Senior Citizens Party-List Rep. Milagros Aquino-Magsaysay (center) joins elderly civic groups from the provinces in calling for the swift passage of the Expanded Social Pension Act (House Bill 5038), first filed by the late AKO Bicol Party-list Rep. Rodel Batocabe. The bill proposes to amend Republic Act 9994 to include all senior citizens not receiving any form of monthly pension, as well as those receiving a minimum monthly pension of P3,500 and below to receive a government stipend of P1,000 per month.
