PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM BENEFICIARIES AND ITS

RELATIONSHIP TO THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

I. Introduction

According to the 1987 constitution, “The State shall protect and promote the right of all

citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make education

accessible to all”. And with this as the ground, the Philippine government initiated a version of

CCT or conditional cash transfer that is called Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4ps. The

aim of this program is to eradicate extreme poverty in the Philippines by investing in health and

education particularly in children from 0-18 years of age (Montilla et.al, 2015).

The beneficiaries of this program are required to undergo trainings on responsible

parenthood (Family Development Session), have pregnant women and their children undergo

check-ups, and parents are required to send their children to public school to avail the cash grant

(Montilla et.al, 2015). 4Ps has two components and that is health and education. Under the health

component, each family-beneficiary receives a total of PHP 6,000 annually for their health and

nutrition expenses. On the other hand, under the education component, the program provides a

total of PHP 3,000 per child (with a maximum of three children per household) for a

school year and that is for their educational expenses. And to avail the said cast grant,

children aged 3-5 years old must be enrolled in day care program or pre-school and attend at least

85% of the required schools days. While children aged 6-18 years old must be enrolled in school

and attend at least 85% of the required school days. Indeed, this program is a great help for the

poor families and for their children to get a chance to quality education (Reyes et.el, 2015).

Provided all this financial assistance to support the education of children, this study was

undertaken to assess whether 4Ps has helped the student to perform well in school.
