MANILA, Philippines — Guarantee letters issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) through its Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation program can now be used to pay for medical services and medicines worth over P10,000 in selected pharmacies.

DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao said that applicants would be assessed first by social workers, and if found qualified, they would be given guarantee letters. A guarantee letter ensures the DSWD will pay the provider for services sought by the bearer of the letter.
