Established under Republic Act No. 11310, the 4Ps is the government’s flagship conditional cash transfer program that provides financial assistance to low-income households to support children’s education, health, and nutrition.

Under the program, qualified beneficiaries receive a monthly health grant of P500 per household and an education grant of P300 per child, subject to the program’s conditions.

The DSWD said the city government will prioritize all 578 graduates for various local assistance programs, including rice subsidies, livelihood assistance, skills training, and other capacity-building initiatives.

During the ceremony, Mayor Luis A. Ferrer IV pledged the local government’s continued support for the graduates and reaffirmed its commitment to the 4Ps program, citing its role in helping families keep their children in school while improving their health and overall well-being.

Ahead of the graduation rites, 100 program graduates also received P5,000 each in livelihood assistance under a city government livelihood program./coa
