In line with the agency’s campaign to promote financial literacy, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has reiterated its call for beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to become members of the Social Security System (SSS) and avail of its low-cost social insurance.
During the 17th episode of the DSWD’s online program “4Ps Fastbreak” aired on Wednesday ( January 22), the 4Ps Social Marketing Division Chief (DC) Marie Grace Ponce emphasized the advantage of the 4Ps AlkanSSSya Program.
“Sa AlkanSSSya Program ay tinuturuan natin yung ating mga beneficiaries na makapag-ipon, mag-impok at maghulog doon sa kanilang SSS kasi ito ay social insurance para makatulong sa kanila kung sakaling may magka-sakit, sa panganganak, burial assistance, at iba pa,” DC Ponce said during the discussion in the weekly online program.
The DSWD and the SSS signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) in July 2024 which provides for the creation of a contribution subsidy table tailored for 4Ps beneficiaries.
The table is based on an actuarial study conducted by the SSS and the beneficiaries’ actual ability to pay the minimum monthly amount of Php570.
The SSS monthly premium will be shouldered by the beneficiaries themselves.
The 4Ps beneficiaries who are members of workers’ associations, informal sector groups (ISG), and Sustainable Livelihood Program Associations (SLPA) will also be covered by the partnership.
“Ang gusto natin ma-sustain nila yung pagbabago na nakuha nila mula sa programa at hindi na sila muling bumalik pa sa kahirapan,” DC Ponce pointed out.
Interested 4Ps beneficiaries may contact the SSS or their city or municipal links for more details on the AlkanSSSya Program.
The ‘4Ps Fastbreak’ is hosted by Information Officer Venus Balito of the Strategic Communication Group’s Digital Media Service (DMS) and is aired every Wednesday, 11 am, using the DSWD’s Facebook platform. (AKDL)

DSWD muling hinimok mga miyembro ng 4Ps na sumali sa AlkanSSSya program ng SSS
Muling hinimok ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) ang mga benepisyaryo ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) na maging myembro ng Social Security System (SSS) at i-avail ang low-cost social insurance nito.
Sa ika-17th episode ng DSWD online program na “4Ps Fastbreak” nitong Miyerkules ( January 22), sinabi ni 4Ps Social Marketing Division Chief (DC) Marie Grace Ponce ang kagandahan ng 4Ps AlkanSSSya Program.
“Sa AlkanSSSya Program ay tinuturuan natin yung ating mga beneficiaries na makapag-ipon, mag-impok at maghulog doon sa kanilang SSS kasi ito ay social insurance para makatulong sa kanila kung sakaling may magka-sakit, sa panganganak, burial assistance, at iba pa,” sabi ni DC Ponce.
Matatandaan na noong July 2024, lumagda ang DSWD at SSS sa isang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) para sa pagkakaroon ng contribution subsidy table na nakalaan para sa mga 4Ps beneficiaries.
Ang contribution subsidy table ay ibinase sa kapasidad ng mga benepisyaryo ng 4Ps para sa pagbabayad ng buwanang hulog na Php570.
Ang SSS monthly premium ay solong babayaran ng mga 4Ps beneficiaries.
Kasama sa partnership na ito ang mga 4Ps beneficiaries na myembro ng workers’ associations, informal sector groups (ISG), at Sustainable Livelihood Program Associations (SLPA).
“Ang gusto natin ma-sustain nila yung pagbabago na nakuha nila mula sa programa at hindi na sila muling bumalik pa sa kahirapan,” paglilinaw ni DC Ponce.
Para naman sa mga 4Ps beneficiaries na interesadong sumali at maging myembro ng programa ay maaaring makipagugnayan sa SSS o maging sa city or municipal links para sa iba pang detalye kaugnay ng AlkanSSSya Program. # (MVC)
