What is the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program?
• Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program that provides cash grants to poor households with children 0-14 years old and/or pregnant mothers, provided that they comply with the conditions set by the program
• Objectives: social assistance- provides conditional cash assistance to the poor to alleviate their immediate needs (short term poverty alleviation); and social development- aims to break the intergenerational poverty cycle through investments in human capital.

A household may qualify for Pantawid Pamilya as a beneficiary if it satisfies two (2) criteria:
1.) At the time of the survey, the household must be classified as poor, based on the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS-PR) and
2.) Have a pregnant woman and/or children 0-14 years old as household member(s).

Both conditions are meant to improve the poor household’s economic prospects to help them move out of poverty.
