Actress Pokwang was asking a question on Twitter regarding the permit required by local government units (LGU) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). Pokwang was inquiring if even those who are helping and those who are delivering relief goods will be required to get a permit.

On Twitter, Pokwang posted the following:

Some netizens replied to Pokwang’s inquiry by posting the following:

– “i think the God and permit thing is taken way out of context here. let’s not level God’s power to those of men.”

– “Wag kang pilosopo mamang. Yes, you need permits. Para malaman na yun talaga ang purpose mo of going out and giving relief. Ang dami ring nag ho hoarding ng groceries and food stuff, it’s a preventive measure pra walang mang abuso. Sabay ka nalang sa proseso. G?”

– “Yes daw ksi nung ako nagpa relief dapat need daw hingi ng permit sa brgy”

– “Yan po yata patakaran nila. Makipagcoordinate daw po sa DSWD.”

– “Pag may solicitation na involved Pokie required talaga ang permit. Matagal ng policy yan ng dswd. Pero pag un pa-food keme-keme ok lang yan. Mas ok din na maki coordinate sa right folks para mas organisado.”
