Gatchalian: '[W]e’re talking about people who have reached 100 years old and a lot of them bed ridden na ho, hindi na makaalis. May mga requirements ho na hindi na practical like school records. How do you submit a school record di ba?”
But as Gatchalian discovered from his constituents, such a reward has a prerequisite: one must have a school record.
“Hindi natin alam either nasunog na yun nabaha na lalo na sa Bulacan. So my point of the matter there is although I’m one of the authors of this bill, we need to also resolve the distribution both in terms of efficiency and also practicality,” he said But according to Miramel Laxa, officer-in-charge of the Department of Social Welfare and Development’s program management bureau, the only requirement now is the birth certificate or an affidavit of the centenarian or the beneficiary’s eldest child.Marcos interjected, saying that while the requirement may be simple, funding source remains a problem.
If funding is the problem, then the government should inform the centenarians so they don’t have to go back and forth to claim the cash gift, Gatchalian said, noting that another constituent has been waiting for his cash gift since 2021.
