Navotas’ elderly to get P500 birthday gift

MANILA, Philippines — Starting next year, registered senior citizens in Navotas City will get a birthday gift of P500.

Mayor Toby Tiangco on Monday signed City Ordinance No. 2019-15, or the “NavoRegalo Para sa mga Lola at Lolo,” saying it was the government’s way of thanking and showing appreciation for their contributions.

To qualify, they should show proof that they are registered voters of the city and present their senior citizen’s ID card issued by the city social welfare and development office. —Meg Adonis
