The purpose of this research is to assess the impact of conditional cash transfers to the health of women and children in Payatas. More known in the Philippines as the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), it is a poverty reduction strategy that provides grants to extremely poor households to improve their health, nutrition, and education upon satisfaction of requirements of school attendance and health center visits. Children residing in Payatas who were both beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries were measured in terms of weight, height, and body mass index were measured to determine of the assistance of 4Ps helps in health improvement or not. Through monitoring these indicators, the researchers looked at the extent of the impact of the cash assistance program on the health of the residents of Payatas. It was found out that the 4Ps has a positive effect on the weight of beneficiaries showing an overall increase in weight in the span of three months. It was also observed that the incidence of thinness is lower for the beneficiaries, and cases of severe thinness were observed to be present only for the non-beneficiaries. The 4Ps also aided its beneficiaries by reducing their reliance on income as a means to finance their basic medical needs. However, non-beneficiaries displayed higher access to free basic health services such as immunization and pre-natal/post-natal check-ups given by the health center in Payatas.
