The government allotted around P114 billion to the 2025 budget of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) under the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

In a statement, Budget Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman said this figure is an increase of about eight percent from P106.35 billion in the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA).

The 4Ps grants eligible families financial aid, rice subsidies, additional support services, operational costs, and salaries.

Families meeting the program's requirements will receive education, rice, and health grants, as well as livelihood assistance and health services through PhilHealth, ensuring a comprehensive support system to uplift their quality of life.

The DSWD was allocated P230 billion for next year, of which P205.5 billion has been set aside for implementing its social assistance programs.

Under the FY 2025 National Expenditure Program, the Marcos administration allotted the largest share, or P2.121 trillion, to social services of the P6.352 trillion national budget for next year.

“This allocated fund is not just to address the needs of our fellow citizens, but a promise that President BBM's administration is here for them—we will not abandon them,” Pangandaman said.

“Every peso allocated for our social services is a lifeline that brings hope and a brighter future within reach for families who continue to dream… This is about recognizing their dignity and taking concrete steps toward a more just and progressive society,” she added.

On the other hand, the Social Pension for Indigent Senior Citizens, allocated P49.807 billion which provides crucial financial support for the needs of indigent elderly Filipinos.
This program is designed to enhance the quality of life for indigent seniors, reduce hunger, and safeguard them from neglect and disasters.

Meanwhile, a total of P35.186 billion has also been allocated for the Protective Services for Individuals, Families, and Communities in difficult circumstances that will be used for financial assistance for those in need, including the provision of food packs, transportation, medical and burial assistance, student support, cash or food for work, rice subsidies, and other forms of aid.

Some P4.4 billion were proposed to allot for the Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP) that focuses on building capabilities by providing essential resources and skills to help these groups engage in and sustain successful livelihoods. 
Lastly, the allocated amount for the Philippine Food Stamp Program is P1.890 billion to assist in the form of Electronic Benefit Transfer Cards, particularly to those in need while encouraging them to participate in training and skill-building activities to help find better job opportunities.
