EXPLANATORY NOTE
Republic Act No. 11310, otherwise known as “An Act Institutionalizing the Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program (4Ps) is a milestone advocacy of the government to eradicate poverty in the country. It
connotes poverty alleviation down to the grassroots level by empowering them to be an independent and
economically self-sustaining family.
Over the years of tedious implementation of 4Ps program in the City, the parent leaders are the
sparring partners of DSWD officials and office personnel to ensure proper and efficient implementation in
their respective areas. Giving their time and efforts, is a sacrifice in both their personal and financial
resources. Hence, working as volunteers, these leaders have carried out duties and obligations through
selfless efforts for the benefit of others.
To upgrade the level of implementation of this program, the City Government of Tagum has
enacted this piece of legislation as back-up financial support to all 4Ps Parent Leaders, though minimal
amount, it will bring positive impact to their families and be a sense of motivation and commitment to work
harder.
