DSWD logs 32T new 4Ps beneficiaries in NegOr

DUMAGUETE CITY, Negros Oriental, Feb. 3 (PIA) -- The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) here has registered 31,625 new beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in the province.

In Central Visayas, the DSWD targeted a total of 90,242 new beneficiaries under the 4Ps.

The new 4Ps beneficiaries are replacements for beneficiaries who graduated or exited from the program as they were already at the self-sufficient level, 4Ps households with children who have finished their senior high school studies, and have no monitored eligible children.

Cebu province has the highest number of new beneficiaries with 40,817, followed by Negros Oriental with 31,625, Bohol with 16,971, and Siquijor with 829.

Currently, there are 288,841 4Ps households in the region.

The posting of the masterlist of potential 4Ps beneficiaries will start in February.

It will be posted in conspicuous spaces such as the barangay halls and city and municipal halls.

"We encourage the public to help us validate the masterlist to ensure that only eligible and deserving households become part of the program. After we post the master list in each area, the validation process will follow, which will be done through a community assembly or a house-to-house visit by our 4Ps staff," said DSWD7 Regional Director Shalaine Marie Lucero.

The potential 4Ps households are required to submit the marriage certificate, birth certificate, school enrollment certificate, health enrollment certificate, valid identification card (ID), or other alternate documents as part of the supporting documents during the registration.

The assigned 4Ps City and Municipal Links (C/MLs) will announce the registration schedule and the venue per barangay.

Lucero emphasized the importance of teamwork to accomplish the task successfully.

"We will be registering a large number of beneficiaries in 4Ps, and this entails good planning and strategy to deliver the task ahead. We also need to have proper coordination with the local government units (LGUs) to ensure an orderly and organized registration of 4Ps households," said Lucero.

She added that the agency will install a grievance help desk during the 4Ps registration to receive complaints from the potential beneficiaries and the public.

The masterlist of potential 4Ps beneficiaries comes from the Listahanan’s third round of household assessment, which was conducted in 2019.

Aside from being identified as poor from Listahanan, a 4Ps household must have children aged 0–18 or a pregnant member at the time of the household assessment and must be willing and able to comply with the conditions of the program as part of their co-responsibilities.
