The purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of former Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) student-beneficiaries. The theories guiding this study were Human Capital Theory (1990), Social Capital Theory (1988), and The Concept of Experience by Dewey (1934). The study followed the theory and methods of the phenomenological research model proposed by Giorgi (2009) that allowed informants to provide personal perspectives and reflections on their experiences. The following three research questions guided the study: 1)What are the students’ distinct experiences as former beneficiaries of 4Ps? 2) How would the students describe their lives and values as 4Ps former beneficiaries?and 3) How are these experiences of being a former 4Ps recipient reflected in the co-researchers lives today?Interviews conducted to gather perceptive data from co-researcherswere transcribed, examined, coded, and broken down into themes emerged throughout the research process. The themes identified based on the distinct experiences of students as former beneficiaries of 4Ps were Financial Distress, Psychological Distress, andFinancial Security. Identified themes based on description of lives and values of participants as former 4Ps beneficiaries were Reduced Poverty, Spiritual Growth, and Social Growth. Identified themes based on reflection on the lives of co-researchers from gained experience as a former 4Ps member were Improved Confidence, Motivation, and Improved Academic Performance. The findings of the study may help in improving the 4Ps program and the experiences that will be brought by the said program to the present and future beneficiaries.

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4ps)

Poverty ABSTRACT

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a version of cash transfer program here in the Philippines that aims to eradicate extreme poverty by investing in health and education. This study focused on personal experiences of students as 4Ps beneficiaries and factors that have led to their dropping out from school. A qualitative method was employed utilizing a case study design, where data was gathered from six (6) student dropouts who were 4Ps beneficiaries. Results revealed that most student beneficiaries of the 4Ps are from indigent families, highlighted that factors were due to family living conditions, the desire to help the parents and siblings. Family living conditions, the poor standard of living still is a pressing problem that can led students to drop out from school, even with the availability of financial assistance that still links to poverty as an underlying factor.

1.       INTRODUCTION

Poverty has been one of the major problems and societal concerns in the country. Among various indicators of poverty, Filipinos were found to be most deprived in gaining access to education, the new multidimensional poverty index (MPI) created by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) showed. Poverty is a condition in which people lack the basic things in order to survive such as food, shelter, water, clothes and education (Crossman, 2014).

Dela Torre (2016) noted that most of the problems and difficulties of Filipinos are rooted in poverty. Many families are left deprived of their basic needs and therefore forced their children to stop going to school and help them instead in their livelihood. With this main ground, the Philippine government initiated a program called the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4P’s both to address poverty and in response to the country’s commitment to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a human development measure of the national government that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor, to improve the health, nutrition, and the education of children aged 0-18. It is patterned after the conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in Latin American and African countries, which have lifted millions of people around the world from poverty . 4Ps is a version of cash transfer program here in the Philippines under the Department of Social Welfare and Development, its aim is to eradicate extreme poverty in the Philippines by investing in health and education particularly to children from 0-18 years old ( Montilla , et.al, 2015).  

Children of the 4Ps beneficiaries are referred to Commission on Higher Education (CHED) which is also DSWD’s partner in the project along with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the implementing state universities and colleges (SUCs). Under the said program, it ensures that the grantees are enrolled in selected SUCs duly recognized by CHED, channeled to CHED priority courses, and be extended the needed support that will guarantee completion of studies, thus qualify them for high-value added jobs in the future. ( Junio, 2014 ) . In partnership with the Commission on Higher Education, the Department of Labor and Employment, and the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges, 4Ps has enrolled 36,003 beneficiaries in state universities and colleges as of June 2015 (officialgazette.gov.ph). The program has strict compliance when it comes to the school attendance of the students who are beneficiaries because it is their basis in giving the cash transfer. It is therefore expected for the beneficiaries to attend school regularly or at least 85% of the school days. There are studies that shows how the 4Ps program affects the school attendance and the performance of the student.

Northern Samar as one of the poorest provinces in the country is a beneficiary of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) covering 44,928 households, out of which 79,607 are children beneficiaries for educational grants in all school levels in 24 municipalities (Diaz, 2018). Most college student 4Ps beneficiaries are enrolled in the University of Eastern Philippines campuses. About 50% of the student population are 4Ps grantees, receiving monthly stipend and necessary support for school-related activities and these students were the priority beneficiaries of the Tertiary Education Subsidy (TES). Enrollment was seen to increase with the 4Ps implementation, but while enrollment and school facilities are increasing, some children remain out of school and there are still many cases of drop-outs.

With the cases of students dropping out from school despite the support given, at a closer look, there can be underlying reasons for such. To address this gap, this study aims to explore and describe these underlying factors that have led to their dropping out from school.

2.       METHODOLOGY

This study is anchored on the pull-out theories of student dropping, which associate the student’s decision to leave school with factors such as: early marriage, having a baby, financial issues, the need to get employed in order to support their family. The pull-out theories assume the fact that students underlie the decision to stay in school or not on a cost – benefit analysis [ McNEal , 1997; Mihalic & Elliott, 1997]. These theories consider the individual in a contextual way, in which school is an important part of his life, along with his family, colleagues, church and other organizations. A job or the family responsibilities, for instance, are able to get the student out of school.

On the other hand, this study is also anchored on the push-out theories which consider that the school is to blame for the dropout because it discourages students regarding continuing studies using as argument their personality traits. Internal institutional factors, such as the behavioral policies or the conflicts between students or teachers, may push the students outside the school. The pushout theoreticians claim that the students leave school not due to their individual attributes but because of the school structure [Fine, 1991]. Jordan, Lara and McPartland (1996) define the push effects as school related factors with negative impact upon the bond that teenagers achieve with the school environment and makes them reject the school context. These factors may be structural, contextual, climate related or individualized and may determine some students to consider school as an unwelcoming place [Stearns & Glennie, 2006].

2.1. RESEARCH DESIGN

This study employed a qualitative design which follows a systematic subjective approach to capture relevant data. A case study research will allow the researchers to focus on a specific area or situation for an in-depth analysis ( Heigham , et.al., 2009). Case study research is said to allow for in-depth review of new or unclear phenomena while retaining the holistic and meaningful characteristics of real-life events (Hartley, 2004). This design is employed in this study, as this aims to explore and describe personal experiences of students as 4Ps beneficiaries and factors that have led to their dropping out from school.

2.2. RESEARCH PROCEDURE

The researcher employed purposive sampling in order to collect relevant data from the participants. Chosen participants were students who dropped out from school who were 4Ps beneficiaries, selected from the previous semester records. The researcher selected ten (10) student dropouts, but was able to reach only six (6) of them and the researcher also conducted an interview with the six (6) chosen participants who were found in their respective homes and the interview was personally administered by the researcher. First, they were invited to be part of the study and were informed of its nature, their rights and were ensured of the confidentiality of their responses. The participants personally consented to the interview.

2.3. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

An interview guide was utilized in this study. It consisted of preparatory questions which established rapport between the interviewer and the interviewee. The participant was asked of questions about the time they have been in school and their being 4Ps grantees, which further led to questions about factors that cause their dropping out from school.

A transcript was produced from the interview sessions that served as sources of data in coming up with codes and themes that helped the researcher synthesize answers to the research questions.

2.4. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS

The information that were used in this research were the individual views of participants on the issues related to the subject. Hence, in the interest of future predicaments that may arose based on the impressions of the readers, the identities of the participants were not divulged in this study. The researcher reserved the right to protect the participants and the confidentiality of their responses in general.

2.5. DATA ANALYSIS

Data from the interview were transcribed and analyzed through thematic analysis. Thematic analysis is the process of identifying patterns or themes within qualitative data (Braun & Clarke (2006). The goal of a thematic analysis is to identify themes, i.e. patterns in the data that are important or interesting, and use these themes to address the research or say something about an issue. This is much more than simply summarizing the data; a good thematic analysis interprets and makes sense of it (Clarke & Braun, 2013).

3.       RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Information gathered from the respondents through in-depth interview was processed through its methodology to gather reliable results and validation of the questions in terms of clarity, understandability, and appropriateness (Creswell, 2013). The following presentations are the results and discussions that came out of the analysis.

Theme 1: ‘4ps helped students in many ways.’

Participants claimed that the program was a big help to them in their stay in school. “I was so thankful I was chosen that time as a grantee of the financial assistance, more that my parents really can’t send me to school” ( Nagpasalamat gud ak sadto nga nahiapi ak , kay sugad ko maka iskwela na ak , kay dire man gud kaya san ak mga kag-anak ) , P1 said. “Yes, it was really helpful”, P2 added.

Responses of the participants highlighted that the program was beneficial to students. “We receive monthly stipend, although sometimes it does not arrive on time, but it was really a big help” P3 said. “I use the assistance for my school needs, but most of the time, I give it to my parents and they spend it for some of our basic needs, it really helped me a lot as a student and my family as well.”

The participants responded mostly positive things about the program. The financial assistance was able to help them with their daily needs in school, pay their school contributions, for their daily fare and school projects. Throughout the interview, it was noted that participants do have positive views of the effects of 4Ps to their education and that they see it helpful.

Theme 2: ‘Students need more to sustain interest for schooling.’

Despite the positive remarks of the participants about the program, their responses eventually led to several factors why despite the financial support given, they quit school and decided not to continue. It may sound unusual why despite the support extended by the government, still students cannot sustain their schooling, when the financial burden has been lifted.

      “ I dropped because I don’t feel going to school at all. Yes, there is 4Ps, but I have to help my parents work for our daily needs. Practically, I have to work ,” a participant exclaimed. “ My parents said I have to go to school, but for me, I find it impractical when I see my younger siblings need my help,” another participant said . “I lose interest, just that I felt there is no sense going to school when I can earn working in the field. 4Ps can pay my tuition and school needs, but I eat daily, we have other needs.”

      Most of the participants were from indigent families, with parents who earn lower than the minimal income. Responses highlighted that the financial assistance really was not enough to motivate them to continue schooling.

Theme 3: ‘Staying in school is a choice that may be affected by related factors.’

‘I would like to stay. I would like to finish college, but I need to help my parents .” This response clearly distinguishes one’s choice of quitting from school than stay. “Our living condition, my parents need me, my younger siblings have to go to school, so I decided to quit school and work. This way I can help them,” a participant said.

“It was my choice to drop from school. I have to help my parents,” another participant added. Most of the participants mentioned family reasons related to their living conditions as the pressing factor that cause them to drop from school. Related factors like the need to help their parents and their younger siblings were highlighted in their responses.

The pull-out theories of student dropping associates student’s decision to leave school with factors such as: early marriage, having a baby, financial issues, and the need to get employed in order to support their family. The pull-out theories assume the fact that students underlie the decision to stay in school or not on a cost – benefit analysis. From the participants, their responses were along this area. Considering that most student beneficiaries of the 4Ps are from indigent families, they still have needs that pressed them to quit from school despite the financial assistance provided.

It was quite clear that factors do not incline to the push-out theory which consider that the school is to blame for the dropout because it discourages students regarding continuing studies using as argument their personality traits. The interview with the six (6) student dropouts highlighted that factors were due to family living conditions, the desire to help the parents and siblings. Despite the fact that there was the financial assistance, participants weighed the benefit of dropping out from school and work to help their parents. In reality, cases like these cannot be avoided especially that there are other needs that seem much more important than staying in school.

Poverty and dropouts are inextricably connected in the three primary settings affecting healthy child and adolescent development: families, schools and communities. In 2009, poor students were five times more likely to drop out of high school than high-income students (Chapman, Laird, Ifill, & KewalRamani , 2011).

4.       CONCLUSION

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is beneficial to students, however there are cases that students may find dropping out from school an option better than staying. Surviving school is not an option for students who chose to quit school and find it more practical. Family living conditions, the poor standard of living still is a pressing problem that can led students to drop out from school, even with the availability of financial assistance that still links to poverty as an underlying factor.

INTRODUCTION

The conditional cash transfer (CCT) program locally known as (PantawidPamilya Pilipino Program), or 4Ps, is a government program that provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor in the Philippines. The programs aim to break the cycle of poverty by keeping children aged 0-18 healthy and in school, so they can have a better future.

There are many factors, which account for the good or poor academic performance in secondary schools like; the quality of students admitted the type of scholastic materials available in the school and home environment, the methods of teaching, the nature of administration and teachers involved in academic matters.

However, it seems that the most important factor to be considered in the academic performance of students is being a 4P's member. In fact, there is no recent study conducted in ETTMNHS about the effects of 4P's to the academic performance of selected senior high students so, the study is novel.

The researchers chose this topic for research to find out the benefits of 4P's to the academic performance of selected senior high students of the said school

The researchers used Descriptive Research Design. The Grade 11 and 12 4P's benefactors are a sample of this study with 14 sections of Grade 11 and 5 sections of Grade 12. The instrument used in this research was the questionnaire. The data were collected, tabulated and interpreted using the mean and standard deviation.

Majority of the senior high school students agree that 4P's motivates themselves in going to school, pushes them to perform well in the academic activities that would lead them into the top of their class, helps them to submit all of the school requirements, provides financial assistance to buy their needs.

DISCUSSIONS

It is evident from the result that 4P's has a good benefit for the public school students who want to study hard to rich their dreams in life. This research would also give good realizations about the importance of financial assistance for the poor who cannot afford to send themselves into the academe.

This study intends to investigate the extent and contributing factors of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) implementation in Basic Education of Public Junior High School Students in Tandag City Division which was government-aided beneficiaries. This research study was evaluated through descriptive-survey and secondary data analysis. It covers the five Public Junior High Schools of Tandag City Division with 436 total numbers of respondents. The researcher made use of the universal and purposive sampling procedure. A researcher-made questionnaire was used in the study and at the same time adapted from the study of Dr. Analiza G. Doloricon entitled: A Meta-Analysis of 4Ps in the Division of Surigao Del Sur. The usual occupation and daily work of most 4Ps parents are farming, thus, parents can still allocate budget for food and school supplies from the cash grants although Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) is not enough for recipients with big family members that leads them to paw...

This study measured and evaluated the effect of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) on the academic performance of the student-beneficiaries of Calaba National High School, Calaba, San Isidro, Nueva Ecija in the Philippines. Survey questionnaires were distributed to ninety five 4Ps student beneficiaries who were purposively selected based on the following criteria: 4Ps beneficiary, enrolled in Calaba National High School at the time of data gathering, and willingness to participate in the study. Analysis of all collected data revealed the significant effect of the program to the performance of student beneficiaries especially in motivating students to attend classes. The result also supports Vroom’s Expectancy Theory which assumes that the students’ efforts, performance, and behavior are influenced by the importance they place on the desired outcome. In this case, to satisfy the conditionalities and remain eligible for the cash grant which have positive effect on the socio-eco...

The aim of this study is to analyze whether the 4Ps beneficiaries of the country’s capital city experience the same as those of in the provinces, and that if the program’s impact is significant for the lives of student-beneficiaries. The researchers used quantitative methods and the correlational research design in conducting the study. The researchers used the census method instead of a sampling method, as it was deemed more effective in order to ensure accuracy in the outcomes of the study. 53 parents in household-beneficiaries in Brgy. 211 Zone 19, City of Manila were interviewed by the researchers. Pearson product-moment correlation was used to test the relationship of the 4Ps grants and conditions and the well-being of the elementary school student-beneficiaries in the area. It turned out that there was a weak but positive correlation between the two variables, and the relationship was not statistically significant. The researchers (1) urge the parents in benefiting households to fully utilize the grants of the 4Ps, (2) suggest to the DSWD and other government entities concerned to monitor the efficiency, effectivity, and even the sustainability of the 4Ps, and (3) recommend to the future researchers that the number of respondent-families be increased, as the number of respondent-families may be a factor in the consistency of results.

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) of the Philippine government was implemented by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). It was designed to aid poor households with short-term consumption needs while promoting investment in the education and health of their children to help break the inter-generational transmission of poverty in the country. This study employed a descriptive research design to determine the present socioeconomic conditions of the householdbeneficiaries of 4Ps in Bagacay, Daram, Samar, Philippines. The household-beneficiaries belonged to lowincome families whose highest educational attainment of the majority of their members was elementary level only, and fishing was a main source of their income. More household-beneficiaries had two children each covered by the program. They still experienced deficiency with their daily basic needs such as foods, water, clothing, and other family expenditures. Many of them procured only those affordable televisions, electric fans, bulbs or fluorescents, and cell phones. They had no ownership and assurance in their housing and land used. Most of their houses were not concrete, since they could not afford to purchase materials for house construction. Not all household-beneficiaries constructed toilets, and some of those with toilets were not ideal. Other household-beneficiaries were cultivating agricultural lands which were not their own. More parents constantly monitored their children's attendance, and progresses in school. They actively participated in the school activities.

The study's objective was to determine the degree to which the 4Ps conditional cash awards were implemented and how it related to the academic achievement of the Junior High School student-beneficiaries in the South 2 District of the Division of Gingoog City this School Year 2022-20223. Specifically, this paper focuses on the demographic profile of 4Ps student-beneficiaries, the extent of implementation of the 4Ps cash grant, and the degree of academic achievement among 4Ps student recipients the extent of the 4Ps cash grants implementation in connection to academic achievement and to determine which demographic profile, singly or in combination, affects their academic performance. The primary technique employed to gather data for this study was a survey questionnaire checklist. The following terms were used: mean, standard deviation, Pearson Correlation Coefficient (r), and linear regression. The findings showed that the sex distribution is almost equal, mostly Grade 10 with 4-6 range family members, and received cash grants. Students agree that their financial assistance has been implemented. The academic performance showed Satisfactory. The academic achievement of the student beneficiary is significantly correlated with education. Nevertheless, it was found that health and nutrition services are not significantly correlated with students' academic achievement. Instead, cash grants emerged as the strongest predictor of students' academic achievement. It is then recommended that schools and parents work together to encourage beneficiaries of the 4Ps program to value education.

Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)

thesis 4ps

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), launched in 2008 and institutionalized in 2019 by Republic Act No. 11310 or the 4Ps Act, is the national poverty reduction strategy and human capital investment program that provides conditional cash transfer to poor households for a maximum period of seven (7) years, to improve health, nutrition and education.
