Understanding the Social Protection Programs of the Philippines Government
1.) Why is social protection important to an individual?
 For the reason that in our country poverty is one of the most common problem which needs to be
lessen, by the help of Social Protection(SP) poor family will be able to have a chance to improve
their life and gain sustainable kind of life.
2.) Do you like the country’s social protection system why? Why and why not?
 Yes! Because it’s not only about giving a cash assistance to a poor family or person, but also
helping them to improve their life by investing human capital like the education, health and
nutrition.
3.) Do you think there are still missing in the social protection of the Philippine government?
 For me as for now SP has the most needed of a poor family, but when we talk about the future the
SP should broaden their programs and the scope of their programs especially to the rural places
because there are still people that don’t know how to access their right in there community
without the help of a professional.
4.) In your own community how is social protection system work?
 As for my observation, our community officials also practice the activities given by our
municipal to help an individual, one of this is what we call TUPAD where in their target in this
program is a worker that was displaced, underemployed, and seasonal workers. Person will work
for a minimum of 10 days in our community. So that they will have a salary that can help them to
find a permanent job.
