Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a government initiative aimed at reducing poverty and improving health and education outcomes for low-income families in the Philippines. It provides conditional cash grants to families with children enrolled in school, requiring them to meet certain conditions such as regular health check-ups and attendance at family development sessions. The program has been expanded to include additional support like the First 1000 Days initiative, offering extra monthly cash grants for proper nutrition during pregnancy and early childhood development.
