December 15, 2025 – The DSWD Field Office IV-A and the local government of Infanta, Quezon celebrated the improved level of wellbeing of 377 beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang PIlipino Program (4Ps) in the locality during the Pugay Tagumpay Graduation Ceremony last December 11, 2025.

These graduates were assessed by the DSWD to have reached self-sufficiency or already have the capacity to support their basic needs as a result of the social welfare and development indicator tool assessment along employable skills, employment, income, housing, education, and access to financial institutions among others.

“Malaki po ang tulong sa akin ng 4Ps, natulungan po ako ng programa na maitama ang aking negatibong pag-uugali na isang naglalaro ng sugal. Naunawaan ko na ang pagsusugal ay hindi solusyon sa aming kahirapan at mahalaga ang pagiging magandang halimbawa ko sa aking mga anak,” shared Aileen Belenzo, a 4Ps graduate from Brgy. Dinahican.

As part of the commitment of the local government to continuously support the graduates, all the 4Ps graduates were also able to access various services during the ceremony. These include services from the Municipal Civil Registrar, Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, PhilHealth, Social Security System, Infanta Credit and Development Cooperative, Quezon National Agricultural School, BPI Banko, Palawan Pawnshop, and Personal Collection.
