The Researchers

ABSTRACT
 As Tambulignons, it is the desire of the researchers to gain
insight on the economic status of the 4P’s beneficiaries in
Calolot, Tambulig, Zamboanga del Sur before and after the
implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program.

The main concern of this study is to compare the economic

status before and after the implementation of the said program on
the thirty (30) beneficiaries of Brgy. Calolot, Tambulig,
Zamboanga del Sur. The information was gathered from March 03 to
March 04, 2011 and the interpretation of data and organization of
the manuscript were done until May 30, 2011.

Specifically, it endeavors to answer the following

questions:

1. What are the effects of 4P’s implementation to the

selected beneficiaries of Brgy. Calolot?
2. Is there any improvement on their economic status after
the implementation?
3. Does the 4P’s Program eradicate the poverty experienced
by the respondents?

The hypothesis which guided the researchers in this

investigation are:

1. The Calolot 4P’s beneficiaries improve their way of

living.
2. They can purchase immediately their basic needs.
3. Vices are eliminated.
 To achieve the purpose of this investigation, the
descriptive survey method was used. To gather the data,
questionnaire was employed.

In analyzing the data, the frequency counts, percentages and

ranks were used. The percentage was used to determine the
improvement of the economic condition after the implementation of
4P’s.

An analysis of the tabulated data revealed that majority of

the respondents had attained great improvements after the
implementation of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4P’s).
Their economic condition got even better as well as their usual
way of living. From the findings the following conclusions were
drawn.

* Many respondents had minimized experiencing rice shortage.

Children were taking supplementary vitamins. Eating meals thrice
a day became more consistent and preparing meat viands twice a
week were achieved by ?????? of the respondents.

* More children were sent to attend formal education. Almost

all of the respondents were able to pay school fees on time;
school supplies for their children had been provided as well as
school uniforms and other school needs. Children attended school
regularly and had increased their attendance as they always have
an allowance in going to school.

* In clothing, children of the respondents were provided

descent clothes to wear as well as foot wears.
 * Beneficiaries do not merely depend on the benefits from
the 4P’s so they still work to raise income for the family and
some cling to their usual work or occupation and some change
their usual work after the 4P’s.

* Money quarrel had also been minimized by the couples as

well as money shortage. Vices such as gambling were also
controlled as well as drinking of alcoholic beverages.

INTRODUCTION

This chapter presents the background of the study, statement

of the problem, significance of the study, hypothesis, scope and
limitations of the study, and definition of terms.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Knowing the economic condition of the beneficiaries before

the program could determine how much improvements were achieved
by the respondents as the 4P’s come into their lives. Thru
looking in the comparison of the economic status of the
beneficiaries in two separate times, progress therefore could be
specified and directly measured in terms of the changes the
beneficiaries have achieved after the effect of the program.

The real scenarios before the coming of the program in the

world of the poor beneficiaries was really a tragedy in the first
glimpse but for them those scenes were just very ordinary as they
appear in a daily basis. Feeling the pitiful conditions of most
Filipinos who belonged to the poorest of the poor life state was
a great pinch to the heart of an observer. By looking on the
factual evidences, prior to the implementation of 4P’s one could
then realized how much progress was obtained and how much had
been contributed by the program to the intended beneficiaries.
The quality of life and living of every Filipino citizen within
the poorest economic state suggest that these must be an action
of the government to at least ease the extreme difficulty they
have felt. 4P’s is one of the innovations of the current
administration to fight the high rate of poverty in the country
today, an initiative that is hoped to eradicate extreme poverty
in the Philippines.

To determine how far and how much good wave the program had
brought to the intended beneficiaries, there must be a review on
the previous condition of the members to connect with the current
condition they have with the effect of the 4P’s. Despite of the
controversies the program is facing nowadays, having a clear
insight on the previous economic conditions of the beneficiaries
is a need to justify the effectiveness of the program in battling
poverty in the country.

Specifically, the program aims to achieve the following goal

and objectives:

a. To promote human capital development among poor

families, especially children, to break the
intergenerational cycle of poverty.
b. To improve the health condition of children age 0-14
years old.
c. To improve the maternal health of pregnant and lactating
mothers.
d. To raise consumption of nutrient dense foods among poor
households;
e. To increase enrolment of children in elementary/ high
school.

understand that their answering of the questions would not, in
any way, affect or prejudice them. They were assured that the
information they reveal will be kept confidential, and if they

used. The percentage was used to determine the improvement of the
economic condition after the implementation of 4P’s on the
respondents.

P = x
n

where
 x = the number of respondents who answered the
category.

N = total number of respondents
