The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a human development measure of the national government that
provides conditional cash grants to the poorest of the poor, to improve the health, nutrition, and the education of children
aged 0-18. It is patterned after the conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in Latin American and African countries,
which have lifted millions of people around the world from poverty.
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is the lead government agency of the 4Ps.
Only the following types of projects can be supported with such assistance:
Social community projects, such as repair, maintenance, and/or improvement of common public facilities and
infrastructure such as schools and health centers, debris clearing, de-clogging of canals, debris segregation and materials
recovery, stockpiling and clearing
Economic community projects like repair, maintenance and/or rehabilitation of farm-to-market roads, bridges, post-
harvest facilities, public markets and common service facilities such as production and display centers, fishports
Agro-forestry community projects, such as tree planting, seedling preparation, and reforestation

basic orientation on safety and health;

Training for Work Scholarship Program (TWSP).
Liquidation by the ACP of the fund assistance released and submission of necessary reports and supporting documents
must be undertaken within 60 days upon completion of the project.

Goal #5. Improve maternal health
Families insured by PhilHealth can receive affordable treatment at any accredited hospital or health clinic, which
are reimbursed by the insurance program.
Goal #6. Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and
other diseases
In 2015, only 35% of 15 to 24 year-old MSM and TGW had correct knowledge
on HIV transmission and prevention. This is indicative of the need to step up
HIV information efforts in eliciting behavioral change among people at risk of
infection. The Department of Health is providing antiretroviral (ARV) medicine
for free to anyone who tests positive for HIV, as well as other out-patient
services to a maximum of PHP 30,000 ($US 600) a year per person. Between
2013 and 2015, the government increased funding for the HIV program, and
now shoulders 70% of all financing for its response.
HIV/AIDS infection in the Philippines might be low but growing fast. The
Philippines has one of the lowest rates of infection, yet has one of the fastest
growing number of cases worldwide.[1] The Philippines is one of seven
countries with growth in number of cases of over 25%, from 2001 to 2009.[1]
Cases are concentrated among men who have sex with men. HIV cases among men
having sex with men multiplied over 10 times since 2010.[3] On December 20,
2018, Republic Act No. 11166,[5] also known as the Philippine HIV and AIDS
Policy Act of 2018, was passed.

Goal #8. Develop a global partnership for development
The $24-billion investment and credit line pledges that the Philippine government secured from China earlier this week
were a display of “greater confidence” in the future economic relationship of the two countries, according to Trade
Secretary Ramon Lopez.
In a text message to reporters, Lopez said that the renewed friendships in this part of the world have opened huge
opportunities for Philippines’ trade and investment in China and Asean market of over 1.9 billion people.
The deals secured during President Duterte’s state visit to China are expected to boost the trade and investment levels
between the two countries, he added.
Lopez disclosed that the $15 billion worth of investment projects signed were as follows:
1 Subic-Clark railway project by Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) and China Harbour
Engineering Co.
