TRIBUNE: Noynoy's flagship anti-poverty scheme, the so-called conditional cash transfer (CCT) program, is targeting an expansion of coverage through the P63 billion that is being requested for its funding next year, P5 billion of which just for administrative expenses. Periodic surveys on self-rated poverty and hunger incidents would be good gauges on the dole-out scheme. The number of Filipino families who responded to such surveys, however, indicate that they felt to be in worse state than the previous year. Even the basic form of indicator, which is the incident of hunger, the program can be considered a miserable failure since those saying that they go hungry at least once a day have increased substantially, based on what a pollster - one whom the Palace says spends a lot of money on for support.
