The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program(4Ps) is not the way to solve the massive porverty in the country. This is another dole-out program of the government which has no lasting effect on the ills of society. The government can give out 4Ps for ages but it won't improve the people's lives as long as the root causes of poverty and inequity remains unanswered.
Catriona's take on 4Ps is spot on
Handouts of cash won't solve their problems, instead train them for a long time job and look at the roots causes of their problems, only a lasting solution can happen. Dole-out encourages laziness and forever they will remain at the mercy of the ruling administration.
I know this program has been going on since past administration, but current administration is strengthening it and using other dole-out programs of the Social Welfare Department with administration's related party list prominently brandishing its name, Tingog, even though the programs are existent programs of DSWD. The way they're bringing it down to the poor masses is as if it's their programs. And the innocent poor folks think it's because Tingog is doing these for them. All these are Imeldific ways to approach the widespread poverty and unemployment in the country.
