UPDATES ON THE CAMPAIGN
Soon, Noynoy Aquino will be sworn in as our newly elected President. He has already expressed that he wants former DSWD Secretary Corazon "Dinky" Juliano Soliman to head again the DSWD. Soliman resigned as DSWD Secretary to join the Hyatt officials who resigned government posts to express protest against the Arroyo administration. But when she resigned, she said in a letter to DSWD officials that her position about Golden Acres is to retain it, even when the new facility in Tanay, Rizal becomes operational. Is this her position still? We really hope so.
A management transition team will meet with current DSWD officials next week. We hope to deliver the message to this transition team to stop the deactivation of Golden Acres in Quezon City. Retain and allocate funds for its continued operation.
The present DSWD Management, we were informed, plans to complete the transfer of Golden Acres staff and clients by June 11. We won't allow this to push through. We will protest and deliver our message: SAVE GOLDEN ACRES IN QUEZON CITY!
=========
The SWEAP continued its text brigade to build public awareness on this issue. A text message "Stop the deactivation of Golden Acres in Quezon City. Save the home of our homeless lolos and lolas in Metro Manila" was sent to one of the DSWD officials was answered. That DSWD official replied with: "Stop this disinformation. The facility will remain as a reception center for the elderly and a hub for big ticket projects of the DSWD.
Hahaha!!! The text message was not a disinformation. It was and is an advocacy message. And who is propagating wrong information now? The Golden Acres is really being deactivated and will be closed. The DSWD Department Order on the transfer guidelines explicitly states that Golden Acres will be closed. This reception center they are talking about is still just an idea in their minds or at least perhaps just written in paper which may be eventually thrown as rubbish depending on how the wind in the DSWD would blow. And what is a hub? What is a big ticket project? Grand Jargons! Hahaha!!! This reply is both funny and disgusting. Well, we will not stop informing and calling for the public's support: SAVE GOLDEN ACRES IN QUEZON CITY!
