ABSTRACT
The Philippine government implemented the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps)
and patterned it after Latin American conditional cash transfer (CCT) programs, with the
goals of poverty reduction and social development. With the insufficiency of research
focusing on the 4Ps indirect effects, the programs social impact remains unknown. Since
the beneficiaries receive cash transfers from the government, they might be obliged to
reciprocate their actions through civic engagement activities. In this study, civic
engagement is defined as the overall activeness of citizens to work and positively impact
their lives through participation in political and communal activities. Using propensity
score matching, the researchers found that beneficiaries of the 4Ps tend to vote and
mostly to Luzon. Moreover, the study concluded that the 4Ps alone is not sufficient to
improve civic engagement outcomes as they are also dependent on other factors which
include, but are not limited to: geographical location, educational attainment and

CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTION
Poverty is an economic issue that has long been a persistent problem in different
nations, especially among developing countries. The issue of poverty alleviation became
the focus of many political and socioeconomic reforms that have been undertaken in the
quest to mitigate poverty. However, many of these reforms did not yield sustainable results.
This is mainly because poverty is a complex phenomenon where the linking of economic,
the country attained economic growth, poverty was not reduced and income inequality
remains high (Asian Development Bank, 2009). According to the National Statistical
Coordination Board (2013), poverty statistics reported a poverty incidence of 27.9% during
the first semester of 2012. This is comparatively similar to the poverty incidence during the
first semester of 2006 and 2009 at 28.8% and 28.6%, respectively. On the other hand, there
is a very small change of the income gap during the first semester of 2006 and 2012 at

National Statistical Coordination Board (2013) also reported that the families in
extreme poverty persisted at 10% from the first half of 2006 until 2012. As exhibited in

to 2012.
several decades, income inequality, and external shocks such as natural calamities,
economic crises, and political issues. The report also found that poverty is attributed to the
lack of human capital development. As educational attainment has long been linked to
poverty in the Philippines, the government has implemented several anti-poverty programs
11
The Impact of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on Civic Engagement: A Propensity
Score Matching Approach
Anti-poverty programs in the Philippines began after the enactment of Republic Act
8425 or the Social Reform and Poverty Alleviation Act, where the Social Reform Agenda
(SRA) and National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC) were established during the 1990s.
The SRA aims to create a representation and participation of marginalized sectors in the
anti-poverty programs of the government, while the NAPC wants to uphold this partnership
in the long run between the poor and the government by implementing social reforms while
Among the numerous anti-poverty programs, the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT)
poverty cycle in developed and developing countries, where poverty remains prevalent
(Shahani, 2013). CCT programs have been distinguished as one of the most effective way
transfer. Reliant upon meeting the conditions imposed by the government, cash grants are
given to extremely poor families to finance their childrens education and health needs.
This positively impacts education and health of the children of poorest families (Son,
2008). Furthermore, the scope of CCTs is not limited to giving financial aid to the
extremely poor, but also in empowering poor households through social activities that

like Brazils Bolsa Familia and Mexicos Oportunidades. The Philippine government
believes that good governance and social service are the key mechanisms in poverty
alleviation (Reyes et al., 2012). According to the Budget ng Bayan (2012), the social
services sector received the biggest allocation of Php 567.9 billion or 31% of the total
budget in 2012. This amount further increased in 2013 with the allocation amounting to
Php 698.8 billion (Presidential Communications Operations Office, 2012). The 4Ps, being
one of the social mechanisms directed towards the needs of the poor, comprises a
significant amount of the budget allocated to the social services sector. The government
budget for 4Ps from its pilot year until 2013 is exhibited in Table 1 below.

billion increase in 2015 from 2014s budget, which is the biggest allocation of the DSWDs
financial plan (Gavilan, 2014). Hence, the social service sector of the Philippines,
particularly the 4Ps, receives a significant budget for its operations and continues to
The cash transfer that the beneficiaries receive is subject to several requirements
imposed by authorities. Based on DSWD (2009), the requirements of 4Ps include school
attendance and health center visits for children, and parents participation in Family
Development Sessions (FDS). These FDS allow the beneficiaries to interact with other
beneficiaries that could strengthen the social and community engagement of 4Ps recipients.
Given the possibility of the indirect impact of 4Ps on social aspects of the
community, the researchers aims to determine the impact of the program on a specific
social concept called civic engagement. Civic engagement is defined as the overall
activeness of citizens to work and positively impact their lives through participation in
political and communal activities (Ehrlich, 2000). There are various civic engagement
political or community talk, and involvement in public affairs (Gastil et al., 2010).
Most CCT programs raise the concern that cash transfers will result to the
dependency of beneficiaries, hence lessening work incentives (Samson, 2009). In the case
14

of the Philippines, DSWD refuted this idea and denoted that the program teaches its
beneficiaries to exert an effort to improve their lives (ANC, 2013). However, there is still
no actual evidence in the Philippines proving that the beneficiaries reciprocate the cash
Social capital is defined as the societal norms that shape the social relationships in
communities (Smith, 2009). This concept is essential for a democratic society, since social
capital binds the society together (World Bank, 2011). As most of the conditions of the 4Ps
participation, health care visitation, and joint participation to other beneficiaries, then social
relationships could be affected by the 4Ps and then result to responsible citizenship
Civic engagement is correlated with the social participation, social linkages, and
social trust to governmental involvement (Ekman and Amna, 2012). Active social
interaction between individuals helps develop cooperation and solve free rider problems
(Glaeser et al., 2002). Furthermore, Glaeser et al. (2002) said that the government tends to
be more efficient and responsive if citizens were interested with political and community
activism.
Labonne, et al. (2011) stated that poor communities that are less likely to be funded
by government development programs provide less support towards the government and

the community. It is also important to take note of the geographical differences of the poor
communities. This difference reflects different political and cultural behavior in terms of
thoughts, attitudes, frame of references, assumptions, and beliefs that can affect the civic
engagement of individuals (Elazar, 1999). The restrictions on land and oceans, efficiency
Given the fact that the Philippines is a diversified country in terms of culture and
geography, civic engagement addresses various aspects of social environment. This does
not merely include individuals, but also community groups with different characteristics
such as culture, traditions, interests, experiences, geography, and ethics (Center for Disease
Control and Prevention, 1994). With this, civic engagement could be beneficial in solving
physical, interpersonal and cultural differences among the country by mobilizing the whole

Most research and studies of the impact of the 4Ps in the Philippines are
concentrated on its expected and direct impacts such as education and health of children.
However, only very few researchers conducted studies regarding the indirect effects of the
4Ps.
Since civic engagement is a potential indirect and social effect of the 4Ps, this study
will assess the social impact of the 4Ps on the civic engagement of its beneficiaries. This
study will also consider different geographical locations of the beneficiaries, since there are
different characteristics and poverty levels across different regions or locations (Elazar,
1999). In this study, civic engagement will refer to voting turnout and community
organization membership.
With the aforementioned background and the statement of the problem, this
research aims to determine the impact of the 4Ps on civic engagement among its
beneficiaries. Specifically, the paper would like to address the following objectives:

Different studies regarding the 4Ps are mostly focused on its implementation and
expected effect on economic indicators, such as education and health, which are important
factors of well being. However, well being does not solely rely on economic indicators, but
on social aspects as well. An example of this social aspect is civic engagement, which

addition, the beneficiaries may feel gratified in receiving the cash transfers, which could be
an incentive for them to reciprocate their actions and support the government by engaging
in civic activities.

countries. Previous studies concerning the social impact of CCTs are concentrated on the

In an effort to provide financial aid, education and health to the poor, the first
conditional cash transfer programs were integrated in Brazil and Mexico. Brazils first CCT
program was called Programa de Eradicaco do Trabalho Infantil, but this was later
integrated to the countrys recent CCT called Bolsa Familia (World Bank, 2011). On the
other hand, Mexico implemented its CCT, called Progresa, in an attempt to provide
financial aid to poor households and improve education and health among children

encouraged other countries to follow the framework of CCT. One of the reasons for this is
the spillover effect that CCTs cause. For instance, Lehmann (2009) found that in low-
income countries, CCTs have social spillover effects when women receive the cash
transfer. This is exhibited when women become more empowered since they are the ones

(Cortes, 2013).
During the 2006 presidential elections in Brazil, there was a significant change in
support for the governing party in regions where Bolsa Familia beneficiaries are located
(Zucco, 2010). Fried (2012) explained the reason for this change in support stating that the
shift was because the poor citizens of Brazil based their election decision on the tangible
benefit they received from the political process, which was the Bolsa Familia.
Perus Juntos
Camacho (2014) studied the impact of Juntos on trust and social engagement. The
findings showed that trust among the non-beneficiaries decreased since these individuals
deem that the selection in availing the cash transfer is unfair. However, to those households
that are eligible, the study showed that government trust increased, while trust towards
other institutions remain unchanged. On the other hand, Juntos also increased civic
engagement in both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries through the increase of the number
of people who voted. The effect has not been attributed to material incentives although the
program made beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries more active in terms of voting behavior

government support. It has been observed that the municipal-level government party that
implemented the program has a higher chance of being re-elected in municipalities that
have PRAF beneficiaries. However, there was no effect regarding the same government
party at national level elections (Linos, 2013). On the other hand, a slightly negative
outcome was found on support towards the incumbent government at national level, which
was hypothesized to be because of the infrequent cash transfers and difficulty in accessing
the money. The non-beneficiaries showed more support towards the government compared

impact on economic indicators such as education and health. However, the cash transfer
that the beneficiaries receive might have a social impact on them because they might feel
gratified towards the government. This social impact could be in the form of civic
engagement.
In 2007, the Philippines implemented a conditional cash transfer program for the
poorest Filipino households. The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4Ps, which also
serves as the countrys version of CCT, is the central program of the many poverty
alleviation tactics applied. Other current poverty reduction programs include the
subsidized health insurance coverage, supplemental feeding program, the food for work
The 4Ps has been the proposed solution of the Philippine government to the
households, conditional upon investments in child education and health. The program has
the primary objectives of social assistance and social development. Social assistance aims
to promote short-term poverty alleviation through cash transfers, while social development,
aims to mitigate the persistent poverty pattern through investments in human capital.

The conditions set by the program are the prenatal and postnatal care for pregnant

Households with income not greater than the provincial poverty line are considered.
Moreover, households with children below 14 years of age or pregnant women are also
taken into consideration for the eligibility of the beneficiaries. In addition, National
Household Targeting System for Poverty Reduction (NHTS PR) is utilized based on
proxy variables such as housing type, assets ownership, household head educational
attainment, livelihood and access to water and sanitation facilities (DWSD, 2009).

Since the 4Ps is patterned after CCT programs implemented in other countries such
as Mexico and Brazil, it is essential to know the similarities and differences between the
design of 4Ps and other CCTs. A table for the comparison of 4Ps and other CCTs is shown

The CCTs chosen for comparison in the table are Mexicos Oportunidades, Perus

These are specifically chosen because the literature for these CCTs is extensive, and the
Philippines 4Ps is patterned after Oportunidades in Mexico and Bolsa Familia in Brazil.
Usually, the similarities between the 4Ps and these CCTs lies in the targeting method,
which is Proxy Means Testing, and the recipient of the cash transfer (except in the case of
PATH). This indicates that the economic state of households that are targeted with the
CCTs across different countries is similar. On the other hand, the differences of the 4Ps
with the CCTs of other countries include the duration of availability of the program and
frequency of verification program. This is crucial since the length of the availability of the

indicators that are used in the study. Related studies will aid the researchers in discussing

different countries.
Civic Engagement
Civic engagement does not have a specific and universal definition (Levine, 2012).
For instance, World Bank defined civic engagement as the direct and indirect interaction of
the citizens to business establishments and the state in order to accomplish common

2009). Nonetheless, these activities are grounded on the intention of a citizen to accomplish
civic acts.
Democratic countries have been known to promote civic engagement, and this
concept may be viewed at the local and national level (Ruf, 2013). At state level, civic
engagement could involve the funding of insurance for health centers (Szilagyi et al.,
2000). Meanwhile, civic engagement at the local level is more important since national
civic engagement could only be achieved through the aggregation of individual civic
engagements (Ruf, 2013). Adler et al. (2005) denoted local civic engagement as

are known to exercise democracy through political and communal engagement activities
such as voting in elections and joining in community organizations. Since the Philippines is
a democratic and developing country, social development and anti-poverty programs are
expected to reinforce democracy and civic responsibility among its citizens (Baez et al.,
2012).
Majority of the studies concerning CCTs were centered on evaluating the intended
effects of the program, which are improvement in education, labor, health, and poverty
status of the program beneficiaries. However, along with these intended effects are indirect
effects of the program. These usually cover the impact of the program on social and
political aspects, such as civic engagement (Baez et al., 2012; Camacho, 2014; Perova,

In Perus Juntos, it was explained that there are three factors that affected
the civic engagement of CCTs beneficiaries (Perova, 2010). First is the selective material
gratification, wherein the beneficiaries receive monetary incentives, which made them
believe that there would be extensions of incentives through supporting the government.
Second is the change in the outlook of beneficiaries towards the government wherein the
beneficiaries saw the governments capability and readiness to address the problems in the
community. This made the beneficiaries more interested in the governments activities.
Lastly, the social interaction that is required in the program also exposed the beneficiaries

In Kenyas Cash Transfer Program (CTP), Ressler (2008) identified the length of
the period wherein beneficiaries received the cash grant. He also obtained the degree of
knowledge that beneficiaries have about the program. He found out that the beneficiary

According to Perova (2010) who studied the impact of CCT program Juntos in Peru
on civic engagement emphasizing on voting, the cash transfer program may affect political
participation of individuals through political budget cycles. These budget cycles refer to
the program. The cash transfer may affect the perception of individuals on governments
responsiveness. Furthermore, the requirements of CCT programs that are focused on social
interactions can influence even non-beneficiaries to support the government. Hence, will

Voting is one of the main determinants of civic engagement. There are different
factors that affect the voting behavior of people. These include education and income.
Coley et al. (2012) found that in the case of the United States of America, citizens in the
upper classes in terms of income and education are more likely to engage in civic activities.
A more educated person is more knowledgeable in civic knowledge. Hence, this person has
Voter turnout is defined as the number of registered voters who voted in an election
(Roberts, 2009). A high voter turnout brings a desirable effect given that it reinforces
democracy in the country. In the case of the Philippines, 85% of its citizens exercise their
right to vote despite the difficulties in the process of election voting (Sallaveria, 2010).
However, this ratio does not specify the type and class of citizens who vote.
According to Ericta et al. (2003), Region IV and NCR region had the biggest
voting turnouts, whereas the CARAGA region had the smallest voting turnouts ever since
year 2000. Furthermore, last 2010 automated elections, voter turnout for women is 75.7%
which was slightly greater than the voter turnout for men at 74.4% (PCW, 2014). This
implies that gender doesnt make any much difference when it comes to voting today.
Aside from gender, socioeconomic factors like literacy, educational attainment and
employment, determine the voting turnout in the Philippines. Ericta et al. (2003) found that
higher percentage of Filipino voters have completed at least elementary education and there

was a projected literacy rate at 92% of the voting population. Meanwhile, 88.76% of the
voting population was employed. Hence, this entails that Filipino voters have a high
Baez et al. (2012) found that political views could be reflected in cash transfer
that women beneficiaries tend to vote more compared to men and change their candidate
because women are the primary recipients of the monetary transfers of the CCT. With this,
women became more supportive of candidates promoting social welfare projects such as
exercise their voting rights. CCT could be the strategy to have greater support on the
incumbent, hence the increase in voter turnout (Baez et al., 2012). However, De La O

vote rather than merely persuading them. This means that beneficiaries are empowered to

concluded that election monitoring is not necessary in order to derive electoral returns for
candidates; it is only required that the benefits of the CCT program is observed and felt by
the voters. Reinforcing these results, Baez et al. (2012) found that the CCT program has
driven beneficiaries to register and re-elect incumbent officials either as a reward for their
Most citizens are more likely to support the incumbent because of the
implementation of anti-poverty programs and social policies that are geared toward the
masses. In the case of Colombias Familias en Acciones, high political rewards may affect
the choice of policies and projects of the government, as government funds are
concentrated on CCTs (Nupia et al., 2011). It was seen that the beneficiaries showed more
eagerness to vote in the presidential elections. This shows that the monetary transfers
possibly influenced the voters choices (Baez et al., 2012). Hence, there is a positive
The duration of the beneficiarys enrollment in the program also has an effect in
voting. De La O (2013) stated in his study about Mexicos Progresa that the longer a
household is enrolled in the program the higher the participation in voting. It was also
concluded that there is an increase in votes for the incumbent due to the program.
Moreover, increase in the engagement of the beneficiaries was also observed in the case of

The theoretical bases of this study are the Human Capital Theory, Social Capital
Theory and Spillover Effects. Human Capital Theory indicates the importance of
investments in human capital of a country, while Social Capital Theory, which explains
social network where individuals work together to improve well being. Spillover effects
Human capital refers to the set of skills that an individual can contribute to
productivity. These skills are usually dependent on education, health and work ethic of an
individual (LSE Economics, 2014). The concept of human capital is rooted in Adam
Smiths The Wealth of Nations where he described that the wage level of a worker is
positively related to the skill of the said worker, which is now widely regarded as the
Schultz, who is credited with coining the term human capital, proposed that humans (not
technology) are the primary driving force for economic growth. Moreover, Schultz also
established that education and productivity are factors that are positively related (Kern,
2009). Hence, the human capital theory states that when capital is invested in education and

Putting all the aforementioned insights into perspective, it is intuitive that returns on

children in the household. For a given level of income, more investment is distributed on
each child with fewer children in the household. With this, countries with little human
capital are usually characterized by large family size and invest little on each child. On the
contrary, those with abundant capital invest more on fewer kids. Thus, a country would be
well off if there are more investments in children, and long-term physical capital
According to Garson (2006), social capital can be defined as the resources that are
integral in social relations, which help facilitate cooperative and collaborative action within
49
The Impact of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on Civic Engagement: A Propensity

a society. These resources may include, but are not limited to, socio-cultural norms such as
trust, friendship and goodwill, as well as networks of association that work towards a
common goal. Although the social capital theory has not yet been fully established due to
the complexity of social capital and its components, it can be loosely theorized to describe
that productivity can be derived from the social bonds, bridges and linkages that people
share and utilize (OECD, n.d.). Given that a conditional cash transfer program is a part of a
social network where individuals develop social relationships in order to strengthen their
well being, social capital is imperative with regard to the programs success, especially
since the social network in this study is composed of the government, the community, and
the household members. Using the social capital theory as a basis, the cash transfer
program can be seen as a form of social protection method in order to alleviate poverty and
vulnerability through giving cash transfers. Hence, there is a need to develop relationship
between the government and community for a proper implementation of the program
(Ressler, 2008).
Spillover Effects
individuals that are not targeted by the program (Jaffe, 1996). Spillovers can also be
viewed as externalities, which could be positive or negative depending on the private and

effects may also be present in CCT programs. This is because the resources that the
beneficiaries use are the same resources used by non-beneficiaries (Angelucci et al., 2010).
In addition, the social interactions between beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries could have

supplemented with economic theories: Selective Material Gratification which implies that
beneficiaries would be inclined to reciprocate the gratitude that they obtain from cash
transfers received; Social Engagement which denotes civic solidarity as the precondition
for civic activities; and Political Budget Cycle Model, in which political budget cycles are
cash transfers (Perova, 2010). In this case, the selectivity refers to the feeling of
gratification as expressed by the beneficiary group only, while materialism refers to the
cash received by the beneficiaries. Since beneficiaries receive additional cash, their poverty
status is improved., The additional cash would aid them in their additional expenses
pertaining to health and education. Hence, beneficiaries will feel more gratified towards the
government. This will serve as an incentive to reciprocate the benefits that they receive by

educational activities and other orientations. This would allow them to interact more with
community members and hence form a social network with them. Putnam (2000) said this
would create some level of trust and reciprocity between them. This is termed as civil
solidarity, and aside from the role of this concept on socioeconomic modernization, this is
also considered as a precondition for voters turnout and membership in organizations. This
is because when civil solidarity is developed, influences on the collective action of the
engagement.

about participating in Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), voting in the last

Other variables were drawn from the household survey questions, such as the
water and sanitation facilities.) household head job employment, household head
educational attainment, and other livelihood. These are the characteristics that were
included in the Proxy Means Test, which is the main tool used by officials for targeting
eligible beneficiaries for 4Ps (Grosh et al., 1995). The Proxy Means Test is the combination
of variables from the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) and Labor Force
Survey (LFS) of 2003 (Fernandez, 2012). In this study, the variables that are used are
based on the Proxy Means Test variables in Chaudhury et al. (2003) that are in accordance
with the balance test that will be conducted for the propensity score matching

In order to reduce the bias brought about by confounding variables, the statistical
technique of matching will be used (Austin, 2011). Employing matching in this study will
assess the effects of the 4Ps on civic engagement by matching the propensity scores of the

the program (Khandker et al., 2010). In this way, the treatment effect for the beneficiaries

After the propensity score is estimated, the region of common support must be

to be obtained from the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS), which is a source
for policymakers and development practitioners to collect organized data from local

In this paper, the researchers will utilize the recent version of CBMS 2011
in the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, voting in the last election of year 2010 and
participating in community organizations, which are the main variables to be used in the

study. Also, the 4Ps beneficiaries and the data of the household profiles to determine the
eligibility of households in the program can be obtained from the questionnaire such as the
housing type, assets ownership, household head educational attainment, livelihood and
The sample data of this study includes the provinces with beneficiaries from the
regions that are covered by the CBMS survey last 2011. The targeted provinces and
municipalities with the available 2011 data are Pasay in NCR region; Kalibo, Aklan in
Region VI; and Surigao del Norte in CARAGA Region. These provinces are from
different island groups (Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao) of the Philippines. Pasay will
represent Luzon island with 70,481 observations, Kalibo will represent Visayas island with
13,517 observations and Surigao will represent Mindanao island with 6,320 observations.
The objective of determining the general impacts of the 4Ps on civic engagement is
addressed by aggregating all the datasets from CBMS Household Survey 2011 into a single
dataset before using Stata 13 to run the PSM. On the other hand, the second objective is
answered by grouping the datasets according to Philippine island groups then performing
the PSM on each of these datasets. Country level analysis, island group level analysis and
island group comparison will be done in the study. In the country level analysis, all the data
from the provinces selected will be put together and run by PSM. PSM will be done for

The figure above summarizes the step-by-step process in order to determine the
treatment effects of 4Ps using propensity score matching. The first assumption that the
covariates must be observable is satisfied, since the variables used as covariates in this
study are household and household head characteristics. After this is satisfied, the statistical
software implicitly used logistic regression to generate the propensity score for each
observation. The logistic regression denotes the probability that a household is selected as a
beneficiary of the 4Ps based on the household assets that they possess or the characteristics
of the household and household head. Commonly, the pseudo R2 is observed to check how
well the econometric model fits the data. However, in the case of a logistic regression, the
R2 tends to be lower than usual because the coefficients in the results are merely the natural
logarithm of the odds ratio. Because of this, the coefficients still have to be converted to the
66
The Impact of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on Civic Engagement: A Propensity

odds ratio by computing for their anti-log. The logistics regression function creates a new
column in the dataset. This dataset contains the different propensity scores assigned to each
household. These propensity scores are computed based on the household and household
After the software generates the propensity scores, Stata implicitly finds the region
of common support, or the range of propensity scores wherein there are matches between
the beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. As a general rule, there should exist a region of
common support for the second condition of PSM to be satisfied. The non-beneficiaries
that are matched will be retained, while the unmatched non-beneficiaries are dropped. After
To assure that the propensity scores obtained are meaningful, the software conducts
a balancing test to assure that the balancing property is satisfied. The software conducts the
balancing test by stratifying the observations by block depending on the matches between

67
The Impact of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program on Civic Engagement: A Propensity

When the balancing property is satisfied, the second condition of the PSM is achieved.
Hence, the propensity scores can be used to estimate the average treatment effect for the
treated.
For the treatment effects, the nearest neighbor matching will be used. This
matching if effective for treatment effects for the treated estimates, since this considers all
treatment observations. Hence, only control observations will be dropped. There have been
arguments that the nearest neighbor matching technique reduces the number of
observations, but this is mainly because of the number of unmatched control observations
that are dropped (Stuart, 2010). In the case of this study, the reduced number of
The treatment effects for the treated for voting and organizational membership are
executed through Stata. Results use the t-statistic as the indicator for significance. Hence, a
t-statistic with an absolute value of at least 1.96 indicates that results are significant.
Finally, the standard errors will be bootstrapped for them to approximate their true values.
Since this study aims to conduct a country-level and island-group level analysis on
the effects of 4Ps on civic engagement activities, more than one PSM will be run using
Stata. To estimate the country-level impact of 4Ps on civic engagement, the researchers
will pool data from different provinces into a single dataset, then perform PSM to obtain

To estimate the island-group (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) level, the researchers will
classify the data from different provinces into their corresponding island group, then pool
the data into three separate datasets per island group (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao). Hence,
there will be one pooled data for Luzon, one pooled data from Visayas and one pooled data
from Mindanao. PSM will be run separately for each pooled data to obtain the treatment
effect for each island group. Furthermore, PSM will be run for pooled datasets for
Mindanao. This is to indicate whether the beneficiaries have different voting turnout and
note that the treatment effects will be run separately for voting turnout and organizational
membership, since the treatment effects for the treated can only handle a binary dependent
variable.
PSM will be done 7 times to obtain 7 different propensity scores. Likewise, the
treatment effects for voting and organizational membership are run on the software 7 times
for each effect. The analysis column displays the type of analysis that the researchers will
do. The data column refers to the dataset that the researchers will use in doing the
corresponding analysis. The PSM column shows the number of propensity score

61,615 households or 97.80% of the sample data are 4Ps non-beneficiaries and only 1,384
households or 2.20% of the sample data are 4Ps beneficiaries in Luzon. This indicates a
small proportion of 4Ps beneficiaries in Luzon. Moreover, the researchers found that
beneficiaries have less female household heads, with 14.88% of female household heads

In terms of assets, the figure above shows that beneficiaries have lesser luxury
assets, or those assets that are costly items such as karaoke, refrigerators, lpg, washing
For instance, regrigerators, microwaves and air conditioners require more cost since these
appliances increase electrical consumption. On the other hand, LPG stoves require LPG
gas, which is also an expensive item. The beneficiaries usually have televisions, electric
fan, electric iron, and cellphone; which are all considered basic assets.
Generally, 4Ps beneficiaries in Luzon have less female household heads, less
percentage has electricity, less percentage possesses land and less percentage owns assets
compared to non-beneficiaries. Hence, this proves that 4Ps beneficiaries are poorer than the

are required to have children in school and in clinics for medical check-ups. However, the
grants of the 4Ps are only Php500 per household for health, and Php300 per child for a
maximum of 3 children (Department of Social Welfare and Development, 2009). With this
amount, the beneficiary is required to use this money to have check-ups and proper
education with school materials. Hence, the grants are mostly used in these expenses. The
household members who are not qualified within the age range of the 4Ps requirements are
not included in the cash grants. Hence, the amount that a household receives from the 4Ps
is dependent on the number of eligible 4Ps candidates. With this, they still have to support
the ineligible household members though employment to maintain the requirements of the

In terms of assets ownership for the 4Ps non-beneficiary, the researchers found out
that non-beneficiaries possess more assets than those of the beneficiaries given that
beneficiaries are usually deemed to be the poorest households with less assets ownership. It
can also be observed that for beneficiaries, the majority only has the basic appliances such
as radio, television and cellphone. For the beneficiaries, only a few have computer, internet
access, microwave, LPG stove, landline, air conditioner, sewing machine and jeepney. It
should be noted that these assets that are uncommon among the beneficiaries are costly. For
instance, air conditioners, computers, internet access, and LPG stove consume more
electricity and other expenses such as LPG gas and internet prepaid and postpaid
subscription. On the other hand, since most of the beneficiaries have cellphones, they use
this gadget as their network communication instead of landlines. The figure below

figures indicate that for the beneficiaries, females are usually housewives rather than
workingwomen.

Beneficiaries of the 4Ps are slightly more active in civic engagement, with 94.73%
voting turnout among the beneficiaries last 2010 general elections, and 35.31% members
in organizations. On the other hand, 93.33% of the non-beneficiaries voted last elections,
while 34.41% are members in organizations. The increase in civic engagement can be
attributed to the Selective Material Gratification and Political Budget Cycle Model like
the others. Since Mindanao has the most number of 4Ps beneficiaries in our sample data,
more individuals will reciprocate the benefits they received from the government through
civic engagement, thus spillover effects will happen. The figure below summarized the
Mindanao statistics.

Interestingly, 80.29% of the beneficiaries have jobs, while only 77.33% among the
non-beneficiaries are employed. This indicates that household heads of beneficiaries tend
It should be noted that out of the three island groups, Mindanao has the
largest proportion of beneficiaries. Since the 4Ps target households that are the poorest in
barangays, then it can be hypothesized that municipalities Mindanao has more poor
households since this island group contains that largest proportion of beneficiaries. Also,
the beneficiaries in Mindanao have more household heads that are employed compared to
non-beneficiaries. This is because the beneficiaries have to keep up with the requirements
of the cash transfers to continue receiving the cash grants as stated before.
Focusing on the asset ownership of the 4Ps beneficiaries, the researchers found out
that beneficiaries of Mindanao have more televisions, CD players, and cellular phones than
other assets. Only a small proportion have air conditioners, LPG stove, landlines,
microwaves, washing machines, computer, internet access, and cars. This may be because
assets that have cheaper expenses could substitute these assets. For instance, air
conditioners can be substituted for electric fans, landlines can be substituted for cellular
phones, LPG stoves can be substituted for coal, washing machines can be substituted for
hand-washing laundry, and cars can be substituted for tricycles. Hence, beneficiaries of the
4Ps are more inclined to own and use assets that have fewer expenses in terms of

beneficiaries from Luzon and Visayas have matches are electricfan, sewing, carjeep and
land. Following this, the region of common support of [.02156687, .91758458] has been
selected. Hence, observations with propensity scores beyond this range are dropped. From
this range, the optimal number of blocks selected is 5, and the balancing property is now
satisfied.
After 4 PSM runs showed in Appendix D- Figure 05, the balancing property is
satisfied. The last PSM run shows that the number of blocks by which the average
propensity score of treatment and control variables do not differ at 5. At this point, the
balancing property is satisfied and the characteristics of the treatment and control variables
are observationally identical. It was found that all the variables that were balanced in this
run were found to be significant except for the following: washing, internet, landline,
aircon, carjeep and educal. The insignificant variables might not appear in most
households in Visayas and Mindanao, given that it is more of a rural area compared to
Luzon. Only karaoke, lpg, microwave, cellphone, and tricycle were significant given that
these are only the common assets owned by a typical rural household in Visayas and

This is because Luzon and Visayas have similar community and political organizations,
which is further explained in the subsection after the explanation of the treatment effects.

Based on the result presented in Appendix E- Figure 10, it can be said that if
beneficiary households in Mindanao are situated in Visayas, they are 33% less likely to be

organizations active in both regions, as organizations differ in scope and breadth. These
beneficiaries from Mindanao are matched with 1463 beneficiaries from Luzon. The
average treatment effect for the treated is -0.040, indicating that if a beneficiary of the 4Ps
in Mindanao were to be situated in Luzon, then the probability of voting will decrease by
0.040. This is counter-intuitive, but the result was significant at the absolute t-value of

when the geographical difference is quite large, like Luzon and Mindanao. This is in line
with previous studies mentioned in the literature review. One reason for this
counterintuitive result is because the organizations in Luzon are different from Mindanao.
Hence, beneficiaries in Mindanao may not be inclined to join organizations if they were in
Luzon because the objectives of the organizations may be different from their preference.

III.C.1. Estimation of the Treatment Effects for Voting Turnouts: Countrywide analysis
The researchers utilized the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated Nearest
variables such as voting and membership in organization. Based on the outcomes in the
country level, exhibited in Appendix E- Figure 13, using the variable for voting, the 4Ps
beneficiaries in the country have 7.20% chances to increase their voting compared to non-
beneficiaries. Also, the t-value is 17.547 which means that the result is statistically
significant, given that t-value must be greater than 1.96 to be considered statistically
significant. The researchers also utilized bootstrapping and found that there are no

vote less if the beneficiary were situated in Luzon. These are counterintuitive effects of the
4Ps on voter turnout among beneficiaries if they are compared based on island group. This
suggests that among beneficiaries, there is still a discrepancy in voting when it comes to
differences in geographical locations. This suggests that aside from being a beneficiary of
the 4Ps, there must be several factors that account for the discrepancy between different
island groups. A report from COMELEC about the Philippine voter profile indicates that
status (Ericta et al, 2003). Among voters in the Philippines, 88.76% tend to be employed
84.32% beneficiaries from Luzon are employed. For Visayas beneficiaries, 82.58% are
employed. Mindanao has more unemployed individuals than Visayas, and Visayas has
more unemployed individuals than Luzon. This suggests that there are differences in
employment status among beneficiaries in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Hence, this
could account for the differences in in voting turnout among beneficiaries across different
regions.

(2003) also showed that a greater portion of Filipino voters are from elementary and high

in this study, Visayas and Mindanao beneficiaries may have higher elementary graduates

the differing organizations. In another case, a beneficiary in Visayas might not prefer the
organizations in Luzon since the organizations between Luzon and Visayas are different in
terms of nature and objectives. This is could also explain why results are ambiguous when
beneficiaries from different island groups are pooled. Different organizations have different
objectives and visions, and difference in culture may have an influence in a person joining
different organization, so beneficiaries in Mindanao may not prefer some organizations that

Ericta et al. (2003) showed that education and employment have an effect on civic
engagement, particularly with voting behavior. Moreover, the archipelagic nature of the
Philippines has effects on the outcome of civic engagement. As a result, the policy
Statistics show that being a beneficiary of the 4Ps is not enough to encourage civic
engagement. According to Ericta et al. (2003), about 88% of Philippine voters are
employed, which indicates that most voters have jobs. However, based on the gathered
data, there are discrepancies with employment with regards to the different island groups.
For instance, the Luzon has the most number of employed beneficiary household heads,
followed by Visayas, and then Mindanao. Based on the results of the study of the
individual island groups, being a 4Ps beneficiary increases voting turnout in Luzon only, as
employers, government projects, and the beneficiaries. During the required monthly family

development sessions, the 4Ps officers can publicize announcements regarding job
opportunities. This could enable the beneficiaries to acquire jobs if they are unemployed, or
acquire the job that matches their skills. Moreover, the 4Ps could partner with the
Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to provide more job opportunities, like job
fairs, for the beneficiaries. This is helpful since the 4Ps require the beneficiaries to comply
with the requirements for cash grants (e.g. school attendance of children, regular check-ups
and vaccinations), which amount to Php 500 per month, per household for healthcare, and
Php 300 per month per child, with a maximum of 3 children per household. These amounts
may not be sufficient to cover the expenses of the household in terms of education and
transportation to the school and authorized clinics. These cash grants may not be enough,
especially for the households who have a very large household size, but only a few
beneficiaries (e.g. the number of children in a household is 5, but the 4Ps only allow 3
beneficiaries per household). In this case, the household heads are induced to acquire jobs

In their study, most of the voters were high school graduates and college undergraduates,
followed by the elementary graduates. In this study, statistics show that there are
groups. For instance, there are more high school graduates and college undergraduates in
Luzon than in Visayas and Mindanao. Conversely, there are more elementary graduates in
Visayas and Mindanao, than in Luzon. This could explain the reason why the result of this
study is significant for Luzon, but insignificant for Visayas and Mindanao.

finished a higher tier of education than those in Visayas and Mindanao, then Luzon
household heads are more likely to find better employment opportunities because the
Since the requirements of the 4Ps generally extend to children, we suggest the 4Ps
expand the range of the age and educational level of the beneficiaries. Aside from focusing
on high school levels, it would also be beneficial for the 4Ps to include cash grants for
college level education, as tertiary education usually require more expenses. The additional
skills that the beneficiaries may acquire from the tertiary education would be helpful for

them to find jobs in the future, which would eventually help improve the poverty status of
the household. In addition, higher education will expose the beneficiaries to civic
engagement concepts and the different organizations in the community, which would
Results show that the percentage of membership in organization is quite low. In the
case of the comparison of different island group household heads, results cannot be
generalized since there are different community organizations in different island groups For
instance, the organization in Visayas are targeted only for municipalities in Visayas, while
results in Luzon and Mindanao are targeted for their respective cities. Hence, if a
beneficiary might not join the organizations in that area, since the vision and goals of the
organization might be different from the culture and preferences of the beneficiary.
Results indicate that the organizations are targeted to improve the problems that are
specific to each community. This accounts for the differences in organizations among the
island groups. However, the three island groups still have similar general problems, such as

childrens health, etc.). The researchers suggest the creation of organizations that do not
target merely municipality-wide issues, but nationwide problems that are common to the
citizens of the Philippines. In this case, the beneficiaries can be involved in these common
organizations even if they migrate from one island group to another. These organizations
could establish different regional branches across different island groups, and the
representatives of these organizations from each region could meet for the organization
meetings. This also promotes social cohesion and social capital in the country since
members from different regions will be given the chance to interact with one another, with
which they could share their communitys problems and solutions with individuals from
Specifically, the researchers propose for DSWD to include in their 4Ps Family
Development Sessions (a requirement for 4Ps beneficiaries) publicity campaigns and mini-
symposiums in order to inform the citizens about the community organizations available
for them; from these they would be aware on the organization goals and requirements.
DSWD can partner up with these organizations and help them promote their advocacies to
4Ps beneficiaries. This would encourage 4Ps beneficiaries to be involved in civic activities.

The targeting approach of 4Ps is mainly through Proxy Means Test. Although
Geographical Targeting is being used in choosing beneficiaries, the researchers suggest that
DSWD considers the differences in the demographics of the different island groups. For
instance, Luzon areas are more urbanized, while areas in Mindanao tend to be rural. Hence,
the poverty status of the poor in Luzon might be different form the poverty status in
Mindanao.
In the case of this study, statistics show that beneficiaries in Mindanao are poorer
than the beneficiaries in Luzon. Since the 4Ps targets the poorest of the poor, then this
indicates that the poorest household in Mindanao are poorer than the poorest households in
Luzon. This is observed from the differences in asset ownership and household
attainment of the household heads. Hence, the researchers of this study suggest that the

In addition, the researchers also recommend the use of a more updated Family

Ever since the 4Ps has been implemented throughout the Philippines, it can be said
that the CCT program has been instrumental not only in terms of alleviating poverty, but
also in terms of motivating the average Filipino to be aware and to participate and
contribute to the community where he or she lives in. Although the reduction of poverty
was the pertinent issue surrounding the implementation of the program itself, the program
also brought about unintended consequences with regard to the beneficiaries civic
Despite this, the scope and breadth of the programs social impact has remained
relatively unknown until now. This is due to many factors that include, but are not limited
to, geographical considerations due to the archipelagic nature of the Philippines, as well as
cultural and demographic factors that vary among households that encompass Luzon,
Visayas and Mindanao. Hence, this study sought to bridge the gaps that these factors

wider scale by taking into account more municipalities across different provinces in order
to draw more accurate and unbiased results. Furthermore, given that the 4Ps was only
recently implemented, data with regard to the beneficiaries of the program across time was
not readily available for this study. Hence, a comprehensive time-series analysis can be
done in the future when more data is available, in order to better observe the effects of the
