Micro Scarcity Group's comment about 4P's (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program)

        "Every Filipino wants economic growth for our country. The PNoy government want to eradicate poverty and

help the poor families. Too much help for the filipino poor citizen would result to a negative effect, One of this is, 

The effect of being over dependence of  the family to this program and it will make an habit to them for wait for the

cash allowance instead of working.
