00:00According to the PNA, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, or DSWD, has validated more than 400,000 waitlisted households.
00:12This is for our countrymen eligible for the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps.
00:19Some spots were vacated due to a re-assessment by beneficiaries who are considered non-poor in the list of three.
00:30The re-assessment resulted in the reinstatement of more than 700,000 beneficiaries.
00:37They are returning to the list of non-poor because not all are ready to exit.
00:43This is why the waitlisted did not immediately enter the program.
00:47Meanwhile, the process of facilitating the graduation of families who are not eligible for the program continues.
00:56Currently, 4Ps beneficiaries are registered in 4 million households in the country.
