Makati City Mayor Nancy Binay personally led the house-to-house distribution of unclaimed cash incentives to over 12,000 elderly Blu Card holders who missed receiving them last year due to a lack of cellphones or inactive GCash accounts.
The mayor assured residents that the cash aid would be delivered directly to their homes to avoid any difficulties.
Beneficiaries expressed gratitude, especially since no GCash account is now required to claim the incentives.
Under City Ordinance No. 2025-104, cash aid ranges from ₱4,000 to ₱12,000 depending on the senior citizen’s age, with special recognition for centenarians.
As of June 2025, Makati has 54,017 active Blu Card holders eligible for these benefits.
