The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a human development measure of the
national government that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor, to
improve the health, nutrition, and the education of children aged 0-18. It is patterned after
the conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in Latin American and African countries,
which have lifted millions of people around the world from poverty.The Department of
Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is the lead government agency of the 4Ps.The
4Ps also helps the Philippine government fulfill its commitment to the Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs)—specifically in eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, in
achieving universal primary education, in promoting gender equality, in reducing child
mortality, and in improving maternal health care.
History of 4 p’s
ESGP-PA is a college education program for beneficiaries of PantawidPamilya. From
2012 to 2018, it provided the grantees with opportunity to get a college education and
increase their chance to get better employment in the future. It was a program
implemented by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), Department of Budget
and Management (DBM), Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges
(PASUC), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and Department of
Labor and Employment (DOLE). It aimed to help the grantees uplift their living condition
and become contributors to national development.
Through PantawidPamilya and ESGP-PA, the two graduates were able to exceed the
expectations from women from poor households who usually stay at home to take care
of their children and family. Rigie May received honorific academic awards, while
Jaysan graduated magna cum laude.
On May 2018, Rigie May and Jaysan were two of the students who were recognized
during the ArawngPagkilala, a gathering of PantawidPamilya ESGP-PA grantees and
senior high school graduates from different parts of the Philippines. The event was a
recognition ceremony and venue for sharing experiences and stories of the journey of
PantawidPamilya beneficiaries. The participants were introduced to CHED’s UniFAST
(Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education); DOLE’s and
TESDA’s trainings and employment opportunities; and a career orientation from More
Than Jobs PH.

The student:
According to Mina, 4Ps beneficiaries will have higher chances of securing better jobs
and higher income if they graduate from high school. There is a 45-percent average
wage differential between a high school graduate and an elementary undergraduate
and a 32-percent average wage differential between high school and elementary
graduates.
The Parent:
`Parents work to compensate for loss of income from children who attend school. When
people publicly recognize the importance of education, families are convinced to keep
their children in school. Households also respond by exerting more effort,` Orbeta said
