4P's Set 3 program registers 900 new household beneficiaries in Cabanglasan, Bukidnon
CAGAYAN
DE ORO CITY, March 7 (PNA) – At least 900 household beneficiaries were
registered as recipient of the Set 3 of the “Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program” or 4P’s in Northern Mindanao town, said region’s social
welfare information officer Recthie B. Tolinero, on Saturday.
Tolinero said Cabanglasan town in Bukidnon province had been
identified as one of program's recipients in Northern Mindanao.
The new registered household beneficiaries in Cabanglasan
will be receiving a maximum of P1,400 per household each month. The
conditional cash grant will be used to improve their family's health and
education.
The 4P’s Set 3 program which will accommodate at least one
million household beneficiaries nationwide, is being implemented by the
Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The DSWD field office in Region 10 has conducted an
orientation to the local government units (LGU) and service providers to
harmoniously implement the Set 3 program in the area.
The partner agencies were informed on the goals, benefits
and conditions of the program that will heavily need their cooperation
and active participation.
The LGU’s were informed of their roles in the implementation
of 4P’s in their localities. The LGU’s main role is ensure that the
health and educational needs of the people in their areas will be met
specifically in the supply side.
"Several 4Ps municipalities in the region have already shown
their support to the program by building more schools, increasing the
number of teachers, providing PhilHealth cards and adding more health
facilities and medicines," said 4P’s Focal Person Raiz Ampaso.
The 4P’s is one of the strategies of the government to
alleviate poverty by providing conditional cash grants to the extremely
poor households to improve their health, nutrition and education
specifically the children aged 0-14.
The household beneficiaries were determined through a
Proxy-Means Test after the conduct of household enumeration in the
municipality. (PNA)
