This is a cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the PantawidPamilyang Pilipino
Program regarding the compliance of beneficiaries and the competency of its
implementers in Barangay San Vicente, Mahayag, Zamboanga del Sur. The respondents
were the beneficiaries currently enrolled in the program and the Municipal Links in
charge of the program. Data gathered were obtained through one-on-one interview of the
beneficiaries and Municipal Links and the interview was conducted using an interview
guide questionnaire based on the operations manual of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino
Program. The interviews done were all considered confidential. The results of the
interviews showed that there is a significant number of beneficiaries who lacked
knowledge about the objectives, conditions and penalties of the program which may
affect their compliance, while the implementer were well informed of the rules and
regulations of the program. Observations resulted that the Family Development Sessions
in the area were underutilized and were not able to meet its purpose of developing the
wellbeing of the beneficiaries. Some of the beneficiaries continue to engage in debts,
alcoholism and gambling even through the interventions in the Family Development
Session. A strict evaluation or liquidation should be part of the program since the issue
of missing grants was addressed by the beneficiaries. A strict monitoring, better
implementation of the rules and regulations and review of the program regarding the
objectives, conditions and punishments for the beneficiaries are recommended.
