Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program 4Ps: A Profiling System

The Philippines has a great amount of its people living under the poverty line which is 16% of the population. Most of the people try to find a living using agricultural means but due to some inequality and corruption in the country, most Filipinos have a hard time buying necessities for their daily lives. With this, the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program was initiated by the DSWD to help alleviate the numbers of Filipinos living under the poverty line by complying with the necessary requirements. However, some Filipinos benefit from the program without complying the requirements at all. The researchers then suggested to create a website to help track the status of each beneficiary and see if they are complying with the requirements set by the DSWD to obtain the conditional cash grants. For the monitoring, the system will identify the beneficiaries whether they are progressing through the program and receiving the cash grants. The aim of the website is to enhance the 4Ps program in reducing the number of ghost beneficiaries and to enable the DSWD to efficiently monitor their beneficiaries.
