DSWD s

As the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ended its arduous process of online registration for educational assistance, students voiced their frustrations after their ineffectual struggle to have a chance at receiving the said aid from the government It was clear that DSWD opted to advise applicants to register online for a swift distribution of educational assistance to students in crisis

However, that might not be the case, as most of them complained about unsuccessful online applications Perhaps, being known as digital natives, DSWD has adapted this online registration system to speed up the process and provide accessibility for all Yet they failed to grasp the crux of the students' pons asinorum While it is inarguable how online processing of applications has made it possible for a cheaper alternative for walk-ins It does not guarantee one's eligibility for the said educational assistance

Automated or not, DSWD should have done better for the Filipino people, especially for the students in crisis who longed to receive aid from the government agency

Another point of argument why the agency did not accommodate walkin applications is to avoid the rise of COVID-19 cases, thus conceivably complying with the safety protocols in the country Nonetheless, even if the online forms provided are accessible, there is a frequency in their failure to respond Ergo, students were still forced to wait for hours to no avail It left the credit of DSWD obscured with their site's poor performance The online applicants who did not receive a single text message felt that the inconvenience they went through had been thwacked by denying them the help they needed and thereupon leaving them in an aggrieved state hhh Taking everything into consideration, there is a conclusive desideratum for the higher-ups in the agency to work collectively in providing efficient solutions to rectify their blatant errors. In doing so, there might be another hope, but now, an antithesis to becoming an exemplum of delusive hopes. hh Several of the students who did not secure assistance from DSWD are eligible. They are students who irrefutably can be considered students in crisis. Many sentiments have been raised, accentuating the program of the government agency to be anti-poor since most privileged students can easily access the online form they provided due to the availability of gadgets and stable Internet access Q
