This chapter summarizes the findings, conclusions, and recommendations from a study about beneficiary satisfaction with the 4P's (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) in Barangay La Fortuna, Sitio Intavas, Impasugong, Bukidnon. The study found that most beneficiaries were satisfied with health assistance like medicines and vitamins from the community health center. However, many beneficiaries did not have health insurance and could not access hospital services. While the 4P's increased school attendance rates, it had no impact on older children aged 13-17.

Results, Conclusion and Recommendations

This chapter presents the summary and findings, conclusion and

recommendations of this study.

The study tried to find out the satisfaction of the beneficiaries on the 4Ps
(Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program). Of the residence of Barangay La Fortuna,
sitio Intavas. Impasugong, Bukidnon in terms of education and health
assistance.

The participants were the beneficiaries of the said program. The study utilized
the qualitative descriptive approach. Triangulation was done where the (15)
purposively selected participants was interviewed and made to answer the
questionnaire/checklist.

In the study of Reyes and Mina (2011) , found out that the program led to an
increase of 3 to 4.6 percentage points in the school participation rate of children
aged 6-14. The results showed that around 96.3 percents of children 4Ps
families attend school. For the matched non-4Ps families, the rate ranges from
91.7 to 93.3 percent.

However, the program was found to have no impact on increasing

enrolment among the older cohort of children aged 13-17. The majority of
children aged 15-17 were not receiving 4Ps grants as of 2011 since the age limit
for coverage is 14 years old. The authors attribute this larger cost associated
with sending older children to school and the higher opportunity cost because
they can get employed instead.
Frame 2 shows the satisfaction of the 4Ps program in terms to their Health
Assistance. The results shows that most of the participants were benefitted on
the said program. They were given medicine and vitamins from the health center
of the community.

However it was found that most beneficiaries do not have an insurance for
health in line of 4Ps. The participants only have Phil health card; that was
given by the government to needy people. But not all have Phil Health
insurance and if the members of the family get sick, they cannot avail of
hospital services.

Frame 2 Selected participants satisfaction of 4Ps program in terms in Health

Assistance.

Participants 1(35) muhatag man sila ug tambal kada bulan didto man mi mag
kuha sa center.

(They give medicine every month, and we get it from the center.)

Participants 2 (43) gatagaan man pod mi ug klase2x nga tambal og libre pod
mi mag pa bacuna sa center.

(We are given different kinds of medicine and there is the

vaccination/immunization in the center).

Participants 3 (45) ga hatag pod sila ug vitamins para sa mga bata ug uban
mga bata mga malnourish.

(They also give vitamins for the children and to children who are
malnourished).

Participants 4 (49) wala man mi health assistance madawatan pananglitan

kanang naay ma admit sa among pamilya kana rang philhealth among ipakita.

(We dont have health assistance, except when there is a member who will be
admitted in the hospital, we will just show the Phil health card).
There is however remarkable increase in the use of health services by
pregnant women and children compared to 2007 and there has also been
significant increase in the vaccination rate as well as a decrease in prevalence of
malnutrition among children. The Oportunidades (formerly knowns as Progresa).

Started in rural communities, targeting extremely poor households. It later

expanded to cover extremely poor in urban areas. Colombia also targeted
extremely poor households in selected communities (Santiago, 2010) cited that
initial study on the pilot areas of the program showed promising results.

Problem 2 will now be answered.

Despite the benefits enjoyed by the 4Ps in intavas, the beneficiaries still
encountered challenges. In terms of Educational Assistance, the beneficiaries do
not receive the financial assistance on time. As a result they go to shark loans
and when the money arrives it is not enough to pay the interest.

Another challenge that the beneficiaries face is how the money is used.
Some of the beneficiaries do not spend it for the school needs of the children.
Some parents use it for other things and some even used it for betting.

In terms of health assistance, the beneficiaries do not enjoy hospitalization

services. Not all were given Phil Health Insurance cards. The others who have
Phil health, they were lucky they were able to receive the card. Thus in times of
emergencies, the 4Ps beneficiaries cant avail of the health services.
