A SENIOR official of the Department of Social Welfare and Development on Thursday affirmed that some 761,150 households will be retained in the list of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program beneficiaries.
“That means, they will not graduate; they will continue to benefit from the program. Because of the assessment, our department saw that they are still poor and still need assistance under the 4Ps program,” Punay said in a television interview.The retained households were part of the 1.1 million households earlier assessed as non-poor under the Listahanan 3 of the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction .
“What we do here with our graduations, they are endorsed to local government units and we also provide them with various assistance or programs such as the Sustainable Livelihood Program to still help them as they exit from the 4Ps program,” Punay explained.
