AGRI party-list Rep. Wilbert Lee called on his colleagues in the House of Representatives, the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the lead agency of the National Advisory Council (NAC), in the midst of ongoing discussions on the suggested measures to raise cash grants for Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) beneficiaries.

'If we wait for the proposal to be passed, it may be until 2025 before the recipients may enjoy a potential increase in cash grants,' Lee said in a statement on Friday.
