Valenzuela centenarians get cash incentives
The City of Valenzuela, led by Mayor Wes Gatchalian, on Wednesday granted cash incentives worth P50,000 to 12 centenarians in celebration of the Elderly Filipino Week. As mandated by Proclamation No. 470, every month of October is the celebration of “Elderly Filipino Week” which aims to recognize the valuable contributions of Filipino senior citizens over the years and extend support to their needs. Centenarians were set to receive the said incentive once every year, and its distribution to qualified centenarians was by virtue of Ordinance No. 300, series of 2016. It was amended by Ordinance No. 652, series of 2020, which raises the cash incentive from P20,000 to P50,000 due to economic considerations. The 12 centenarian residents came from barangays Bagbaguin, Canumay West, Coloong, Karuhatan, Malinta, Mapulang Lupa, Ugong, and Wawang Pulo. Reportedly, there were five 100-year-olds, two 101-year-olds, one 102-year-old, three 103-year-olds, and the oldest senior citizen, a 104-year-old elderly woman named Marta Matus. Aside from financial grants, the city government also ensured that all benefits and other appropriate measures were given to senior citizens to support their needs and secure their well-being.

Senate approves expanded coverage of Centenarian law
Senators on Monday approved on the third and final reading a measure seeking the expanded coverage of monetary benefits to 80-year-old and 90-year-old Filipinos under the Centenarian Law. The Senate Bill 2028 or Expanding the Coverage of the Centenarians Act, Filipino senior citizens living in the Philippines or abroad shall be granted P10,000 upon reaching 80 years old, P20,000 upon reaching 90 years old, and P100,000 upon reaching 100 years old. The bill was sponsored by Senator Imee Marcos and introduced by Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III. Marcos pegged life expectancy among Filipinos at 79 years for men and 83 years for women. "The rising cost of living and healthcare expenses has made it very difficult for our senior citizens to afford basic necessities...it is hoped that more of our elderly population may be able to benefit from the Centenarians Act and that they may be inspired to further prolong and enjoy their lives even beyond a century," Marcos said. Citing data from the Philippine Statistics Authority data, Senator Win Gatchalian said there were some 7.5 million senior citizens in the country in 2015, of which, around 10 percent or 790,000 were estimatedly aged 80 to 90 years old. Once the measure is enacted, Gatchalian noted that senior citizens will be able to receive a cash gift, totaling P100,000 in three equal tranches. Senator Ramon Revilla Jr., the bill’s co-author and co-sponsor, said passage of the bill in the Senate serves as a testimony to the special Filipino culture of providing for the elderly. Revilla noted the cash gift should be advanced “so that our elderly can still enjoy it as many beneficiaries are too old to enjoy the cash gift they receive.” Under the present law, only those who reach the age of 100 enjoy the benefit of the P100,000 cash gift. The proposed measure stipulates that beneficiaries are eligible to receive their cash gifts within 1 year of reaching the ages of 80, 90, and 100. The adjustment, to be determined by the National Economic and Development Authority, will be based on the average annual inflation in the preceding three years. NEDA will be tasked to consider inflation when dividing the cash gift into three payments. Gatchalian said the P100,000 cash gift, which will be equally distributed in three tranches to octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians will help pay their living expenses, medicines, healthcare, and other necessities. SB 2028 also mandates the Philippine Statistics Authority, in coordination with the Departments of Interior and Local Government, Information and Communications Technology, and the local government units, to establish a data management system recording relevant information of individuals covered by the Act.

Bill gifting P1M to 101-year-old Pinoys passed
The House of Representatives has approved on the third and final reading the bill gifting Filipinos who reach the age of 101 a cool P1 million in cash. Garnering 257 votes, the bill improved on the previous law giving P100,000 incentives to those 100 years of age. House Bill 7535 will also grant Filipino citizens P25,000 upon reaching 80, 85, 90, and 95 whether they are living here or abroad. Those 101 years old will likewise get greetings from the president of the Philippines. Through the legislation, the House “would like to honor our countrymen for their years of service to the country and for their discipline in ensuring that they live a long, healthy, and fruitful life,” said Speaker Martin Romualdez. “Of course, we also want our octogenarians and nonagenarians to enjoy this benefit while they still can without having to wait until 101 years old, so we also provided a cash gift for them,” he added. National Commission of Senior Citizens is set to implement the measure when it formally becomes law. Senior Citizens party-list Rep. Rodolfo Ordanes said the new grant will not only help the centenarians’ families financially but also bolster the morale of the elderly. There are an estimated 662 Filipino centenarians, according to the Department of Social Welfare and Development. Aside from Ordanes, the other principal authors of the bill are Representatives Jude Acidre, Sonny Lagon, Daphne Lagon, Brian Yamsuan, PM Vargas, Toby Tiangco, Salvador Pleyto, Roy Loyola, LRay Villafuerte, Loreto Amante, Jam Baronda, Eric Yap, Edvic Yap, Paolo Duterte, Migs Nograles, Lani Mercado-Revilla, and Gus Tambunting.
