CID) said the satellite office will be located at the Paragon Place along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.

“It is still near at DSWD Central Office, but we will be moving to Paragon Place beside the Ever Commonwealth. It is a three-story building but the two floors are ours,” Morata said.

The satellite office will be inaugurated on June 26. By then, all scheduled and walk-in clients of AKAP and AICS previously accommodated at the Central Office will now be directed to the new site.

This move aims to provide a more efficient and client-friendly environment, ensuring faster processing and improved service delivery, according to Director Morata.
