Why fix it if it ain't broke?

SOCIAL Welfare and Development Secretary Erwin Tulfo has come under fire after a chaotic start to the implementation of his department's educational program.

In Zamboanga City alone, at least 29 people were reportedly injured in a stampede at a coliseum where the local unit of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) had been set up to receive potential beneficiaries. The same scenario occurred not only in the DSWD main office, but also in the agency's satellite offices nationwide where cash dole-outs ranging from P1,000 for elementary students to P4,000 for college enrollees were distributed to qualified beneficiaries.
