Program for the poor a poor program?

Sen. Bongbong Marcos and House Minority Leader Ronaldo Zamora are right—the Aquino administration should make a complete accounting of the gargantuan fund given to the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program administered by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

“It (the CCT program) provides temporary relief for millions of families, but it does not provide them what they really need: real jobs . . . paying and self-sustaining jobs that will enable them to have a decent future,” Zamora said.
