Navotas City lone district Rep. Toby Tiangco has thanked the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for choosing his city as a pilot area for the agency's “e-PANALO ang Kinabukasan, which seeks to make Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries more digitally inclined. 

An initial batch of 50 4Ps members received mobile phones to help them navigate digital transactions and financial platforms, Tiangco bared in a statement Tuesday, March 18.

Some 852 4Ps beneficiaries, who attended the launch, also received P2,000 in financial assistance.

"Malaki ang pasasalamat natin sa DSWD sa pagpili sa Navotas bilang unang lungsod sa NCR na makikinabang sa e-PANALO program. Sa pamamagitan nito, mas mapapabilis at mapapadali ang pagbibigay ng tulong sa ating mga 4Ps beneficiaries," Tiangco said.

(We give big thanks to the DSWD for choosing Navotas as pilot city in the National Capital Region for the e-PANALO program. With this, our 4Ps beneficiaries will get aid much faster and easier.)

"But more than that, we are equipping them with knowledge and skills in digital technology while helping them build a stronger foundation in financial literacy," he added.

The veteran lawmaker also commended the DSWD, under the leadership of Secretary Rex Gatchalian, for its commitment to innovation in social services.

"Hindi lang natin ginagawang mas accessible ang tulong pinansyal—binibigyan natin ang ating mga 4Ps beneficiaries ng kakayahan para mas maging handa sa digital at financial landscape ng ating panahon," Tiangco said.

(Not only are we making financial assistance more accessible--we are also giving 4Ps beneficiaries the ability to adopt to the changing digital and financial landscape.of our time.)

The 4Ps is the government’s flagship poverty alleviation initiative.
