Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program 
is a human development program of the national government that invests in the health and education of poor households, particularly of children aged 0-14 years old. 

Patterned after the conditional cash transfer scheme implemented in other developing countries, the Pantawid Pamilya provides cash grants to beneficiaries provided that they comply with the set of conditions required by the program.

Pantawid Pamilya has dual objectives:
  • Social Assistance - to provide cash assistance to the poor to alleviate their immediate need (short term poverty alleviation); and
  • Social Development - to break the intergenerational poverty cycle through investments in human capital.
Pantawid Pamilya helps to fulfill the country’s commitment to meet the Millennium Development Goals, namely:
  1. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger
  2. Achieve Universal Primary Education
  3. Promote Gender Equality
  4. Reduce Child Mortality
  5. Improve Maternal Health

Targeting System
The poorest households in the municipalities are selected through the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) implemented by the DSWD using the Proxy Means Test. This test determines the socio-economic category of the families by looking at certain proxy variables such as ownership of assets, type of housing, education of the household head, livelihood of the family and access to water and sanitation facilities.
Eligible Households
  1. Households who are classified as poor based on the NHTS-PR at the time of assessment
  2. Households that have children 0-14 years old and/or have a pregnant woman at the time of assessment
  3. Households that agree to meet conditions specified in the program.




Set of Co-Responsibilities
To avail of the cash grants beneficiaries should comply with the following conditions: 
  1. Pregnant women must avail pre- and post-natal care and be attended during childbirth by a trained health professional;
  2. Parents must attend Family Development Sessions (FDS);
  3. 0-5 year old children must receive regular preventive health check-ups and vaccines;
  4. 3-5 year old children must attend day care or pre-school classes at least 85% of the time.
  5. 6-14 year old children must enroll in elementary or high school and must attend at least 85% of the time.
  6. 6-14 years old children must receive deworming pills twice a year.
Program Coverage
Pantawid Pamilya operates in 79 provinces covering 1,261 municipalities and 138 key cities in all 17 regions nationwide. 

The program has 3,014,586 registered households as of 27 June 2012.

Program Cycle
The implementation of Pantawid Pamilya Program follows the 8-step cycle starting from the 1) selection of target areas, 2) supply side assessment, 3) selection of household beneficiaries, 4) registration and validation of beneficiaries, 5) Family Registry preparation, 6) initial payment, 7) verification of compliance and 8) 2nd and succeeding release of cash grants.




Program Package
Pantawid Pamilya provides cash grants to the beneficiaries to wit:
  • P6,000 a year or P500 per month per household for health and nutrition expenses; and
  • P3000 for one school year or 10 months or P300/month per child for educational expenses. A maximum of three children per household is allowed.
A household with three qualified children receives a subsidy of P1,400/month during the school year or P15,000 annually as long as they comply with the conditionalities. The cash grants shall be received by the most responsible person in the household, usually the mother, through a Land Bank cash card.

In cases where payment through cash card is not feasible, the beneficiaries shall be provided their cash grants through an alternative payment scheme such as over-the-counter transactions from the nearest Landbank branch or offsite payments through Landbank. Cash grants are also released through other rural banks, Globe Remit, Philpost, First Consolidated Bank and other Cooperative Financial Institutions (CFI) especially in far-flung areas.

 My comment about 4P's: I really appreciate that the government made a 4p's program(Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) because it is very useful in the fact that it can help a lot of unfortunate people here in the Philippines. Its very favorable to my part because as Filipino citizen, I also have concern to the needy people who have not enough basic needs in life. I hope and pray that this project will not be last and ended, and it will continue to activate from this generation to future's generation.

  15. can i have your personal critique on the said program.. to what extent u think the role of 4P's a life-sustaining program of government? does it mean that by having 4P's it will help to eliminate poverty?

    1. -I can say that the said program of the government helps a lot to those people who belongs to the less income family because this program helps provide the needs of these family especially in their health and medicines.
      -I dint think so that 4P's is a life sustaining program of the government because for me it all depends in the availability of funds wherein a lot of poor Filipino family are enjoying it.
      -The 4P's program only helps the poor people thus preventing the concern people in doing bad and making problems in the society. It will not just eliminate the poverty but it will minimize the poverty as well because the family has a support from the government.
      -But one thing that bothers in my mind is that what kind of people does the government really help? They say they help the poor families but there are families(considering they are poor even if they are not)pretending to be a poor even if they can sustain their own lives.

  16. THIS program is actually great :)

  17. This program has good intention but I don't think it's much of a help to the Filipino family. It will just help them be lazy and will ended up in waiting for the money allotted for them.
    Establishing Livelihood programs is more fit to do the job. In this way, each capable family member can work without being dependent on the government's money.
