This, after the City Council on Tuesday, passed proposed ordinance SDO No. 163-2020 on its third and final reading, upping the allowance for the elderly from P1,500 to P2,000 quarterly.
Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) chief Abigail Ablaña said in a statement issued by the province that each individual received P3,000 covering the year 2019.
It came out during the hearing that part of the process in the granting of allowances to senior beneficiaries is that they have to be registered voters of Puerto Princesa City. During the inquiry, city officials in charge of the program justified this as a necessary procedure to establish local residency on the part of the beneficiary.
