Quezon City District 5 Congressman Patrick Michael “PM” Vargas played a key role in championing the Expanded Centenarian Act, now Republic Act No. 11982, which enhances benefits for Filipino seniors. This new law provides PHP 10,000 cash gifts to those who reach milestone ages of 80, 85, 90, and 95, alongside a PHP 100,000 gift for those who turn 100. Vargas’s initiative aims to honor the elderly and ensure they receive recognition and support throughout their later years. The Act also mandates an Elderly Data Management System to streamline services for seniors. Vargas’s leadership underscores a commitment to the well-being of the elderly, celebrating their contributions and legacy.
