DSWD rolls out Conditional Cash Transfer Program

Money matters – this phrase rings true in the daily lives of hundreds of poor Filipino families nationwide. Poverty alleviation has long been a government program in the Philippines, where, according to a 2010 Social Weather Stations report, 49% of families rated themselves as poor. The rate of hunger incidence among 3.4 million families is up by more than 2%, from last year’s 15.1% to this year’s 18.1%*.Increase in poverty and hunger in 2010 is attributed to the high prices of basic commodities. In a Business World article, Presidential Communications Development Secretary Ricky Carandang was quoted as saying, “The fact that there was some increase makes it all the more urgent for us to get our social programs in place. We’re hoping that some of that will be felt this year.” - CSC January 2011 issue
