COUNCILOR Gilda O. Go, chair of the committee on senior citizens, thanked the city government under Mayor Rolando Uy for facilitating cash gift distribution to three centenarian residents.
Each centenarian received ₱100,000 from the national government through the DSWD, in accordance with Republic Act No. 11982 or the Expanded Centenarians Act. In addition, they received another ₱100,000 from the City Government of Cagayan de Oro, as provided by a local ordinance.
The distribution was conducted house-to-house, as all three centenarians are no longer able to travel due to their advanced age. Councilor Go extended her appreciation to the distribution team composed of Retired PNP Captain Douglas Dabatian, Senior Citizen Focal Person Michael G. Carin, RSW, Special Program In-charge Judy Rose C. Ebanalo, and Expanded Centenarian In-charge Kristine Kaamino, all of whom played key roles in ensuring the smooth and efficient delivery of the cash gifts.
The activity was led by the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) under the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD), which continues to serve and support the city's senior. (JAO/SP/Photos from Councilor Go’s FB page)

GILAUMANG masolbad sulod ning tuiga ang wala ga-function nga CCTV cameras ug traffic lights sa syudad.
Kini ang gibutyag ni Konsehal Roger Abaday, chairman sa komite sa public order and safety, atol sa tigom sa komite sa public utilities nga gidumala ni Konsehal Eric Salcedo.
Sumala ni Abaday nga sa dugay nga panahon napasagdan ug wala mapusli ang CCTV ug traffic lights tungod kay walay insaktong nag-mintinar nga maoy hinungdan sa pagkadaot niini.
Siya midugang nga dugay nang nabayaran sa goberno local ang contractor sa maong CCTV ug traffic lights apan gikahingawa sa opisina sa Roads and Traffic Administration (RTA), City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Department (CDRRMD), ug City Engineering Office og kinsa ang mag-mintinar sa maong kabtangan.
Niini gitahasan sa komite ang nasangpit nga mga buhatan nga tun-an nila ang maong problema ug iduso ngadto ni Mayor Rolando Uy ang ilang rekomendasyon aron mapuslan ang maong CCTV ug traffic lights kay makatabang kini sa problema sa kapiot sa trapik sa Dakbayan. (MLR/SP)
