TOLOSA, Leyte- DSWD Field Office VIII Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) staff are oriented on the process of recertifying program household beneficiaries and the use of the Recertification Tool to identify those who are possible candidates for transition or for exit, to ascertain whether they are worthy to be transitioned or removed from the program, and to recommend and facilitate the approval of change in client status to “Transition” and “Graduate”.

Policy and Plans Division Chief Yvonne Serrano-Abonales encouraged the program staff to work together amidst the huge challenge of transitioning households who are gender responsive, culturally competent, socially adept, and with improved level of well-being.

4Ps Regional Program Coordinator Paula Unay shared that the program continues to be subject to review and further enhancements, especially in ensuring that households included are indeed eligible and qualified based on their needs and poverty levels. #DSWDMayMalasakit
