The Las Piñas City government released cash aid to 3,900 senior citizens across nine barangays as part of the first-quarter social pension program for 2026.
Las Piñas City Mayor April Aguilar said the payout, led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), was conducted at the Aguilar Sports Complex to ensure an orderly and efficient distribution.
A total of 1,700 beneficiaries from Barangays Talon Uno, Talon Singko, Talon Tres, and Pilar received P3,000 each during the initial payout.
Another 2,200 senior citizens from Barangays Ilaya, Pamplona Uno, Manuyo Dos, Daniel Fajardo, and Elias Aldana got their cash assistance on April 20.
Aguilar said the distribution was “smooth, organized, and fast,” allowing elderly beneficiaries to conveniently receive their allowance without long delays.
She said that the social pension under the DSWD program for indigent seniors aims to help cover daily expenses such as food, medicine, and other basic needs.
