Coverage:
Description: Under the Set 5 expansion, the program currently covers all the 75
municipalities and 2 cities in the region. However, not all barangays
are covered due to the targeting strategy for urbanized cities like
Baguio, wherein the poorest barangays identified rather than
saturating the entire city.
The program is aimed at targeting five out of the eight Millennium
Development Goals. It is intended to address the following MDGs:
reduce poverty and hunger (goal 1), achieve universal primary
education (goal 2), reduce child mortality (goal 4), improve maternal
health (goal 5), and promote gender equality and women’s
empowerment (goal 3). These are all achieved by reducing extreme
poverty and increasing human capital of the poorest households,
particularly in the areas of nutrition, education, and health.
Officially launched in late 2007, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program is the Philippine government’s version of the conditional
cash transfer (CCT)- a program that is widely practiced in
other countries. The program is patterned after the conditional cash
transfer program in Latin America and African countries which have
been proven successful as a poverty reduction and social
development measure (World Bank, 2009)
The program offers the following health and education cash grants to
beneficiary-households: 1) 500 pesos a month per household, or
6,000 pesos a year, for preventive health check-ups and vaccines of
pregnant women and of children with ages five years old and below;
2) 300 pesos a month per child, or 3,000 pesos a year, for his/her
educational expenses for one school year (10 months).
The educational assistance is given to each household for a
maximum of three children. To be eligible, children should be
between three to 14 years of age and enrolled either in a day-care
program or in elementary school.

2. Thus a household with three qualified children can get a subsidy of
1,400 pesos per month, or 15,000 pesos a year, for a maximum of
five years (Senate, 2010).
The program has six conditionality that beneficiary-families must
comply with. These are the following:
1) Pregnant members of the household shall get pre-natal
care; childbirth shall be attended by skilled/trained health
professionals; and mothers shall get post-natal care
thereafter.
2) Children between 0-5 years old shall get regular preventive
health check-ups and receive immunizations, such as BCG,
DPT-OPV, anti-measles and hepatitis vaccines.
3) Children between 6-14 years old shall receive de-worming pills
twice a year
(Scheduled every five months, or every January and July of the
elementary school year).
4) Children between 3-5 years old shall go to day-care/pre-
school classes and attend 85 per cent of the time.
5) Children between 6-14 years old must be enrolled in school
and should attend classes 85 per cent of the time.
Starting this year, reporting period is every two (2) months. For the first two months,
the program was able to cover 97.17% of its target beneficiaries, while for the family
development session (FDS) is 91.87%.
On the financial aspect, Php 106.76 M or 74% was disbursed.

5. 4Ps Beneficiaries in CAR
DSWD-CAR initiates software development for CCT
The new programs developed by DSWD-CAR are expected to improve the
conduct of community assemblies such as the one shown in this photo.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development through its regional
office in the Cordillera has initiated developments in information technology that
are expected to improve the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilya program.
With the expansion of the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT), DSWD-CAR
personnel created applications that aim to store and utilize information for
easier control, access, safekeeping, and transfer of data for Pantawid Pamilya
partner beneficiaries.
The Pantawid Pamilya, which currently benefits some 54, 376
households in the region, relies heavily on data management within its entire
program cycle. The need to maintain and to regularly update data storage is
critical in its operation.
