4Ps recipients told: Avoid loan sharks

THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program's (4Ps) national management office, urged all beneficiaries on Saturday to avoid dealing with loan sharks or pawning their cash cards.

"We conduct a spot check during family development sessions to see if the 4Ps beneficiaries should bring their ATM because that [pawning of cash card] is not allowed. They can be delisted from the program," program manager Gemma Gabuya said.
