2 ex-4Ps students top teachers’ exam“The department extends its congratulations to former 4Ps monitored children Chariz Ann Lucero and Clyde Zeph Payusan for demonstrating that effective government interventions, combined with hard work and dedication, can help achieve our mission of breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty,” DSWD spokesperson Irene Dumlao said in a statement. Lucero and Payusan emerged as the 7th and 9th top placers in the LET for secondary and elementary levels, respectively. Passing the LET is a requirement for people to become licensed professional teachers in the country. This is a big opportunity to change my life and our family,” said Lucero, a native of San Vicente town in Ilocos Sur. According to Dumlao, the performance of the two former 4Ps monitored children “serve as proof of the government’s commitment to inclusive growth and human capital development.”
