Over a hundred parent-graduates of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Las Navas, Northern Samar are now undergoing orientations to guide them in their transition from cash grant recipients to community leaders.
Jhon Allen Berbon, head of the Provincial Economic Development and Investment Promotions Office (PEDIPO), on Monday said they held a pre-assessment seminar for exiting 4Ps parent-leaders in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on August 22.
Berbon said the gathering was more than an evaluation exercise, as it became an opportunity for parent-leaders to envision the roles they would continue to play in their families and communities once they exit the 4Ps program.
"As part of the seminar, PEDIPO introduced its programs and services designed to help parent-leaders in their transition from capacity-building and livelihood development to economic empowerment initiatives. These interventions aim to ensure that graduating families continue to find pathways toward sustainable income, resilience, and greater self-reliance," Berbon told local media.
"This measure will help families move beyond dependency on grants and toward self-reliance, employability, and long-term resilience," he added.
