Abstract

This study assesses the effectiveness of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) and its impact on the socio-economic status of beneficiaries in selected municipalities of Nueva Ecija, Philippines. A mixed methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies within a triangulation design. The study involved 340 respondents from four municipalities of varying income classes. Data were gathered through survey questionnaires, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency distribution, ranking, weighted mean, and One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), while qualitative data were analyzed using in vivo coding and thematic analysis. The results reveal differing levels of program effectiveness across the municipalities and significant impacts on the socio-economic status of beneficiaries.The findings suggest that while the 4Ps program has positively impacted the socio-economic conditions of beneficiaries, there is a need to refine its implementation strategies to ensure more uniform benefits across different municipalities. Enhancements to the 4Ps program's implementation could further improve its effectiveness in poverty alleviation across various municipalities in the Philippines.
