Over 600,000 beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program have not received their educational grants for 2023 due to significant budget cuts initiated by Senator Imee Marcos.
This was disclosed during the hearing of the House Committee on Public Accounts, chaired by Rep. Joseph Stephen Paduano where DSWD representatives disclosed the need for P3.9 billion to cover the 2023 educational grants for 667,608 4Ps beneficiaries. At the time, Abalos noted that the DSWD was still validating the list of 4Ps beneficiaries and could only pay those who had been confirmed as qualified recipients of the educational grant.
Aside from the P3.9 billion deficit for 2023, a projected P6.5 billion deficit for the 4Ps program is anticipated for 2024. “Alam po namin na ito ay ayuda pero malaking bagay po ang magagawa nito na magiging tuntungan namin para naman hindi na kami manatiling mahirap,” Luna added.
