Hello. My grandmother 72, was not given the benefits for senior citizen she was declined by the brgy officials in our province saying that she should not be included because she is SSS pensioner, which i don’t think is fair. For some towns, all senior citizens were given the same benefits. How can we go about this?
good day po! my mother is a senior citizen who wasnot given the benefit for senior specifically the monitary assistance. brgy officials reasoned out that she has children with work; i do not know the reason behind this idea, we her children have our own families too plus the fact that we are aged too, she is seperated from our father for so long ang neither is she a pensioner. She only depends on any assistance that we can give her, we would be very glad if you can grant her the monitary assistance too which other cities extend to their seniors. Please help us also so she can enjoy this, thank you so much!
