Senior Citizens partylist Rep. Francisco Datol Jr. is proposing that the cash reward of P100,000 being given to centenarians under the law, be granted
He filed House Bill No. 5717 to amend the three-year old Republic Act No. 10868, or the Centenarians Act, to provide nonagenarians a cash gift amounting to P90,000 on their 90th birthday.
“This advanced monetary benefit would be most likely needed by nonagenarians for their maintenance medicines and healthy food to further prolong their lives even beyond a century,” Datol said. He said it was most likely that it was their children or grandchildren who would end up benefitting from the benefits provided by the Centenarians Act.
The P10,000 balance shall be given when he or she will reach 100 years old, together with a letter of felicitation from the President of the Republic of the Philippines congratulating the celebrant for his or her longevity, it provides.
