“We were able to achieve 99.353 percent disbursement rate. This is one of the major factors that made us No. 1 on the disbursement and pay out scheme for our 4Ps beneficiaries in Nueva Vizcaya,” he said.

Formerly called Ahon Pamilyang Pilipino, 4Ps is a conditional cash transfer program of the Philippine government under the DSWD.

Villon also said from December 2016 to January 2017 alone, the status for payment for the 4Ps beneficiaries from the 15 towns of the province reached 99.38 percent, with all but P200,000 of the P36.7 million allotted for the beneficiaries paid out.

The payments cover the 4Ps components such as Family Development Session (FDS), Health, Education and Rice Subsidy.

Villon also added that as of May 2017, DSWD is set to pay 959 households for 1,996 transactions with more than P2.6 million funding.

Based on the 4Ps Compliance Verification System turnout, Villon said the beneficiaries in the province registered an average of 91.42 percent for FDS, 93.49 percent for Health, and 97.40 percent for Education. The Rice Subsidy component CVS has no record yet from the DSWD.
