201. 4:WHEREAS, Art. 15, Sec. 14 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the family has the
duty to take care for its elderly members but the state may also do so through just
programs of social security;
WHEREAS, Article XIII, Sec. 11 of the 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall
adopt an integrated and comprehensive approach to health and other social services
available to all the people at affordable cost. There shall be priority for the needs of
the underprivileged, sick, elderly, disabled, women and children;
WHEREAS, Sec. 16. of RA 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of
1991 provides that every local government unit shall exercise the powers expressly
granted, those necessarily implied therefrom, as well as powers necessary,
appropriate, or incidental for its efficient and effective governance, and those which
are essential to the promotion of the general welfare;
WHEREAS, Sec. 16. of RA 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of
1991 provides the local legislative power shall be exercised by the Sangguniang
Panlungsod of the City;
WHEREAS, Sec. 10 (e) (17) of RA 7854, otherwise known as the Charter of the City
of Makati, provides that the Sangguniang Panlungsod shall approve ordinances
which appropriate funds to support programs and projects for the benefit of the
elderly;
WHEREAS, as of 15 October 2016 there are around 42,426 senior citizens for ages
60-69, ages 70-79 there are around 22,748 senior citizens and ages 80 and up there
are around 4,241 senior citizens in the City of Makati;
WHEREAS, the City of Makati sees the reality that most senior citizens’ medical
concerns require maintaining medicines and treatments, some of which are
expensive for the senior citizens;
WHEREAS, assistance in a form of monetary allowance would be of great help for
senior citizens to augment their expenses in medicines and other treatment;
WHEREAS, in recognition of the vital roles and contributions of the city’s sen
citizens to the development of the Makati into a vibrant city and the recognized
economic powerhouse of the country, while, at the same time, retraining its rich
cultural identity/heritage and religious piety, the City Government has been
granting annual cash Incentives in the amount of three thousand pesos (P3,000.00)
each to all registered (blu card holders) senior citizens;
WHEREAS, the mounting expenses for medicines and other medical concerns of
senior citizens as their age advances make their monthly pensions, if any, hardly
sufficient to tide them over. This condition is true to most of the city’s senior
citizens, particularly those belonging to the older groupings who are in more fragile
state of health, but not, necessarily, the least grateful for the privileges that come
with their realization of how much the city genuinely and truly care for them in their
twilight years;
WHEREAS, the Sangguniang Panlungsod, considering the integral role, contribution
and participation of the members of elderly sector in the promotion of the nation as
well as to the development of the City, hereby enacts this Ordinance for the cash
incentives of registered senior citizens in the City of Makati, subject to applicable
Jaws and auditing rules and procedures.
