Makati City is continuing to distribute cash incentives to Blu Card holders who failed to receive their benefits last year, Mayor Nancy Binay said.
“As promised, their cash incentives are being delivered at their doorstep. This is to ensure they receive it personally without hassles or glitches,” she said.
Binay led the distribution to 40 senior citizens in Barangay Guadalupe Viejo on August 15. The program has since reached beneficiaries in Guadalupe Nuevo, Kasilawan, Pinagkaisahan, Carmona, Valenzuela, and Singkamas. Distribution schedules for the remaining barangays will be announced soon.
More than 12,000 elderly residents were unable to receive their incentives last year due to lack of mobile phones or failure to update their GCash accounts. Under City Ordinance No. 2025-104, every active Blu Card member is entitled to cash incentives in two equal installments: P4,000 for ages 60–69, P5,000 for 70–79, P6,000 for 80–89, P11,000 for 90–99, and P12,000 for those aged 101 and above. Centenarians continue to receive P100,000 and a plaque of appreciation.
As of June 2025, there are 54,017 active Blu Card holders in the city. Binay said the program aims to ease the burden on senior citizens and ensure they get their rightful benefits without difficulty.
