THE EFFECTS OF PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM IN THE LIVES OF BENEFICIARIES IN THE CITY OF MANILA
(Thesis Proposal)

Statement of the problem

The Philippines has been battling against poverty for over several years now. The problem with poverty was inherited by every president, the highest ranking official of the republic. Because poverty continues to worsen every now and then, the leaders of the country have their own strategies and policy adaptations to combat this serious issue.

The latest campaign against poverty applied in some countries in the world is the Conditional Cash Transfer program (CCT). South American countries like Brazil, Colombia and Mexico had already applied this latest approach. At present, these countries still use the CCT program.

In the Philippines, at present, the CCT program is adopted and applied. It has been named as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). It is important to conduct a study about this project which has the objective to gradually reduce the rate of poverty in the country through investing in human capital, developing the people themselves. An evaluation or analysis about this project is necessary to clearly see its impact on poverty, especially to the beneficiaries of the program.

This research will try to find an answer to the following questions: 1. Will the program meet its objectives to increase the enrolment rate among children and the rate of families consulting health centers and clinics for check-ups? 2. Does the project fund go reach its beneficiaries in the right time and place?

3. Do the beneficiaries comply with the conditions stated in the program? 4. Can this project be the long-term solution to eradicate poverty? The city of Manila will be the main focus of this research. The reasons why Manila has been chosen to be

    Poverty is a pressing issue here in the Philippines. There are so many people who live below the poverty line, and there is a huge discrepancy when it comes to wealth distribution in the Philippines. Only a few actually are the ones who are truly rich at the expense of the majority of the population. There are many reasons why this is so: Our elected officers are also the ones who own most of the land, so it creates…

    Issues of Poverty

    Poverty is a complex problem that is easily understood but hard to solve. We understand that on the global scale, poverty rate is on a decline as a result of economic development that lifts millions of people out of the poverty trap. In fact, the World Bank estimated that people living on less than $1.25 a day dropped by from 1.8 billion to 1.4 billion between 1995 and 2005. Although this is a remarkable gain, it shall not understate that more than 1 billion people are still living in extreme poverty. So, there remains much work to be done to solve poverty and it helps to think of the issue in terms of the following frameworks.…

    Iec Strategy of 4p's (Executive Summary)

    Based on the 2006 Annual Poverty Statistics of the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), 27.9 M Filipinos or 1/3 of the whole population are poor. In order to address the problem of poverty in the country, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) implemented a Conditional Cash Transfer Program now known as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). The 4Ps is a human development program of the national government that gives CCT grants to extremely poor families in order to improve their health, nutrition and education especially the children aged 0-14. The said program has two objectives: 1) Social Assistance and 2) Social Development.…

    Thesis Of The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program

    Accordingly, people are poor not just because of a lack of economic resources to satisfy basic needs, but also because they live in a social, economic and political system which does not provide equality of opportunities. The 4Ps intend to provide the basis for this much-needed equality by providing the poor people with the education that they could not access otherwise Two of the most basic yet also most powerful aspects on a child’s development are their health and education (Mella, Osido, Suing, 2011). With the use of Pantawid Pamilya, beneficiary households are given the chance to pursue a stable education together with a healthy body. After all, everyone must have a healthy body to be able to go to school and attain proper education. Investing in children’s human capital and ensuring that they grow into educated and healthy adults, is the equivalent of teaching them how to fish. In the nutshell, the underlying concept of the The Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programs, and of the 4Ps as wells, is: once individuals are healthy, better fed, and educated, they will be able to overcome poverty in the long run (Valencia, 2009). This in fact is a big step for our country in resolving the problem of diversity and inequality that has long been noticed yet still unaddressed. Study also reveals that pupils of D.R.C.E.S.responded excellently with an average rating of 4.69 that their…

    Effectiveness of 4p's in Terms of Mch and Education

    In view of the worsening poverty situation and the MDG targets, the Philippine government ran a pilot CCT project in 2007, targeting 6,000 poor households in two provinces and two cities. It proceeded to implementing a full-scale program in 2008, calling it Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and targeting 320,000 additional households. When Benigno Aquino III was elected president in 2010, he decided to sustain his predecessor‘s 4Ps, and further expand its coverage so that when he bows out of the presidency in 2016, it will have reached a total of 4.3 million households (PCIJ 2011). Quoting the…

    Our country is relatively small compared to any major countries, so I believe that nobody in our country should be experiencing extreme poverty. But, because of so many factors, it really inhibits that possibility. One very prominent example is corruption. Corruption in the government makes the whole matter worse because they are not the one to respond to these problems but rather, makes everything worse. The Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) is a very concrete manifestation. Imagine this: if every poor Filipino would get a chunk of those funds, do you think there would be so many Filipinos would wonder around the streets begging for food and for money, will it be a possibility that no children would never engage in a world that they should never experience at a very young age, and would every child would go to school and learn so many things about life. That 10 Billion Pesos fund can even made them eat the same kind of food that these corrupt officials feed to their respective families to the less fortunate. Enough with this non-sense and wrongdoings, as Joey Velasco taught us that we should wake up and…

    Public Policy and Its Process

    Public Policy is set of rules and guidelines imposed by the highest authorities in the government for the society. It is for the welfare and best interest of the society. The imposition of it may entail the society’s obedience, patience and endurance because whether the government’s goals are achieved or not it is the best the government can so far do for the society. The bottom line is, “public policies are ideally intended for the common good and welfare of the people,” (Aquino, 1991 State of the Nation Address, SONA).…
