The Pasig City local government announced on Saturday that it has already distributed Christmas cash gifts to its senior citizens as the Yuletide season draws near.
In a Facebook post, the Pasig City Public Information Office (PIO) said that all senior citizens holding ATM/cash cards may now withdraw their cash gifts in all ATMs of LandBank or any bank member of BancNet.
Should there be any problem in withdrawing the money, the PIO urged the public to visit the LandBank C. Raymundo branch for their concerns.
Earlier, the local government started the distribution of its "Pamaskong Handog", which is the city's annual holiday “ayuda”.
This year’s gift bags contain spaghetti noodles, pasta sauce, chicken or beef luncheon meat, mixed fruit cocktail, sweetened creamer, chocolate drink mix, corned tuna, elbow macaroni pasta, and mayonnaise pouch set.
A total of 375,000 gift bags will be distributed to families in Pasig City, 15,000 more compared to the 360,000 bags deployed last year.
