Recently, some 1,986 household beneficiaries in the town of Pandi received their Christmas gifts from Fernando and Castro in an activity assisted by Mayor Enrico Roque and Board Member Ricky Roque.
Mayor Roque said that the 4Ps program is very important for the community because it discovers the potential of households to contribute through their active participation in connecting with government programs and services from vulnerable and disadvantaged families.
The 4Ps is the Philippine government's flagship poverty alleviation program that improves the lives of Filipinos through investment in children's education, nutrition, and health.
