Chapter 1

Introduction

Poverty has always remained a critical social problem that calls to be addressed. Several

anti-poverty programs has been designed, created and implemented in order to alleviate poverty.

In 2007, former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo launched the Conditional Cash Transfer

program or CCT and was implemented on a wider scale starting 2008.This Anti-Poverty program

was sustained by President Benigno Aquino as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps

which was designed to promote investment in human capital among poor families with children

0-14 years old

The Philippine government shows its serious effort to combat poverty through the

continuing expansion of the 4Ps, the Philippines’ version of the conditional cash transfer (CCT)

program modeled by Latin American countries. The 4Ps by far is the most comprehensive and

also, controversial poverty reduction program of the Philippine government because of the huge

amount of money the government has allocated for this.

This program covers 79 provinces covering 1,261 municipalities and 138 key cities in all

17 regions nationwide with the Department of Social Welfare and Development as the

monitoring agency. It is a program designed to address the escalated percentage of Filipino

families who are not able to provide their family with basic needs such as; shelter, food, clothes,

and education.

The proponents chose to conduct the analysis on the implementation of the program in

selected area in Negros Occidental particularly on Escalante, San Agustin, Isabela, Barangay

Salong, Kabankalan City, E.B. Magalona, Brgy. Damgo, Miranda Pontevedra, La Carlota, Ilog,
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

and Libertad, Bacolod City. In which the perception of both the beneficiaries and implementers

on the implementation of the said program.. This will also include the identification of

particular conditions and requirements, as well as the benefits to meet the goal of household

optimization.

The Human Development and Poverty Reduction Cabinet Cluster (HDPRCC) has

identified Negros Occidental as one of the 10 priority provinces in the country with highest

magnitude of poor residents, but with high growth potential.

Subsequently, this study would yield insights on how the recipients utilize government

development support in improving their lives. Also, the proponent seeks to give intuitive

information regarding the program and its present stance as part of poverty-reduction advocacy

so that the government would have a clear view in evaluating its efficacy, if it indeed

contributes a good future payoff considering the use of very large resources.

Statement of Problem

The purpose of this analysis is to assess the level of effectiveness of the Pantawid

Pamilyang Pilipino Program in Negros as basis for policy review and policy enhancement.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of effectiveness of 4Ps as assessed by Implementers/ Partners of the program

in the areas of:

a) Health

b) Education

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

c) Livelihood

2. What is the level of effectiveness of 4Ps in Negros Occidental as assessed by Program

Beneficiaries in the areas of:

a) Health

b) Education

c) Livelihood

3. Is there a significant difference in the level of effectiveness of the implementation of 4Ps in

Negros Occidental in the three areas when respondents are grouped as to:

a. Program Beneficiaries

b. Program Implementers/Partners

4. What are the salient datascope that can be derived in terms of programs in the areas of Health,

Education, and Livelihood?

Theoretical Background and Review of Related Literature

The analysis is anchored on the "Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program Act of 2010," In

consonance with Article 2, Section 9 of the Philippine Constitution which provides that the State

shall promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the prosperity and independence of

the nation and free the people from poverty through policies that provide adequate social

services, promote full employment, a rising standard of living, and an improved quality of life

for all. According to 2006 Annual Poverty Statistics of the National Statistical Coordination

Board, 27.9 Million Filipinos or one-third (l/3) of the entire population are poor. To address this
_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

problem the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) implemented a

Conditional Cash Transfer Program known as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)

inspired by the successes of similar programs in Latin American countries such as Bolsa Familia

in Brazil, Familias en Accion in Colombia and OPORTUNIDADES in Mexico.

Conditional cash transfer programs (hereon CCTs) have become increasingly popular

policies to fight poverty transmission and inequality. Generally, CCTs' main focus is the

promotion of health, nutrition, and schooling, mainly of young household members. To

encourage poor households to meet these investments, they are established as conditions to

receive a cash transfer that allows them to ease credit constraints (Aguilar, 2012). Thus, such

program had grown very popular in the recent past. It has started to develop in many developing

countries, notably outside Latin America. Examples include conditional incentive programs for

pregnant women to deliver in health facilities in India and Nepal (Ministry of Health and Family

Welfare, 2005; Powell-Jackson, 2009).

Similar program was believed to commence in the Government of Mexico in 1997 when

it introduced a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program called Programa de Educación, Salud, y

Alimentación (Progresa) providing assistance to about 300,000 extremely poor households in

which its essential premise is a cash transfer to households, conditioned on their participation in

health, nutrition, and education services. Ten years later, Progresa, now Oportunidades, covered

more than 5 million households in all 31 Mexican states. The widespread positive results from

Progresa served as an encouragement to extend these programs in many other countries (Haines

& Palmer, 2009).

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

Approximately 20 countries have adopted a pilot or full-scale CCT program, and other 20

countries have expressed interest in starting one. Most current programs are in Latin America,

but others can be found in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, and interest is increasing among

African countries struggling with extreme poverty and low human capital. CCT programs are

increasingly perceived as being ―a magic bullet in development‖ (Hoddinott, 2007).

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is more than a welfare program. It

addresses structural inequities in society and promotes human capital development of the poor,

thus, breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty. The conditions attached to the grants

require parents to undergo trainings on responsible parenthood, have their children undergo

health check-ups and ensure school attendance. The program ensures that there is sufficient

resource for the health, nutrition and education of children aged 0-14 year old.

The Beneficiaries are also aware that the program is only good for a maximum of five

years, and the grants provided are to be used only for the schools needs of the children and for

the health and nutrition of the household. DSWD also employed a convergence strategy which

merges poverty-reduction programs of the department with Pantawid Pamilya as its backbone to

ensure sustainability and to serve as an exit strategy

The poorest households in the municipalities are selected through the National

Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) implemented by the DSWD

using the Proxy Means Test. This test determines the socio-economic category of the families by

looking at certain proxy variables such as ownership of assets, type of housing, education of the

household head, livelihood of the family and access to water and sanitation facilities

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

The grantees are given allowances: P500 per month (P6, 000 annually) per household for

health and nutrition expenses, and P300/ school month (P3, 000/school year or 10 months) per

child for educational expenses, but only a maximum of three children per household. If a

household has three qualified children, the family will receive a subsidy of P1, 400/month (P15,

000 annually) (Gadian, 2012).

For Health and Nutrition Compliance, children 0-5 Years Old should visit the health

center to avail immunization – have monthly weight monitoring and nutrition counseling, for

children aged 0-2 years old they must have quarterly weight monitoring for 25 to 73 weeks old

and have management of childhood diseases for sick children and for children 6-14 Years Old

they must receive deworming pills twice a year. Children 3-5 years old must be enrolled in day

care or pre-school program and maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85% per month and

for children 6-14 years old they must be enrolled in elementary and secondary school and

maintain a class attendance rate of at least 85% per month

Conditional cash transfers support poor families, contingent on investments in the human

capital of their children, mainly by mandating school attendance and/or use of healthcare

services (Rawlings & Rubio, 2005). Beneficiaries are usually required to use maternal and child

preventive health, nutrition, and care services and to enroll and maintain school-aged children in

school (Leroya, Ruelb, &Verhofstadta, 2009).

To become eligible for the Pantawid Pamilya, a household needs to satisfy a uniform set

of criteria, which include (i) residing in program areas of the Pantawid Pamilya, (ii) being

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

identified as poor based on a proxy means test (PMT), and (iii) having either a pregnant woman

or at least one child below 15 years of age at the time of enumeration by the NHTS-PR

(Velarde&Fernandez, 2011). In the selection process, beneficiaries for Pantawid Pamilya are

chosen through a combination of geographical targeting and the proxy means testing (PMT)

method, by the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR). The

PMT, centrally designed in 2007 and implemented starting in 2008 by DSWD, predicts

household income using observable and verifiable variables that are highly correlated with

household income (Friedman & Onishi, 2013). Health and nutrition conditions generally require

periodic checkups, growth monitoring, and vaccinations for children less than five years of age;

prenatal care for mothers and attendance by mothers at periodic health information talks.

Education conditions usually include school enrollment, attendance on 80–85 percent of school

days, and occasionally some measure of performance (De Janvry, Alain, & Sadoulet, 2006).

In Colombia, where the program is popularly known as Familias en Accion, two types of

monetary transfers with conditionality attached are given to the mothers: (1/) conditional on their

children under seven years old attending preventive health care visits; mothers are also

encouraged to attend courses on hygiene, nutrition and family planning. (2/) conditional on their

children aged 7-17 attending at least 80%of school classes (Attanasio, 2005). The same

interventions go with Red de protection social in Nicaragua where the program has two

components: first, a ―monthly food security‖ cash transfer conditional on attendance at monthly

health educational workshops, on bringing their children under age 5 for free scheduled

preventive childcare appointments, on having up-to-date vaccination, and on adequate weight

gain; second, a ―school attendance‖ cash transfer every two months contingent on enrollment

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

and regular school attendance of children aged 7-13. Beneficiaries do not receive the food or

education cash transfers if they failed to comply with any of the conditions (Mallucio, 2004).

Similar findings were illuminated in a study conducted by Jehan Arulpragasam, Luisa

Fernandez, Yasuhiko Matsuda, RosechinOlfindo, and Matt Stephens in 2011 whereby according

to them, CCT program provides cash to poor households as long as the beneficiary households

comply with the conditions of the program.

Health grants are provided for beneficiary households with children 0-14 years old and/or

with pregnant women with the conditions that all children 0-5 years old and the pregnant women

visit health centers and receive services according to the Department of Health (DOH) protocol,

all children 6-14 years old at elementary level undergo de-worming protocol at schools, and the

household grantees (mainly women) attend family development sessions at least once a month.

Education grants are provided for beneficiary households with children 3-14 years old with the

conditions that the children are enrolled in daycare, pre-school primary or secondary school and

maintain a class attendance rate of 85 percent every month.

This kind of program requires the same systems as other transfer programs: at minimum,

(1) a means to establish the eligibility of clients and enroll them in the program, and (2) a

mechanism to pay their benefits. Strong monitoring and evaluation systems also are desirable.

CCTs further require a means to monitor compliance with conditions and to coordinate among

the several institutions involved in operating the program (Fiszbein&Schady, 2009).

In line with this, a recent study in Turkey initiated by Kudat, Ayse explained the key

objectives of the first phase of impact evaluation that includes: (a) assessing whether the CCT

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

program has reached the intended population and achieved the objective of alleviating current

poverty, including through encouraging school attendance, use of preventative health service and

increasing the human capital of poor households; and (b) identifying secondary as well as

unintended impacts of the program. Such assessment report in that particular country aims to

provide rapid feedback on program implementation and preliminary impact. As for the

distribution of resource, the program has created a more practical way of reaching its recipients.

In the conditional cash transfer program launched in India in January 2013, the resources

were expected to reach around 720 million people, and that anyone who lives below or just

above the national poverty line can qualify. It was also mentioned in the report that the

government believed that by giving money to the individuals directly will make the welfare

program more effective (The Wall Street Journal).

The related literature and studies cited have helped the researcher in formulating the

statement of the problem and in developing the theoretical framework using the CIPP (Context,

Input, Process, Output) Model developed by Daniel Stafflebeam.

A schematic diagram of the theoretical framework is illustrated on the succeeding page.

METHODOLOGY

This Chapter presents the research design, respondents, measures, procedures and

statistical treatment used for the problem under investigation.

Research/Analysis Design

In this analysis, the proponents will use descriptive research design. Descriptive research

focuses on the present condition and it provides essential knowledge about the nature of objects

and person being studied. Moreover, descriptive research determines the degree to which

variables are associated to each other (Elahi&Dehdashti, 2018). Descriptive research is

significant as surveys abound in educational research and are utilized by many researchers as an

investigative tool to collect data in order to address educational questions (Gay et al., 2006).

Participants

The participants shall be composed of 4Ps beneficiaries from Negros Occidental selected

through random sampling. Participants will also include Program Implementers to include City

link officers, DSWD Personnel and program partners, Barangay Health workers, City Health

officers, DepEd personnel in-charge of 4Ps and Punong Barangays.

Measures

The proponents will construct a researcher-made survey questionnaire wherein

formulated questions will serve as guide in gathering data related to the problem. All questions

are related to the services provided by 4PS. The first part of the questionnaire pertained to the

personal profile of the respondents or their socioeconomic profile. The second part consisted of

questions about the implementation of 4Ps with 5-point Likert- type scale questions about the

program proper and utilization of cash grants. The third part pertains to the problems

encountered by the participants in the program implementation.

Procedures

Data Gathering. . The data for this research will be collected using a survey

questionnaire. The survey questionnaire was created using suitable questions modified from

related research and individual questions formed by the researchers. This will be analyzed
_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

through the guided objectives of the study. The contents of the questionnaires were carefully

chosen and reviewed. The survey comprised of three parts with questions related to the

participants’ information and points of view about the 4Ps.

Data Analysis. The collected primary and secondary data from the responses of

respondents from survey questionnaire will be analyzed through descriptive and inferential

statistics. Descriptive analysis will be employed for the problem no. 1 and 2 and comparative

analysis will be employed for problem no. 3 and 4.

Statistical Tool. To answer the problems being investigated, the following statistical tools

will be as follows:

For problem 1, The Mean will be used to measure the level of effectiveness of 4Ps in

selected areas of Negros Occidental as assessed by Implementers/ Partners and Beneficiaries

when taken as a whole and when grouped according to Health, Education and Livelihood. The

mean will be obtained by dividing the sum of data from the responses of the participants by the

number of questions from the level of effectiveness of 4Ps.

For Problem 2, The Mean will be used to measure the level of effectiveness of the

implementation of 4Ps as assessed by Program Implementers/ Partners and Beneficiaries when

taken as a whole and when grouped according to age, educational attainment and family size in

the areas of Health, Education and Livelihood. The mean will be obtained by dividing the sum of

data from the responses of the participants by the number of questions from the level of

effectiveness of 4Ps.

Reflected as follows are the mean range and interpretation.

Implications

Salient Data from the Interview (Beneficiaries)

Health

29/30 kids or 99% of children 0-5 years of age have regular preventive health check-ups

and vaccines. On the other hand, 16% of Pregnant women is not able to get (3) pre-natal check-

up starting from the first trimester. Furthermore, 3/5 children 6-14 years old has undergone

deworming at least twice a year. While 87% of the beneficiaries visits the clinic regularly and

only 1/30 of the beneficiaries sanitary needs are not being met.

Education

99% of children 3-5 years of age are enrolled in a day care program or pre-school and

has attended at least eighty five percent (85%) of the required school days. However, 13 percent

beneficiaries has no capacity to buy educational materials (notebooks,pens,etc) and school

uniform.

Livelihood

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

40% of beneficiaries is not able to put up small business/livelihood. Furthermore, 37% is

not able to improve their daily income. Also, 30% of the beneficiaries has a debt or borrowings.

However, 90% is able to finance household improvements and 94% of the basic needs of

the family are provided (food, shelter, clothing).

Chapter 4

Conclusion and Recommendation

Conclusion

Both beneficiaries and implementors when taken as whole and grouped according to age

and educational attainment rates the 4ps as effective. This study has shown that most of the

programs under the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program are being met.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

There is a difference on the perception of effectiveness under the livelihood programs

between the implementers and beneficiaries. However, when taken as a whole, there is no

significant difference in the level of effectiveness of the implementation of 4Ps in Negros

Occidental in the three areas when respondents are grouped according to implementers and

beneficiaries

Recommendation

In order for this analysis to be beneficial for both the beneficiaries and implementors. It is

suggested that the participant of the study be targeted or reach sample size of the total population

which are important in the accuracy of the data.

Lastly, evaluating other areas not yet tackled in this study such as the difference in

effectiveness in services in their local areas and in the national level if such geographical

locations is also a factor in the delivery of services is highly suggested. Having a qualitative

study that would look into in-depth manner the awareness of the processes, concepts, and

methodologies in the law, and their personal experiences is also hereby recommended.

Educating the public is also very important to the beneficiaries and informing them of

what can the 4Ps offer and do to them. Education is one of the greatest tools in empowering and

preventing social dysfunction. Many practitioners uphold that education of one the basic needs of

humankind. The UNICEF in its 2004 report claimed that education opens an infinite number of

doors and expands innovation and scientific-based practice. The implementation of the Mental

Health Law, indeed, requires both special set of knowledge and a compassionate heart. It is the

_____________________________________________________________________________________
 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 31

sense of being aware that the doors of what should be done are being opened. Hence, this study

has also come up with a mental health advocacy for social workers.
