Who
are
qualified
for Pantawid Pamilya?
1. A
household
may
qualify
for
Pantawid
Pamilya
as
a
beneficiary
if
it
satisfies
two
(2)
criteria:
At
the
time
of
the
assessment,
the
household
must
(1)
be
classified
as
poor,
based
on
the
National Household
Targeting
System
for
Poverty
Reduction
(NHTS‐PR)
and
(2)
have
a
pregnant
woman
and/or
children
0‐14
years
old
as
household
member(s).
Thus,
being
included
in
the
NHTS‐PR
list
of
poor
households
does
not
automatically
qualify
a
household
for
Pantawid
Pamilya.
In
the
same
manner,
not
all
households
with
a
pregnant
woman
or
young
children
as
members
will
qualify
for
the
program.
2. During
community
assemblies,
LGU
representatives
help
in
validating
the
list
of
household
beneficiaries.
