After cross-matching 4Ps recipients and the Listahanan 2 in five regions, the Commission on Audit finds a 60% discrepancy
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Audit flagged the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s process of selecting beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program in five regions, as majority of the beneficiaries did not come from the country’s national targeting system for the poorest families.
The Listahanan, officially known as the National Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction, is the DSWD’s database that determines who and where the poorest families in the country are, for purposes of targeting in anti-poverty programs. The COA cross-matched 4Ps recipients and the Listahanan 2 in the five regions, and found that most were not in the poverty database.
The COA said that the inclusion of 4Ps beneficiaries who are not in the Listahanan is contrary to Republic Act No. 11310, or the 4Ps law.
