Paragraph 2. Statement of Principles. It is stated that it is the responsibility of the Government to establish a comprehensive programme of social welfare services aimed at improving the living conditions of needy Filipinos, especially those who are disabled by poverty, youth, physical and mental disability, sickness and old age, or who are victims of natural disasters, including assistance to persons belonging to cultural minorities in order to facilitate their integration into the political sphere, Communities to be facilitated. Since the 16th century. In March, the government imposed various types of quarantines and lockdowns to contain the spread of the virus. Among the reported abuses, local authorities put curfew violations in dog cages or sit them in the summer sun for hours as a form of punishment. Two children arrested after curfew were placed in a coffin by local authorities. In April, three LGBT people were charged by the authorities with violating the curfew. The officials humiliated her by forcing her to dance and kiss in public.

Many people arrested for violating Covid-19 regulations have been thrown into overcrowded detention centres where social distancing is impossible, increasing their risk of contracting the virus. The text of many Philippine laws can be found on the following pages: The Philippine Senate passed a Conditional Cash Transfer Bill in February 2019, which will institutionalize the 4 Ps CCT program in the country and ensure its continuity and sustainability as a key instrument of social protection. The Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in East Asia and the Pacific. However, poverty has slowly declined and remains high at 21.6 percent. Poverty in the Philippines is concentrated in rural areas and vulnerability to poverty due to factors such as disaster risk is a major concern. Ongoing typhoons and floods are having devastating economic and social effects. Violent conflicts in parts of the country, including Mindanao, have also disrupted the provision of basic services and led to low investment in human capital. Prior to the implementation of the project in 2009, poor children`s poor poor children`s poor health and education outcomes were largely due to low spending on human development and social services, particularly health and social assistance programmes. a fragmented approach to protecting the poor and vulnerable; and the lack of an effective and objective system for identifying poor and vulnerable households.

Philippine laws have had different nomenclature designations at different points in Philippine history, as shown in the following table: To support government social protection reform initiatives, the World Bank has leveraged its institutional knowledge and expertise to design and implement large-scale conditional cash transfers and target systems around the world. Successive CCT projects in the Philippines have adopted a programmatic approach that also uses technical assistance to build the targeting system and the CCT to what it is today – a strong social protection system that has become the centerpiece of the government`s social protection strategy. The projects supported the development of an objective and rigorous national budget targeting system called Listahanan to better guide social programmes implemented by the Ministry of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and other government agencies. Listahanan is used to identify poor households for the CTC program and other government programs. Through a systemic approach, other national agencies, local governments, legislators and civil society can provide assistance where it is needed most, in a transparent and fair manner. This article contains a partial list of Philippine laws. The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino program has become a cornerstone of social protection reforms in the Philippines, helping poor families keep their children healthier and in school through a conditional cash transfer program. In September, members of the US Congress introduced the Philippine Human Rights Act, which aims to suspend US defense and security assistance to the Philippines for human rights abuses until the administration implements significant reforms. To lift the suspension, the US secretary of state should certify that the government adequately investigated and successfully prosecuted military and police officers who violated human rights. withdraw the army from the internal police; and established effective protection for trade unionists, journalists, human rights defenders and government critics.

The poverty registry (called Listahanan) was an important tool to reach beneficiaries and give credibility to the 4Ps program. The Department of Social Welfare and Development created Listahanan in 2009 and updated it in 2015 after massive efforts to conduct a census of about 75% of the Filipino population. Using indirect means testing, this registry identified about 5.2 million households as poor. Of these, 4.4 million households were eligible for 4P and received 4P transfers. The poverty register has also become the main tool for managing the country`s social protection programmes. When the first phase of the World Bank project was completed in 2015, 25 other national social protection programs – including the subsidized health care system and the social pension for the elderly poor – were using Listahanan. That number has grown exponentially and now includes more than 1,000 local government agencies that use the registry to manage local programs. The case is one of many Ressa and Rappler face as part of the administration`s retaliatory campaign against media organizations for their coverage of the “murders of the war on drugs” and Duterte`s presidency. Since 2016, the president and his supporters have subjected Ressa and Rappler to threats and harassment on social media, including misogynistic attacks online. Paragraph 9.
