Espejo reiterated that the program is not a “dole-out” as the beneficiaries need to comply with its conditions to qualify for the grants.
These are provided for Republic Act 11310, which institutionalized the 4Ps and provided for the additional subsidies, he said.
Espejo said all eligible children should be in school, mothers should get proper pre and post-natal care, children aged five years old and below should have regular preventive checkups while those aged 14 and below should undergo deworming.
The beneficiaries are also required to attend the monthly family development sessions in their communities, he said.
Espejo added that they have been conducting regular assessments of their database and the status of the beneficiaries to ensure that it will only cover those who are really qualified.||| |||buy priligy online with |||
