    The document discusses Republic Act 11310, also known as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4P's law. This program aims to reduce poverty through conditional cash grants for poor households' health, education, and nutrition. To qualify, households must live in poor municipalities and have an economic condition below the poverty line, with children aged 0-18 or a pregnant woman. The cash grants provide P500/month for health and P300/month per child for 10 months of education. As of March 2019, over 4.8 million households in 80 provinces benefit from the program.

    Reflection Paper on Republic Act 11310 or
    Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program Law

    This reflection paper is about the Republic Act 11310 or Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
    Program Law which is also known as the 4P’s. This program is meant to reduce national poverty
    in terms of health, education and nutrition. The initiative will be implemented by providing
    conditional cash grants for the poor. The who’s and where’s of this program are selected by the
    National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR). To be able to be part
    of this program the following must be met: They must be residents of the poorest municipalities
    determined by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB). Economic condition of the
    said households are equal to or below the provincial poverty standard and have children aged 0-
    18 and/or a pregnant woman. They must also agree with the terms and conditions of the program.

    The cash grants will be implemented through 2 types, health and education grants. For
    Health grants, households will be given P500 per month which totals to P6000 per year.
    Meanwhile for the education grants, each child will be given P300 per month for 10 months
    which would total to P3000 a year. 1 household may only register a total of 3 children for the
    said program. As of March 2019, the 4P’s program is conducted in 144 cities and 1483
    municipalities in 80 provinces that helped 4,876,394 households in total since it was started in
    2008.

    As a student and also as a citizen of the Philippines, I think this program is very helpful
    for the lower-class people who are living in this country. The money given is a big help for them
    and can be a great start towards pulling their family out of poverty. The education grant can mold
    the younger members of the marginalized population by giving them the tools they need to be
    able to go to school and have a proper education. This in return would help these people get
    decent jobs that would raise their financial status and alleviate themselves from poverty. I also
    think that health grants also come in handy, because how would these people ease themselves
    from their hardships if they are drawn back by diseases and sickness. Investing in the future
    generations is the right choice because they will be the next in line. I believe that the next
    generations can be able to turn our country’s state around if they are guided accordingly.

    Given that the program is very helpful, I still think that monetary support is not enough.
    People part of these programs should be given guidance by counselors so that they would be able
    to utilize the tools that have been given to them. It would be useless to give them educational
    grants if they would not have the motivation and drive to go to school and fulfill their studies.
    The government should also create and improve access to jobs so that these people can have a
    stable financial source, that eventually they wouldn’t need this grant anymore. This eventually in
    return ,would be able to help more poverty-ridden citizens and reduce poverty altogether. I also
    hope that future politicians would be more selfless and think of other programs like the 4P’s that
    would lessen the people under the poverty line. With this being said ,we can’t rely solely on the
    government. We, ourselves have to take measures that would be able to help the handicapped
    members of our society.
