DSWD: Street children part of papal visit

Filipino street children, in fact, are a part of the papal visit, and they are not caged to make the streets clean, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said on Thursday.

As the main agency that promotes and protects the welfare of disadvantaged children, the DSWD vehemently denied that the street children had been caged to sanitize the streets for the Pope Francis, as reported also on Thursday by Daily Mail Online, a publication in the United Kingdom.
