4Ps parent beneficiaries are considered young and belong to the low income families. They also
lack education and income generating activities. The 4Ps parent beneficiaries strictly adhere to
the goals and objectives of the program as well as to the conditions in the cash transfer and
utilization. The 4Ps parent beneficiaries encountered problems in the implementation of the

programs which will reinforce and fortify livelihood skills and trainings to the 4Ps parent
beneficiaries. Education and Literacy Program should be implemented to the 4Ps beneficiaries
which envision to educate the adult members of the 4Ps especially those members who did not

about the current status of the program and be able to acquaint themselves in the progress of
the program whether it achieves the objectives of the program.
