A TOP official of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) said the agency supports the move to institutionalize the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) to ensure continuous benefits for the beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps).
DSWD Regional Director Zenaida Arrevalo said there will be regular funding appropriation by the government for the program once the CCT is institutionalized.
Arrevalo said the CCT at present is just part of the programs of the DSWD with no regular funding appropriation.
She said they support the passage into law of House Bill 4994, which seeks to institutionalize the CCT but is still in the committee level of Congress.
She said they are looking forward that the bill will be enacted into a law so that the CCT will be institutionalized for the benefits of the 4Ps beneficiaries.
Through the program, the beneficiaries receive cash grants based on the requirements set forth by the government.
In the region, Arrevalo said there are 279,000 4Ps beneficiaries majority of which are from Zamboanga City.
