Beneficiaries of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) may now claim their cash grants for the period of June-July 2024 starting on Thursday (September 5).
“The 4Ps household beneficiaries may now withdraw their cash grants starting on Thursday, through their ATM cards in select Land Bank branches or from accredited merchants via Point-of-Sale (POS) in their respective localities,” DSWD Asst. Secretary Irene Dumlao, who is also the agency spokesperson, said.
According to Asst. Secretary Dumlao, the DSWD and Land Bank of the Philippines have started crediting the cash grants of 4Ps household-beneficiaries on September 5 until September 7.
The DSWD official added each beneficiary will receive rice, health, and education grants.
“Household beneficiaries from the National Capital Region (NCR); Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR); Regions 1 (Ilocos Region); 2 (Cagayan Valley); 3 (Central Luzon); 9 (Zamboanga Peninsula), Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM); and the additional 4Ps households from Listahanan 3 may expect to receive their cash grants on September 5,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao pointed out.
The DSWD spokesperson said the cash grants of beneficiaries from Regions 8 (Eastern Visayas); 11 (Davao Region); 12 (SOCCSKSARGEN); 7 (Central Visayas); 10 (Northern Mindanao); and Caraga will be credited on September 6.
“Beneficiaries from the remaining regions—Regions 6 (Western Visayas); 5 (Bicol Region); 4-A (CALABARZON); and MIMAROPA will receive their grants on September 7,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao said.
Asst. Secretary Dumlao reminded the 4Ps beneficiaries to use the grants for its intended purpose—the education and health of their monitored children.
“We also remind them to be vigilant as they claim their cash grants to avoid untoward incidents,” Asst. Secretary Dumlao stressed.
The 4Ps is the flagship program of the national government on poverty reduction and social development implemented by the DSWD.
The program provides cash grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition, and education, particularly for children aged 0-18.
