ASSESSMENT IN THE LEVEL OF AWARENESS OF PANTAWID PAMILYANG PILIPINO PROGRAM (4P’S) BENEFICIARIES: BASIS FOR AN ORIENTATION PROGRAM

For many years, the Philippines' poverty rate has been consistently high To address this issue, the government has implemented the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s). However, in a random interview conducted, it was found out that some parent-beneficiaries of 4P’s are not aware on the content of the program. The study assessed the level of awareness of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s) beneficiaries of Gordon Heights National High School. A descriptive survey research design was employed in the study The results revealed that most of the respondents were in their middle adulthood stage of life, married, high schools graduates, do not have source of income, having three children with five members of the family, and were already four years as beneficiary of 4P’s. Most of the respondents were not aware in the history, selection and qualification, and conditions of the program. On the other hand, most of the respondents were moderately on the objectives and benefits of 4P’s There is no significant relationship on the respondents’ level of awareness along with the socio-demographic profile Thus, it is recommended that an orientation program can be proposed to be conducted in the school to increase the recipients’ level of awareness on the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program roject PAMILYA must be implemented. Questionnaires may also be translated to Filipino language so that the content will be easily understood by the respondents.

P The DSWD and the Local Government Units should intensify the screening and monitoring process of 4P’s beneficiaries For future researches, the participants may be extended to student-beneficiaries Related
