Demonstrating its commitment to senior citizens, the Surigao City government has launched the Milestone Program of Distinction (MPD), providing a one-time PHP50,000 cash benefit to residents aged 90 to 99.

The initiative aligns with Republic Act No. 11982, also known as the Expanded Centenarians Act.

Ordinance No. 529-2024, the local legislation behind the MPD, earmarks the PHP50,000 financial assistance for each eligible nonagenarian residing in Surigao City.

Seventeen nonagenarians initially received their cash benefits Monday.

The City Information Office said in a statement that a total of 152 nonagenarians have been identified as potential beneficiaries — 34 verified in the first quarter and 19 with necessary documentation to claim their benefits.

“This program is a recognition of the invaluable contributions and enduring legacies of our senior citizens who have played a vital role in shaping Surigao City,” the information office said.

The city government is actively encouraging families of nonagenarians who have not yet claimed the benefit to reach out to the City Social Welfare and Development Office for assistance with the documentation process. (PNA)
