The Provincial Social Welfare Officer here reminded beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to comply with the requirements and conditions on the provision of the social pensions and other benefits under the said Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of the national government or else they will be dropped from the rolls.
Observations on the violations of the policies in the implementation of the program have been the subject of reports and commentaries by the local media here.
PSWD Officer Decimia D. Cabang said that the term conditional cash transfer implies that there are conditions that the beneficiaries have to comply with. Some of the basic requirements is for the beneficiaries to attend the regular seminar-training programs on various concerns such as basic health and nutrition, family planning, as well the attendance of their children to school.
There are now 13 municipalities in Abra where the 4Ps is being implemented. The beneficiaries were identified through the National Household Targeting System (NHTS) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).
The provincial capital town of Bangued with more than a thousand beneficiaries was recently added to the existing list of 4Ps beneficiaries in the province.
