4Ps Beneficiaries Should Be Vaccinated Before Claiming Cash Aid
The Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque says that beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) should be vaccinated before claiming cash aid.
Last night on Talk to the People, Roque proposed that 4Ps recipients be vaccinated against COVID-19 before obtaining government assistance. According to Roque, a substantial portion of the country’s population also refuses to be vaccinated.

As a result, he believes that vaccination should be made a condition of receiving assistance from the government’s human development program. Roque made the suggestion after vaccine czar Carlito Galvez, Jr. said vaccination would begin in the current month’s last week.
“Siguro puwede natin pag-aralan na isama natin sa kondisyon para sa 4Ps program ay ‘yung pagbabakuna dahil ang daming nakikinabang sa programa na ‘yan at kapag naisama sa condition na ‘yan ay maraming mababakunahan lalo na sa hanay ng mahihirap,” he said. Roque.
He also mentioned that once the Bayanihan 3 legislation is passed, this can be achieved for the next beneficiaries of the social amelioration program (SAP). Despite this, Roque explained that vaccination would remain optional, but it will be required if they wish to receive government assistance.
“Kung mayroon tayong future ayuda, siguro ‘yung mga makatatanggap din ng ayuda ikakabit na natin doon sa pagbabakuna nang masigurado na mas marami sa ating mga kababayan ang mabakunahan. Ito naman ay boluntaryo pa rin, hindi natin sila pinipilit kumbaga magiging kondiyson kung gusto nilang makatanggap ng ayuda,” Roque added.
