MANILA, Philippines — Agri Rep. Wilbert Lee urged the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Saturday to expedite the process of increasing the cash grant under its Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), instead of making the beneficiaries wait two more years for the approval of several bills seeking such a hike in government assistance. 'If the cash grant can be increased, let's not make (the beneficiaries) wait longer,' Lee said. 'It may take until 2025 before the beneficiaries get the increased aid if we wait for the measures on higher 4Ps cash grants to be enacted into law,' he added.
