Department of Social Welfare and Development recognized Securities and Exchange Commission Tarlac Extension Office (SEC-TEO) for its contributions and support to Social Welfare and Development Agencies (SWDAs) during the 3rd annual convention of SWDAs in the region.
“We are well abreast of the role of DSWD and SWDAs in promoting the welfare of the poor, disadvantaged and vulnerable individuals, families and communities,” SEC-TEO Director Richard Laus said.
Laus assured the SWDAs of the continuous service of the commission from registration to submission of annual requirements.

SWDAs are non-governmental organizations accredited by DSWD that provide social welfare services to communities and deliver quality services and programs to the disadvantaged sectors.
These NGOs are being recognized by the Department in view of R.A. 10847 of 2016 and MC 04 of 2018 which contains guiding principle in the implementation on delivery of quality services and programs to the disadvantaged sector.
“We are open to address your needs and concerns regarding Securities and Exchange Commission regulatory requirements as well as requests for no derogatory information certificate, and other services we can offer you,” Laus guaranteed.
SEC-TEO served as resource speakers in the series of face-to-face seminars DSWD conducted for SWDAs in the provinces of Tarlac, Bulacan, Pampanga, Bataan, Zambales and Nueva Ecija. (PIA 3)
