                    [Summary] => Despite the Christmas spirit, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is asking the public not to give alms to begging children this Yuletide season because it stops them from learning the value and dignity of hard work.


According to DSWD Secretary Luwalhati Pablo, children who become used to handouts also never learn the value of self-reliance. 


"If they become used to just opening their palms, they might no longer want to work. They will be dependent on others and that’s not good," Pablo told The STAR.
