The delisting was done through DSWD-7’s grievance redress system, said Kerwin Macopia, the Pantawid Information Officer of DSWD-7. Macopia added that some were disqualified after complaints surfaced that a household beneficiary was perceived to be non-poor based on actual household characteristics before program exposure.This year, the agency also received complaints against 50 household beneficiaries for misbehavior after pawning their 4Ps cash cards or ATMs.
Joan Florabel Felicio, 4Ps Regional Grievance Officer, said that under the law, household beneficiaries who would misuse or pawn their grant would face verbal warning for the first offense, suspension of the grant for one period or the equivalent of two months, and progressive disciplining in the second offense, and recommendation of delisting with no right to appeal in the third offense.
