Introduction
One aspect that is affiliate to the health status of an individual is poverty. Persons suffering
from poverty are getting sick easily for they are often exposed to environmental health risk. These
persons are also less well-nourished and have less access to healthcare and education that could
aid them for a healthy lifestyle (Frufonga 2016). The Philippines recognizes the need to address
issues on poverty reduction. Being a third world country, several means in order to keep at par
with the Millennium Development Goals were observed. One of the most popular measures
adopted by the country is the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
in 2007. Brazil and Mexico were the first countries to implement the concept of a CCT program.
The main objective was to provide care commitment provide cash to families who were in extreme
poverty in exchange for some education and health. The 4ps is the Philippine version of the CCT.
Based on the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) primer, the 4P’s is a
poverty-reduction and social development strategy of the national government. Conditional Cash
Transfer (CCT) program patterned after the success of the different CCTs in Latin American
Countries. The successes of programs like Bolsa Familia of Brazil and Oportunidades of Mexico
inspired the implementation of the program. Orbeta (2013) defined 4Ps as the centerpiece social
protection program of the Philippine government. Like conditional cash transfer programs in many
other countries, it provides cash grants to beneficiaries provide they comply with specified
conditions such as keeping their children in school, getting health checks-ups, and attending family
sessions. Moreover, Cecchini and Madariaga 2011 expound 4Ps as a social that entails monetary
and nonmonetary transfers to the poor or poorest families that have school-age children of the
condition that they meet certain terms that are aimed at improving their capacities. The 4Ps helps
fulfilling the countries commitment in the Millennium Goals Development (MDG’s) particularly
in (i) eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, (ii) achieving universal primary education, (iii)
promoting gender equality, (iv)reducing child mortality, and (v) improving maternal health (Celia
