The Department of Social Welfare and Development, National Capital Region (DSWD-NCR) had delisted a total of 1,180 beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program as of December 31, 2011. DSWD-NCR Regional Director, Ma. Alicia S. Bonoan said that those delisted were non-compliant and undeserving household beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilya. Bonoan said that the Grievance Redress System (GRS) of the program attends to complaints and queries from the public, beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries regarding the inclusion and exclusion errors in identifying the program beneficiaries. “Those that we deleted from the list of beneficiaries underwent reassessment and revalidation to ensure that those who will be removed from the program are non-compliant and “not poor” households,” Bonoan added. Based on the Regional GRS data, the beneficiaries that were removed from the list were those who have stable income, classified as non-poor, double entries and fraud. Others had voluntarily waived their membership after knowing that they will not pass the eligibility requirements.
