THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) urged recipients of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to register with the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).
“The PhilSys registration and authentication will serve as an equivalent to compliance of 4Ps households with the monthly Family Development Session (FDS) condition for the October to November 2024 period,” 4Ps National Program Manager and Director Gemma Gabuya said on Wednesday.
Gabuya said that the implementation of PhilSys registration and authentication as an FDS equivalency is based on the directive of Social Welfare Secretary Rexlon “Rex” Gatchalian to increase the number of 4Ps households with PhilSys or National ID and ensure that they benefit from the streamlined identification system.
“It will be rolled out nationwide in partnership with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), with a focus on areas in Regions 3 (Central Luzon) and Calabarzon (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, Quezon) where the logistical support of PSA allows for the saturation of all household members,” the official said.
Gabuya said 4Ps recipients can register at authorized registration hubs like barangay halls, shopping malls and FDS co-location venues.
“A household grantee registered to the PhilSys will be entitled to one month of FDS compliance, while households where all members are registered, will receive two months’ worth of compliance,” she said. “By registering with PhilSys, beneficiaries can fulfill their FDS compliance requirements and secure their conditional cash grants for the period.”
