Since $\\le_P$ has two comparable pairs of elements, $(c,a)$ and $(b,a)$, there are two constraints that $\\phi$ must satisfy to be considered monotone. Since $c \\leq_P a$, we need $\\phi(c) = u \\leq_Q t = \\phi(a)$. This is, in fact, the case. Also, since $b \\leq_P a$, we need $\\phi(b) = t \\leq_Q t = \\phi(a)$.
