“Ang usa sa mga reklamo na gipadangat mao ang ubang D.O. [disbursing officers], tungod sa kadaghanon sa ilang tahas, ang ubang bedridden senior citizens di na mahatdan sa ilang financial assistance,” Alcover, who is also the chairman of the city’s senior citizen council, said. The city government registered 4,600 bedridden senior citizens out of the 88,564 total qualified senior citizens for this quarter.The city’s Office of the Senior Citizens’ Affairs scheduled the cash distribution in the barangays from March 16 to 18, Thursday until Saturday, for the assistance covering January, February, and March this year.
Association of Barangay Councils President, and Councilor Franklyn Ong noted the city government does not allow authorization of family members to claim the assistance of bedridden senior citizens because it had been a subject to abuse.
