P600 monthly rice allowance for 4Ps, to be out next month

Members of Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) or the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) will have another reason to rejoice this coming March.

It is because they will be receiving the first tranche of monthly rice subsidy earlier promised by President Rodrigo Duterte.

A P600 pesos per month grant will be given to 4Ps beneficiaries if they will meet the condition set by the program.

The P600 pesos cash grant will be equivalent to 18-20 kilos of rice base on the current pricing of NFA rice.

The rice subsidy is additional help for 4Ps that are already receiving cash grants from the government.

1. The Health Grant - P500 per household every month or a total of P6,000 every year

2. The Educational Grant - P300 per child every month for ten months or a total of P3,000 every year (a household may register a maximum of three children for the program)

For a household with three children, a household may receive P1,400 every month, or a total of P15,000 every year for five years, from the two types of cash grants given to them.

According to 4Ps National Program Manager Leonardo Reynoso, this rice subsidy will be distributed every two months, along with the usual cash benefits.

Reynoso explained that cash grants for January and February will be given this March.

Starting next year, 4.6 million beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) will receive additional cash equivalent to 20 kilos of rice monthly from National Food Authority (NFA).

This is one of the promises of President Rodrigo Duterte in his State of the Nation Address last July.

According to Hope Hervilla, assistant secretary of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), this is a part of an improved Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of Duterte Administration.

The first proposal was 20 kilos of rice per month per family but Senate President Pro-Tempore Franklin Drilon push for the provision of cash subsidies instead of rice supply to the beneficiaries of 4Ps, due to "terrible" system of distributing heavy pack of rice to families.

In line with this, DSWD Secretary Judly Taguiwalo agrees to Drilon's proposal.

The budget for the 20 kilograms of rice per month, at P32.50 per kilo based on the National Food Authority retail price, would approximately translate to an increase of P650 in the monthly stipend of the 4Ps beneficiaries. 

The government has allotted P23.4 billion budget for the rice subsidy program next year.

The 4Ps program was first introduced in Abra province in 2009 by former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and was continued by former President Benigno Aquino III.
