The cash gift is one of the benefits of the Eusebio administration aimed at giving importance to elderly citizens who have played a role in the city’s development.
Conceptualized by Sangguniang Panglungsod Committee on Social Services, chaired by Councilor Bobby Eusebio, the city’s program for its senior citizens also provides free medical treatment at the Pasig City General Hospital.
Likewise, they also get to watch movies for free at the Robinsons Movie World and Ever Gotesco cinemas in the city. This is the second year that the city government has given a cash gift to its senior citizens.
"To some people, P1,000 may be just a small amount of money but to our senior citizens, it’s more than the cash, it is the concern and the service that we provide that matters most to them," Mayor Eusebio said.
