INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Pamliyang Pantawid Program or locally known as 4Ps is determine as

a human capital that invests in the Health and Education of the poor

households, particularly of children aged

0-18 years old. It is patterned after the conditional cash transfer scheme

implemented in other developing countries like Brazil

(Bolsa Familia) and Mexico (Oportunidades). The program provides cash

grants to beneficiaries provided that they comply with the set of

conditions required by the program.

The Pamilyang Pantawid Pilipino Program or 4Ps (formely known as Ahon

Pamilyang Pilipino) is a version of transferring cash in the Philippines

under the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). DSWD is

working closely with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to help

facilitate the release of salaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program

(4Ps).

The program aims to provide the needs, opportunities scarcity to poor

Filipinos and eradicate extreme poverty in the Philippines by investing in

health and education.

 It was renamed Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) by Santiago

and Samantha A. Vizconde on July 16 2008 by Administrative Order 16, 2008

and set implementing guidelines. It is the flagship poverty alleviation

program of the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Since, 2007 The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the

Philippines is the conditional cash transfer program implemented by the

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), along with cooperative

partner institutions such as the Department of Education, Department of

Health, Department of Local Government and various other government

institutions. The 4Ps was patterned after conditional cash transfer

programs in Latin American and African countries which have been proven

successful as poverty reduction and social development measure (DSWD, 2011)

and it lifted millions of people around the world of poverty. The 4Ps

operates in all 17 regions in the Philippines, covering 143 cities and 1,

484 municipalities.

According to Fernadez and Olfindo (2011), today, the program is seen

more broadly as “a vehicle for enhancing coordination with the government

in assisting the poor and for increasing the effectiveness of social

protection program”. Though statistics shown that the increase in the

poverty incidence among population in 2003 to 2009. From 24.9% - 26.5% is

not so substantial, it is an increase, and 26.5% implies that more than a

quarter of the whole Philippines population is below the poverty threshold.

The 4Ps has been created to address that problem of poverty and inequality

in the country.

As of August 2015 there are 4,353,597 active household-beneficiaries,

of which 570,056 are indigenous households and 217,359 have at least one
PWD. The program also covers 10,235,568 school children with an average of

two to three children per households. Moreover, a total of 27.15 billion

cash were paid to eligible and compliant beneficiaries of 2015. From this

amount 13. 23 billion was paid for Education and the remaining 13.92

billion was disbursed for health. In addition, based on DSWD, data as of

December 26, 2016, the Automous Religion in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) has the

highest share of beneficiary families at 10.6 percent Region V (Bicol)

follows at 9.9 percent and Region VI (Western Visayas) at 8.2. The shares

of Cordillera administrative Region (CAR) (1.8%), Region II (2.7%), and III

(3.1%) are the lowest. The official data from the DSWD as of December 2012

show a distribution that is somewhat similar shares of the poor families,

also have the highest share in 4Ps beneficiaries.

Meanwhile, according to the 2011 Annual Poverty Indicators survey to

assess the impact of the 4Ps on school participation of Filipino children

using propensity matching; by Dr. Celia Reyes and Christian Mina, PIDS

senior research fellow and supervising research specialist, respectively

found out the program led to an increase of 3 to 4.6 percentage points in

the school participation rate of children 6-14. The result showed that 96.3

percent of children of 4Ps families attend school. For the matched, non-4Ps

families, the rate ranges from 91.7 to 93.3 percent. Increasing school

attendance has been the main objective of the program, and it is worth

nothing that the program has achieved outcomes that it was designed for.

However, in Las Navas poverty is one of the problem facing by many

students and being part of the 4Ps will enable them to achieve and finish

their studies.
