'There may come a day when the impoverished would no longer need social safety nets like the 4Ps. But it is not today.' Opinion IMHO
The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is getting flak for its apparent inability to solve widespread poverty, which is quite weird because it was never meant to do so.
But such recommendations may be off the mark. Considering that the 4Ps were introduced to solve very specific problems, measuring its success based on such vague parameters within a very narrow period might not be fair, especially for indigent families relying on the program to survive the rising costs of food, fuel, and other basic necessities.
What is curious is that the current calls for a “strategic exit” from the 4Ps is actually contrary to the recommendations of policy experts, considering that the implementation of the 4Ps are actually not at par with best practices by countries with similar CCT programs.
