Senator Alan Peter Cayetano is urging the Department of Social Welfare and Development to reassess the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program due to concerns about child stunting in the Philippines.
He pointed out that inadequate early childcare and prenatal interventions are major factors contributing to the high stunting rates in the country. Cayetano cited statistics from UNICEF, stating that 95 children in the Philippines die every day from malnutrition, and 27 out of every 1,000 Filipino children do not survive past their fifth birthday.
Cayetano emphasized that “DSWD should monitor not only compliance but also whether the program is truly improving children’s nutrition.”
