The activity was graced by the 4Ps NCR Cash Grant Unit Head, Cecilia Romana and Landbank Senior Vice Presidents representing the north, south, and central clusters in Metro Manila: Delma Bandiola, Althon Ferolino, and Marilou Villafranca, respectively.

The consultation aimed to provide updates on the progress of the 4Ps implementation in the region and facilitate a productive exchange of ideas between Landbank and 4Ps NCR.

The discussions were focused on ensuring the smooth execution of the Memorandum of Agreement and the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) between the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and Landbank of the Philippines, specifically pertaining to the distribution of cash cards to the 4Ps beneficiaries in NCR.

Meanwhile, Ms. Romano expressed “This dialogue presents a valuable opportunity for us to strengthen our partnership with Landbank and align our strategies for the benefit of the 4Ps beneficiaries in Metro Manila.”
