About 1,077 seniors aged 80 to 95 years in this city are expected to receive cash aid after President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. signed into law Republic Act (RA) 11982 granting benefits to octogenarians and nonagenarians in February.

Liza Bulayungan, chief of the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), in a media interview on Wednesday, said there are 848 citizens aged 80 to 89 years, and 229 residents aged 90 to 99 years here.

RA 11982, signed last Feb. 26, grants PHP10,000 cash gift for Filipinos, residing in the Philippines or abroad, when they turn 80, 85, 90 and 95 years old. The beneficiaries will still receive PHP100,000 upon reaching 100 years old.

“The office advises octogenarians and nonagenarians in the city who will benefit from the law to wait for further advice as to how they can avail of the incentive,” she said, adding they are still waiting for the law’s implementing rules and regulations (IRR). (PNA)
