BATANGAS CITY - Six Batangueño centenarians or individuals aged one hundred years and above were given an incentive by the Batangas Provincial Government on May 10, 2021, at the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, Capitol Site, Batangas City.
Petra Garcia Palicpic of Banyaga, Agoncillo; Luisa Punzalan Banawa of Pamiga, Agoncillo; Juan Orbita Gagalang of Niyugan, Laurel; Natividad Manto Alcantara of Talaga, Tanauan City; Aurora Gonzales Zaballero of Poblacion, San Juan; and, Narciso Austria Royo of Sico 2, San Juan received twenty thousand pesos.
The award was given to 4 Batangueñas and 2 Batangueños, in collaboration with the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO), led by Mrs. Joy Montalbo, and the Provincial Office for Senior Citizen Affairs (POSCA) in the government's towns and cities of the province.
The said work is among the programs promoted by Gov. Dodo Mandanas to care for and pay attention to senior citizens, particularly those reaching the age of 100 and above.
According to a study by the Philippine Statistics Authority, only a small portion of the Philippine population lives up to a hundred years. For this reason, the government deserves to honor and provide assistance and support to the Filipino and Filipina centreas.
The honored senior citizens were indented by the Social Welfare and Development Office of their respective local government units, along with the corresponding Birth Certificate, Barangay Residency, photo, and copy of their Senior Citizen ID.
