Over 4k families graduate from 4Ps in Ilocos Region

A total of 4,238 beneficiary families graduated from the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s (DSWD) Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in the Ilocos Region between August and October 2026, the DSWD Field Office 1 said.

The families came from communities across all four provinces of the region. In La Union, graduates included families from Bagulin, Burgos, Agoo, Luna, San Juan, Santo Tomas, Santol and Sudipen. In Ilocos Sur, they came from Santa, Alilem, Santa Lucia and Santa Maria. Batac City was represented in Ilocos Norte.

In Pangasinan, the graduating families came from Dagupan City and the municipalities of Balungao, Bugallon, Santa Barbara, Alcala, Binmaley, Pozorrubio and Santa Maria.

The program’s graduation marks the completion of participating families’ time as 4Ps beneficiaries. The DSWD said that when families graduate, openings can be made for other households that need support.

The agency described 4Ps as a bridge toward more stable living conditions and better prospects for families. The latest graduates reflect the program’s reach across cities and municipalities in the Ilocos Region, the DSWD Field Office 1 said.
