There are number of students at Metro Manila College whose families
are 4P’s beneficiaries who are willing to share their lived experiences. Hence the researcher aimed to explore an in-depth analysis on their lived experiences specifically on the insights and implications of the program. The result of the study would help in gathering data that can be used as bases in enhancing the program effectiveness, policy development and management. The phenomenological approach was used and samples were chosen through convenience sampling from the list of beneficiaries. The co-researchers were informed personally from their respective classes to be part of this undertaking. A consent letter was also secured from their parents since majority of the co-researchers are minors. The essential requirements needed to be a bonafide beneficiaries such as attending family development sessions and seminars found to be a quality time to bond with each family member; health check-ups and class attendance. Some benefits they get from this program are use for education as this is the primary objective and able to buy simple things. Through this program the beneficiaries became more intact and lived harmoniously. Parents of the beneficiaries took this opportunity to alleviate their way-of-life by using the CCT wisely. Despite all struggles the beneficiaries had gone through, they find simple ways to enjoy their life to the fullest. The 4Ps’ have a remarkable impact on the lives of the beneficiaries particularly on education and health. The 4p’s helped many families especially in their day-to-day living and also a big help for the country to alleviate poverty. The researcher is recommending this program of the government through the DSWD and barangay to continue and institutionalize; and to provide more livelihood programs that help families not to be dependent on CCT.
