congress.

a testimony the key message of the campaign
which says Pantawid Pamilya is a program of the
government that provides cash grants to registered
households to augment their needs in education
and health of children aged 0-18.
The campaign also emphasizes that it is only DSWD
and no other government offices or a person can
delist Pantawid Pamilya beneficiaries from the
program if they cannot comply the conditions of the
program.

on the official variables from the Beneficiary Data

are the following: (1) duplicate entry, (2) no to 0-18
years old dependent, (3) moved-out, (4) beneficiary
personally signed a waiver, (5) validated as financially
stable with regular income, and (6) fraudulent
activity (misrepresentation and false information),
