In Barangay Punta Princesa alone, about 2,600 senior citizens are expected to benefit from the P2,000 cash assistance the city government provided to cover November and December. “Han-ay man siya. Naay ubang seniors nisayo g’yod mao to nga na delatar gamay kay pag-abot sa mga disbursing officers, nagprepare pa unya nahunong sila kadiyot pero sa ngadto dali ra sila nahuman,” he said.
As authorization letters are not allowed, Navarro said those who cannot claim their cash assistance on the first three days of the scheduled distribution at the barangay can claim their assistance at the Cebu City hall.
