We write to correct several inaccuracies as well as make clarifications to your editorial entitled 'A humane act for orphans' (5/27/23). The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) did not act 'precipitously and harshly' when it issued a cease-and-desist order last May 22 against the Quezon City childcare facility Gentle Hands Inc. (GHI), a duly registered and licensed social welfare and development agency. Our records will show that as early as Aug. 9, 2022, DSWD's standards bureau director Justin Caesar Anthony Batocabe wrote a four-page letter addressed to Charity Graff, executive director of GHI, reiterating the corrective measures which GHI should undertake in both its Jason's Home in Project 4, Quezon City, and Home of Grace in Baliuag, Bulacan.

When Yi Gang took the helm at the People's Bank of China (PBOC) in March 2018, he said there were three major tasks to do in finance — implement prudent and neutral monetary policy, advance reform and opening-up of the financial industry, and prevent and resolve major risks to maintain stability in the financial sector. At that time, the world wasn't expecting a global pandemic, a war in Europe, escalating tensions between China and the West, not to mention the resulting fallout.
