There are developmental programs from the
government that indirectly affects behavior of
parents. For instance, the existing conditional

Through this support, majority of the feedback
that 4Ps parent beneficiaries diverted the
financial assistance they receive into other
expenses instead to go directly to the welfare of
their children. It influenced them to become
dependent in any instant aid from the
government. It hampers sometimes the objective
to totally transform the parents from dole-out to
self-reliant. Hence, Paglaum CDFI continually
initiate advocacy on values formation and
program orientation, close monitoring and
coordination with LGU partners to have concrete
achievements of program objectives.
