Financing Education through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
Brian O. dela Torre

Abstract
This study endeavoured to find out the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) program of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines, from the viewpoint of its beneficiaries and to recognize the changes it brought forth to education. Respondents, selected through purposive sampling, were asked through a researcher-made questionnaire of their perception and suggestions for the 4Ps, and the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of 4Ps. The study revealed that 4Ps contributed greatly to the school’s performance indicators. This study also raised the awareness of the school personnel and the recipients of the program’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Furthermore, the study concludes that 4Ps certainly helped its recipients and the school with 4Ps enrolees. It is therefore recommended that the program be continued but improved to ensure the attainment of its objectives.
