Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)
MANILA, Philippines— The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) flagged a false post claiming that the department is accepting applications for student aid.
“Nais linawin ng Kagawaran — Walang katotohanan ang mga posts mula sa website na “Tescholarship.com.” Ang DSWD ay HINDI pa tumatanggap ng mga aplikasyon para sa Educational Assistance,” it wrote in a public advisory.
(The department wants to make it clear — there is no truth to some posts on the website “Tescholarship.com.” The DSWD is NOT yet accepting application for educational assistance.)
