The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) XI, through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), will launch the “E-Panalo ang Kinabukasan: 4Ps Digital Financial Literacy Initiative” on September 12-13, 2025, at the Atrium Hall, New City Hall, Tagum City. This initiative aims to strengthen the digital and financial literacy of poor households by providing smartphones to selected beneficiaries. The smartphones will be provided to beneficiaries who opted to receive their grants via GCash, with the support of Globe Telecom. The two-day event will include intensive orientations on digital financial literacy and responsible mobile phone usage, as well as a ceremonial smartphone distribution and a graduation ceremony for 100 self-sufficient households from Tagum City, Davao del Norte. The initiative supports the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program Act (RA 11310) and the National Strategy for Financial Inclusion, and is expected to empower families to benefit from safe, secure, and responsible use of digital technology. The event will be attended by officials from the National and Regional Program Management Offices, representatives from partner organizations, and 4Ps beneficiaries.
