Tulfo had said among his priorities is the welfare of street children, for whom he plans to build more reception areas.

"[I] will be a secretary on the ground, a secretary people can touch, talk to, a secretary they can hug," Tulfo had said, when asked what to expect from the department under his watch.

He had met outgoing DSWD Sec. Joselito Bautista, who presented key highlights and an overview of the agency's projects.

After that meeting, he warned fixers that he will pursue them and get them arrested "wherever they may be in the country."
