 CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKROUND

Introduction

History had become one the most omnipresent eye to witness the impecuniosity

exploiting all over the world. And that human kind have done so much for innovation and

inventions preaching for progress and betterment but apparently never had found any

fine, well and firm solution for freezing out the most common problem among countries,

poverty.

Poverty which is a phenomena as old as human, has become a worldwide

challenge and a case that is define as the state of one’s who lacks a usual or socially

acceptable amount of money and / or material possession (2019, Encyclopedia Britannica

Inc.). Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs

(Adam Augustyn 2018), basically, unable to satisfy or meet the primary needs of

individual or a family. However, poverty is more, much more than just not having a

money, because it is one’s absence to knowledge towards responsibility in a community

and become so normalized that society tend to believe that the only solution to get rid of

it is hard work. According to (WB org.), hunger, lack of shelter being sick and not able to

see a doctor, not having access to school and not knowing how to read which defines

beggary is a fear for the future.

In the Philippines, among Filipino people the existence of insufficient and

inadequate supply on the primary and basic needs of individuals and a family is evident
and unambiguous. In 2012, 19.2 % of the population or around 18.4 million people are

affected by extreme poverty. The subsistence incidence among Filipino individuals was

estimated at 8.5 % in the first semester of 2018 and 13.0 % in the first semester of 2015

(PSA.gov.ph). The existence of this crisis, drive the government to act for a resolution.

And that they adapted a patterned way scheme from American and African countries,

named Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme which have lifted millions of people around

the globe. In the Philippines, it is known as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or

4P’s.

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4P’s is a human development measure

of the national government that provides conditional cash grants or assistance to the

poorest of the poor, to improve the health, nutrition and education of children aged 0-18.

And was headed by the leading government agency, which is the Department of Social

Welfare and Development (DSWD). The 4P’s has two (2) deal objectives as a flagship

for poverty, (a) social assistance which pertains to giving monetary support for extremely

poor families to responds their immediate needs and (b) social development which stands

for breaking the intergenerational poverty cycle by investing in the health and education.

The 4P’s operates in all the 17 regions, 79 provinces, 143 cities and 1,984 municipalities

in the Philippines. Beneficiaries are selected through the National Household Targeting

System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) and effectively mandated and process all over

the country.

The conditional cash grants given to the beneficiaries in the Philippines, being

specific and particular in Tanauan are intended to spend according to the objectives of the

program which is for educational and health purposes towards their children. But as what
the researchers observed, there are instances in which the valuable objectives and

conditions of the program are not meet accordingly. And contemplate to ask if the cash

assistance given by the government is spends with accordance to the conditions and

tenacities of the platform. Or is there any error in the navigation of the cash assistance

expenditure. With this mention views and judgement, the researchers came up into an

idea that results to a study. A study that would substantial interest of the most? A study

entitled “A survey on how do the 4P’s parents spend the cash assistance given by the

government” that focuses on the factors that contribute to the spending and / or how do

the parents spend the cash aid given by the government. This study is limited to only five

(5) selected barangays in a specific locale which is in Tanauan, Leyte considering the (a)

time allocation, (b) financial facets and (c) human resources. This study would be of great

benefits for furtherance and betterment of both the program and the beneficiaries.
Statement of the problem

This study was sought to elaborate, design, and evaluate on how did the parents of

4P’s beneficiaries spent the government cash assistance in selected barangays of

Tanauan, Leyte.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of :

1.1 Age

1.2 Address

1.3 Type of Employment

1.4 Average Monthly Income

1.5 Monthly expenses

1.6 Number of Beneficiaries in the family

1.7 Total Number of Children in the Family

2. How do the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries spend the government cash assistance?3

3. What factors do the respondents consider in spending the cash assistance they

receive from the government?

4. What benefits do the respondents get from spending the government assistance?

5. Did the delay of the cash assistance affect the daily expenses?

6. What recommendations can be drawn based on the findings of the study?

Hypothesis

The research hypothesis is stated as: the longer the delayed of cash assistance that

result to debting, the higher the possibility of misallocation of budgets.

Significance of the study

The findings of this study would be of great benefits to the following:

4P’s Parent Beneficiaries. Through this study, the beneficiaries will be able to

gain knowledge on how to handle properly the cash assistance received from the

government. With that the future beneficiaries will be able to resolve the problem with

regards to the proper budgeting of the cash assistance received.

Department of Social Welfare and Development. Through this study the

department will be able to make adjustment and improve the implementation that would

guarantee the furtherance of the program.

Researchers. Through this study, the researchers were able to gain knowledge on

how to write and conduct a research paper, therefore this study could be an edge for their

higher education that will lead for expertise.

Future Researchers. The findings of this research can be used as a good

reference of accurate and useful information for the future investigations and studies.
Scope and Delimitation

This research is designed to have a thorough understanding on how do the parents

of 4P’s beneficiaries spend the cash assistance received.

The focus of this study is limited only to the selected barangays of Tanauan,

Leyte namely: Barangay San Isidro, Barangay Sto Niño, Barangay Canramos, Barangay

Salvador, and Barangay San Roque. The other 4P’s beneficiaries from other barangays

have not been given any attention in the study to investigate the said phenomenon.

This study will also be limited to seeking answers to the following questions: (a)

What is the profile of the respondents, (b) How do the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries spend

the government cash assistance (c) What factors do the respondents consider in spending

the cash assistance they receive from the government, (d) What benefits do the

respondents get from spending the government assistance, (e) Did the delay of the cash

assistance affects the daily expenses, and (f) What recommendations can be drawn based

on the findings of the study.

 Bills
 Transportation

The cash assistance given by the government was intended to spend according to
the objectives of the program which is for educational and health purposes of the
beneficiaries. But these objectives are being affected by the manner of spending.
Although some of the parents still manage to spend the cash assistance for the education
of their child / children, there are still some of them who allocate the cash grants to other
things that are not related to the main objective of the program such as: personal
necessities, bills and transportation fees.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND RELATED STUDIES

Related Literature

According to World Bank Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4P’s is

currently the world’s fourth largest and has one of the most comprehensive poverty

targeting databases in the world today, covering 75% of the country’s population and it

has been used extensively to identify poor and local government programs. It started in

the year 2007 and was implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and

Development (DSWD), along with cooperative partner institutions such as the

Department of Education, Department of Health, Department of the Interior and Local

Government, and various other government institutions (DSWD, 2011)

The “CCT programs address both future poverty by fostering human capital

accumulation among the young as a means of breaking the intergenerational transmission

of poverty and current poverty, by providing income support for consumption in the short

run” (Rawling and Rubio, 2005, p.33). Indeed, the main objective of the 4P’s and other

CCT programs is to prevent intergenerational transference of poverty and help break the

infinite cycle of poverty by providing the children a suitable educational and health

assistance so as to help them develop the facilities for a better future. Investing in

children’s human capital and ensuring that they grow into educated and healthy adults, is

the equivalent of teaching them how to fish. Healthy educated children ultimately have
more choices in life and are able to become productive members of society. (Bloom

2008)

Furthermore, the implementation of the 4P’s lessen the incidence of child labor

and other forms of child abuse. These requirement increases the time children spend in

school and reduces the time they can allocate to work. (Gee, 2010). This is a noticeable

increase in the number of enrolees in many elementary schools in areas included in the

scope of the 4P’s and kindergarten classes were being established to answer the need of

the community in compliance to the condition of sending 3-5 years old children in day

care centres and pre-schools (DSWD, 2009). Subsequently, if collaborative compliance

to this requirement of the 4P’s is ensured the literacy rate of the children is also expected

to increase as well as the attendance of the children in school like what the program is

intended for. As mentioned by Gundlack, Navarro de Pablo, and Weiser (2010), the

centrality of education in poverty-reduction policies stem from the belief that education is

a powerful equalizer and the main asset of most people. The 4P’s intend to provide the

basis for this much needed equality by providing the poor people with the education that

they could not access otherwise.

This program does not only lessen the child labor and absenteeism but as well as

the problem with malnutrition, which is prevalent amongst the poor families almost the

whole country. Since it is a prime requirement for beneficiaries to avail of the health

services being offered in their health centres such as pre-and post- natal services,

vaccination and check-ups before acquiring the money grants, the health and nutrition of

the poor families are safeguarded.

 In the nutshell, the underlying concept of CCT program, and of the 4Ps as well is:

once individuals are healthy, better fed, and educated, they will be able to overcome

poverty in the long run (Valencia, 2009).

Like any other government program, the 4P’s have its disadvantages that may

hold back its helpful benefits. One of the most crucial characteristic of the 4Ps and other

CCT programs implemented in other counties is its being a ‘demand side’ intervention

instead of being a ‘supply-side’ intervention. That is, in order to be considered as a

beneficiary of the program, one must concede with the government’s demands and

conditionalities (Coady and Parker, 2002). This is remarkably notable in the conditions

concerning education and health services system instead of expanding the education and

health systems i order to reach them.

Furthermore, as previously mentioned poverty in the country is not only caused by

the lack of economical resources, but also because of socio-economic and political

factors that prevent the equality and distribution of resources. Although the 4Ps aims to

provide the poor with the education which is, otherwise, inaccessible, it does not directly

answer the socio-economic and political problems that are the primary cause of poverty.

In the case of the 4Ps in the Philippines, it does not answer the issues regarding the

political and economic elite families. And poverty can only be totally alleviated if there

are programs that could target its roots.

The 4Ps also encountered some difficulties in achieving support from the other

social classes mainly because it does not benefit middle-income groups which have also

been steadily affected by limited universal services and decreases in employment

(Cuesta,2007). These middle-income groups are also suffering from issues of poverty and
limited access to educational and health benefits, but are not included in the target

population of the 4P’s.

In the study, the researcher sought to find the answers to the most common issue

aforementioned which is about how do the parents or guardians spend the cash assistance,

since they are alleged for the misuse of cash assistance that is intended only for health,

education and food for the family and not for the vices.
Related Studies

A Filipino study by Maryjoy Mella, Floren Camille Osido and Lemarie Suing

about Conditional Cash Transfer Program in the Philippines: Pantawid Pamilyang

Pilipino found that The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Programs poses many appealing

objectives, goals and benefits for the poor families that comprises most of the

Philippine’s population. The 4Ps is a good example of strengthening the government’s

capability of distributing the country’s resources to those who are extremely in need. It is

undeniable that there are many poor households that will benefit from the said program,

and that the program covers the basic needs that otherwise would go unmet. Likewise, the

government’s effort in making the country’s educational and health services system

inclusive is a huge step towards social mobility and equality. The researchers feel

strongly about the 4Ps’ principle that well-fed and educated citizens are imperative for a

productive country and society. However, it is also undeniable that the 4Ps, as well as the

other CCT programs being implemented in other countries, is not the perfect solution.

There are many insufficiencies that the program might face in the long run of its

implementation. And as a new policy here in the Philippines, the 4Ps will certainly need

further revisions and studies in the future. Nevertheless, the researchers believe that for

any government program to succeed, the government and the citizens must arrive in a

peaceful consensus. The government’s duty is to secure that the people’s needs are

provided and their rights are protected. And the citizens, in return, must use their full

capacity to be productive and help the country. The researchers believe that the

implementation of the 4Ps is a good example of the concurring responsibilities of the

government and the citizens.

 Aside from the implementation mentioned in the previous study, spending of the

cash assistance given to the beneficiaries is other consideration. This made the current

study different from the previous study by Maryjoy Mella, Floren Camille Osido and

Lemarie Suing since the focus of the study is the manner spending the cash assistance of

the 4P’s beneficiaries given by the government.

 CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The researchers propose to use a quantitative and qualitative research design in

which uses a numerical data and study of behavior in collecting the important

information about how do the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries spend the government cash

assistance received from the government. The researchers use survey questionnaires that

is consist of structured questions. The researchers also used likert scale and interview

questions that would be of great help in seeking answers to the said phenomenon. For the

survey questionnaire under qualitative method, we used stratified sampling while the

likert scale and interview questions, we used convinience sampling to determine the

reliability of the answers provided by the respondents.

Research Locale

The study would take place in the selected barangays of Tanauan, Leyte namely:

Barangay Canramos, Barangay San Isidro, Barangay Sto. Nino, Barangay San Roque,

and Barangay Salvador. The other barangays of Tanauan that was not mentioned, have

not been given any attention to investigate the said phenomenon. In addition, some of the

researchers are currently residing in the said barangays of Tanauan, hence, they can

conduct the study efficiently without visiting or going outside the municipality.
Research Respondents

The target respondents of the study were the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries.

Parents who were not considered as a 4P’s grantee, and the 4P’s parents coming from

other barangays that were not mentioned will not be given any attention in this study.

Research Instrument

The researchers used survey questionnaires consisted of structured question and

as well as the likert scale and interview questions for the development of the output.

Validation of Instrument

Before the actual used of likert scale, interview questions and the distributions of

survey questionnaires to the respondents, coming from the selected barangays of

Tanauan, Leyte, the research adviser checked and assured that the letters and survey

questionnaires were free from grammatical errors and misleading questions in gathering

important data about how do the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries spend the cash assistance

they receive from the government.

Data Gathering Procedure

The data for this research were collected using survey questionnaires consisted of

structured questions. With the use also of stratified random sampling, the researchers

were able to pick their respondents in a certain stratum. The researchers personally

managed the distribution of survey questionnaire to the respondents randomly to the

selected barangays of Tanauan, Leyte. The researchers personally assisted the

respondents in answering the questionnaires, especially those who are weak-eyed. The
researchers also used likert scale and interview questions to determine the stand on the

proper spending of the cash assistance. The questionnaires, likert scale and interview

questions that are given to the respondents was constructed using suitable questions that

will surely help in finding answers regarding on how the parents of 4P’s beneficiaries

spend the cash assistance they receive from the government. The respondents answered

the questionnaires voluntarily, and the researchers had retrieved 100% of the survey

questionnaires.

Statistical Treatment of the Data

In the study for the quantitative method, the frequency and percentage distribution

were used in the analysis of data. The data gathered were utilizing descriptive statistics

through simple percentage and ranking. The researchers expressed the interpretation of

the data using percentage with the use of this formula:

f
P= (100)
N

Where:

P – Percentage

f - Frequency

n – Number of the respondents

 CHAPTER IV

The table tells that most of the respondents who are 4P’s beneficiaries are aged

34-above (79.5%). This is followed by the ages of 31-33 (12%), 28-30 (8%) and 25-27

(0.5%).

This is unveiling, that most of the respondents who are 4P’s beneficiaries are at

ages 34-above.

This tells that most of the respondents that are 4P’s beneficiaries are the older

ones, and are the first to avail the program since they already have elementary and high

school students.

The table showed that there is an equal number of respondents (40) in

the selected barangays of Tanauan, Leyte namely: Barangay San Isidro, Barangay Sto

Niño, Barangay Canramos, Barangay Salvador, and Barangay San Roque with a

percentage of 100%

Significantly, the researchers use stratified random sampling to get this

equal numbers of respondents in the said barangays.

This constant number of respondents is enough to represent the overall

number of 4P’s beneficiaries in the Municipality of Tanauan.

TOTAL 200 100%

As showed in the table, 127 out of 200 respondents claimed that they are

housewife where there are about 63.5%, and 24 respondents claimed to have other

occupations such as fishermen, self-employed, a rescue team member and a biller, with

12%. Followed by laundry woman with 17 (8.5%) and 3(1.5%) for the pedicab driver.

This is quite surprising, that majority of the respondents are housewife with a

frequency of 127, followed by other occupations. But dramatically drops at a frequency

of 3 for pedicab driver.

This is being presumed that most of the parents of the 4P’s are housewives, while

others are fishermen, self-employed, rescuer, and a biller.

TOTAL 200 100%

The table showed that out of 200 respondents, 134 (67%) responded that their

monthly income are ranging from P4,000-below, and the one who got the least number of

responses are the P15,000-P19,000 as well as the P20,000-above which garnered the

frequency of 2 (1%).

This is expected since they are a member of 4P’s which is considered as poorest

of the poor.

In accordance with the 4P’s Program, the result only proves that the members are

those low income earners that need assistance from the government.

The table showed that most of the respondents which is 109 (54.5%) from

the total of 200 claimed that they spend an amount of P4,000-below for a month and the

one with the least number is the P15,00- above which only garnered a frequency of 7

(3.5%).

This is quite surprising, that most of the respondents’ monthly expenses are

equal to their monthly income which is P 4,999-below. Wherein the fact that this amount

is not sufficient enough to sustain their monthly needs.

This tells that most of the respondents expenses ranges from P4, 999 and below

which is much higher than their income.

beneficiaries considered that out of 200 respondents, the highest frequency is 94 (47%)

having 3 beneficiaries, and followed by 71 (35.5%) having 2 beneficiary.

Significantly, there are a steady number of respondents that has 3 beneficiaries at

frequency of 94 and a frequency of 71 respondents who claimed to have 2 beneficiaries

in the family. But there are still 34 who claimed to have only one beneficiary.

This study tells that most of the family, the highest number of beneficiaries stood

about in total of 3 children.

children in the family. It shows that most number of respondents other unspecified which

is 146 (73%) and some of the respondents have 3 children with a percentage of 19.5%.

This is unveiling that there are respondents who have more than 3 children in the

family and yet the 4P’s program supports the maximum no. of 3 children.

This only tells that most of the 4P’s beneficiaries with more than 3 children in the

family, find it hard to support their children’s need, especially when it comes to

educational and health issues of their kids. Where in the fact that the main objective of

this program is for educational and health purposes of the beneficiaries.

The table showed the distribution of respondents according to the factors

considered in spending the cash assistance. It shows that most of respondents choose the

educational purposes with 155 (77.5%) followed by the food with 41 (20.5%).

This is expected, for it implies that the most common factors considered in

spending the cash assistance is the educational purposes followed by the food that they

eat while

This tells that most of the respondents considered the factor of educational

purpose since it is the main objective of the program to have their children’s need in

school. However, there are respondents who considered foods since it is also the

objective of the program to have a balance and healthy lifestyle needed by the child.

they get is the budget and supplies for food. Then, 3.5% claimed to have no benefits at

all.

This is quite revealing, that most of the respondents still manages to spend the

cash assistance they received to the monthly allowance of their students, despite of the

factors that often affects their spending of the cash assistance.

This tells that most of the 4P’s beneficiaries spend the cash assistance in monthly

allowance for school, more than anything else.

4-6 months 50 25%

7-9 months 17 8.5%

10-12 months 11 5.5%

TOTAL 200 100%

As showed on table most of the respondents 122 (61%) claimed that they receive

the cash assistance within 1-3 months. This is followed by 50 (25%) claimed that they

receive the cash assistance in 4-6 months.

Significantly, majority of the respondents claimed to be receiving the said cash

assistance within 1-3 months. While some respondents received the cash assistance

within 4-6 months long.

This tells that most of the respondents get their cash assistance every 1-3 months.

It may be presumed that the 4P’s beneficiaries might as well the parent leaders give

priority and attention to those requirements or papers needed for the release of the cash

assistance.

As shown on the table, majority o the respondents (50.5%) claimed that the

shortage of both educational and health / food is observed. While there are still some of

the respondents who claimed that they never experience struggling when it comes to their

expenses, because they have work that helps them sustain their daily needs.

Significantly, the delayed release of the cash assistance causes shortage of both

educational and health/food needs as observed. But somehow some of them are not

affected by the dilation, because they were able to provide their daily needs.
 This tells us that the shortage of both educational and health/food needs is still

observed even if others got their job to help them sustain their daily needs

As presented on table number 12, there are 103 respondents suggest that there

should be an on time release of cash assistance, while there is still 65 respondents who

want to re-access the current 4P’s beneficiaries.

This is revealing that the 4P’s beneficiaries want an on time release of cash

assistance and Re-access the current 4p’s beneficiaries.

This tells us that the 4P’s beneficiaries want an on time release of cash assistance.

But some of the respondents want to Re-access the current 4P’s beneficiaries because

some of the 4P’s beneficiaries are abiding the rules and regulations of the government,

and has an average income that can sustain their needs.

 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter discusses the summary of findings, conclusions drawn based on the

results and recommendation emanating from the result and conclusion of the study.

Summary

In the study, the respondents usually consider some factors in spending the cash

assistance they receive from the government, such as educational purposes in majority,

since it is the main objective of the program. It is important to know their ways on how

do they respond to their daily expenses. Most of them claimed that they are having a

work side-line to sustain their daily needs. Some just suffice their salary or just borrowed

money just to sustain their needs.

With the help of the 4P’s program of the government, there are some benefits that

the respondents claimed to get in spending the cash assistance received. The monthly

allowance for school is the benefits that the respondents mostly get in spending the cash

assistance received, followed by supplies or budget for food.

Conclusion

Therefore, as the study goes further, the researchers find out that even though

there is this factors that needs to consider in spending the assistance given by the

government, there are still aspects that affects the respondents that leads them in spending

the cash assistance to other things, such as supplies or budget for food, and even for their

personal necessities.
Recommendation

Since the delayed of cash assistance result to borrowing of money and leads to

misallocation of the cash grants, most of the respondents suggest that there should be an

on time release and an increase in the amount of cash assistance they received for this

would eliminate the forge or an attempt in borrowing of money.
