To alleviate poverty in the Philippines, the government implemented the PantawidPamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) which has been patterned from the Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) Programs from other countries. This study sought to determine the recipients’ profile and its relationship to their perceived program implementation in terms of its policy and objectives through a descriptive correlational study. Thirty-nine recipients from one public elementary school answered the questionnaire based on the PantawidPamilya Guide Booklet by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Statistical tools such as eta correlation coefficient, Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient, and Goodman and Kruskal’s gamma were used to establish the relationship between the recipients’ profile and perceived extent of implementation at 5% level of significance. The recipients’ profile was determined using mean, percentages, and frequency distribution. The results revealed that the program’s health and education policies and its social assistance and development objectiveswere perceived to be implemented, however, only a few profile factors were significant to the recipients’ perceived program implementation.
