of Marichris. As per phone call interview, Marichris is selling variety of stuffs
online and earns around 100 to 200 pesos in a day, depending on someone’s
order/s. According to her, she needs to earn in order to have an extra income.
Since the extra income of Gerald from being a tattoo artist is not enough
because, he has no regular client and the income is too small to support family’s
daily needs.

The family, on the other hand, is a DSWD Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino

Program (4ps) beneficiary. Every quarter, the family receives Php 2,000.00 for
health, education, and basic needs. Janelle, their oldest daughter, is the

their financial needs and meet the family's necessities. The children are in good
health and are not affected by the pandemic. Spiritually, they are attending

land a job in the future. In addition the undersigned also recommends the client
to be a social amelioration program (SAP) beneficiary, which could ameliorate
the living condition of the family for the mean time.
