Tatanggap ng monthly P1,000 stipend simula sa susunod na buwan ang mga mahihirap na senior citizen na benepisyaryo ng programang Social Pension ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), ayon kay DSWD Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez na inihayag ngayong Lunes.
Doble ang taas ng halagang ito kaysa sa P500 na matagal nang tinatanggap ng mga mahihirap na senior citizen bago ang nasabing pagtaas.
“We expect that the distribution of the social pension for the first semester with its increased amount will commence this February 2024,” pahayag ni Lopez.
“The social pension is provided to eligible and qualified indigent senior citizens to augment their daily subsistence and address their medical needs,” paliwanag pa niya.
Idinagdag pa niya na itinuturing na ‘eligible’ para sa programa ang mga senior citizen kung hindi sila kabilang sa mga tumatanggap na ng pensyon mula sa Social Security System, Government Service Insurance System, Philippine Veterans Affairs Office, Armed Forces and Police Mutual Benefit Association, Inc., o alinmang private insurance company.
