00:00The senior citizens of Binan Laguna received a pension of several months.

00:05This is the story of Louisa Erispe.

00:10Christmas is known as a happy occasion for the youth.

00:15They can give gifts and different types of Aguinaldo.

00:19But some local governments, not only the children, want to make this Christmas happy.

00:24Even the elderly want to put a big smile on their faces.

00:29That's why in Binan Laguna, the local government divided the pension to 18,500 senior citizens of Lungson.

00:39Not all LGUs can give this.

00:42For us, especially the senior citizens, PWD and solo parents, we have a program for them.

00:51We will improve the services for PWD, solo parents, senior citizens and health services for Lungson.

00:59Each senior citizen received P3,000, which is equivalent to their pension from July to December.

01:07Aside from the pension they receive from the national government,

01:11the mother is one of those who received almost half of her husband's pension.

01:18Ania, this is just right for Christmas.

01:20Thank you very much.

01:22I'm happy that my situation is like this.

01:28There's no discrimination.

01:30I have to buy medicine because there's a shortage of medicine.

01:34And if there's too much, I will give it to my grandchildren.

01:42The LGU said that they will divide the local pension not only because of the election.

01:47The LGU has been planning this program for a long time and they passed it as an ordinance.

01:52The LGU also plans to apply for an exemption from the spending ban in the upcoming election.

01:58Maybe next month, early next month, we will apply for an exemption from our programs.

02:04And this pension is included.

02:05Or else, we will give this before the election ban begins.

02:09Because this is regular.

02:12We have been doing this for a long time.

02:14The senior citizens will look for it.

02:16But we will never use this as a political tool.

02:20The Commission on Elections said that there is no problem if the LGU will help

02:26because premature campaigning is no longer prohibited.

02:29They will just buy from those who will run in the upcoming election period.

02:34This is already avoided because they may be disqualified.

02:37Meanwhile, yesterday, the Comelec and the National Bureau of Investigation signed an agreement

02:43for the creation of a task force against giving

02:46The Commission will also look at ways to vote-buy using digital wallets like GCash, Paymaya, and others.
