The House of Representatives on Tuesday pressed implementing agencies to expedite the fulfillment of the commitment to provide a P500 monthly grocery discount for millions of senior citizens and persons with disabilities by the end of March as the lower chamber is actively deliberating bills aimed at enhancing accessibility to maximum benefits for both groups.
Having attended the Speaker’s meeting with DTI Undersecretary Carolina Sanchez, Tulfo sought updates from the implementing agencies on the progress of the commitment. He emphasized that PhilHealth, with its existing funds and government subsidies, can afford to shoulder 50 percent of the hospitalization and professional fees, alleviating the financial burden on its members.
The House Committee on Ways and Means and the House Committee on Senior Citizens filed bills on the alignment of senior citizen and PWD benefits, clarification on the applicability of discounts during promotional sales, enabling the use of the National Tax Allotment for senior citizen and PWD programs, and the conversion of the National Council on Disability Affairs into a commission.
