The Bacolod City Council has approved a resolution urging Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez to increase the monthly allowance of senior citizen chapter presidents from P500 to P1,000. The resolution was authored by Councilor Celia Matea Flor, chairperson of the City Council’s committee on senior citizens and veterans affairs.

She said the current allowance of P500 per month provided to the senior citizen chapter presidents is no longer sufficient to cover the costs associated with their increasing workload and the rising cost of transportation and communication as well as to compensate for their time.
