Councilor Gild O. Go represented City Mayor Rolando A. Uy during the nationwide cash gift distribution and caravan of services for expanded centenarians in celebration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s birthday.

The activity, held on September 13, 2025, at the City Tourism Hall forms part of the government’s continuing program to recognize the invaluable contributions of senior citizens to society, as mandated under Republic Act No. 10868 or the Centenarians Act of 2016, which grants privileges and benefits to citizens reaching the age of 100 and beyond.

As the senior citizens committee chair of the City Council, Councilor Go reaffirmed the city government’s commitment to honor and care for the elderly sector, noting that the centenarians’ lifelong dedication and sacrifices have paved the way for the development enjoyed by the present generation.

She likewise conveyed Mayor Uy’s greetings and gratitude to the beneficiaries and their families, assuring them of the City’s sustained support through its various programs and services for senior citizens.

The event was graced by Regional Director Mary Jean H. Asum and Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) Head Douglas Dabatian, who joined Councilor Go in personally handing over the assistance.

They emphasized the importance of collaboration between national agencies, local governments, and community stakeholders in ensuring that programs for senior citizens are efficiently implemented.

The Caravan of Services also showcased complementary support services from partner agencies, underscoring the government’s holistic approach to promoting the well-being and dignity of senior citizens. (JAO/SP/Photos from Councilor Go’s FB)
