Ninety percent of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries have remained below poverty line even if they have been in the program for seven years and more, the Commission on Audit (COA) said in a report.

In its performance report on the program, COA said about 3,820,012 or 90% of the 4,262,439 active household-beneficiaries have been with the program for seven to 13 years "with a total of P537.39 billion cash grants given as at June 30, 2021."

The law imposes a sever-year limit for poor households to stay in the 4Ps program, which started during the Arroyo administration.In its report, the COA pointed out that this limit could delist majority of the beneficiaries by 2026, including school children. It added that as of March 2020, about 2.6 million or 33% of 4Ps student-beneficiaries were still below Grade 6.

Ang 4Ps ay pambalat sibuyas lang na tulong at hindi makapag angat sa buhay ng tao. Kung sinubsidized pa ang pera na yan sa ibang bagay para mapababa ang bilihin baka marami pa umasinso.
