Statement of the problem
The Philippines has been battling against poverty for over several years now. The problem with poverty was inherited by every president, the highest ranking official of the republic. Because poverty continues to worsen every now and then, the leaders of the country have their own strategies and policy adaptations to combat this serious issue.
The latest campaign against poverty applied in some countries in the world is the Conditional Cash Transfer program (CCT). South American countries like Brazil, Colombia and Mexico had already applied this latest approach. At present, these countries still use the CCT program.
In the Philippines, at present, the CCT program is adopted and applied. It has been named as Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps). It is important to conduct a study about this project which has the objective to gradually reduce the rate of poverty in the country through investing in human capital, developing the people themselves. An evaluation or analysis about this project is necessary to clearly see its impact on poverty, especially to the beneficiaries of the program.
This research will try to find an answer to the following questions: 1. Will the program meet its objectives to increase the enrolment rate among children and the rate of families consulting health centers and clinics for check-ups? 2. Does the project fund go reach its beneficiaries in the right time and place?
3. Do the beneficiaries comply with the conditions stated in the program? 4. Can this project be the long-term solution to eradicate poverty? The city of Manila will be the main focus of this research. The reasons why Manila has been chosen to be
