English: In a public hearing on the proposed amendments to the Centenarians Act of 2016 (Republic Act No. 10868), Gatchalian shared the experience of a constituent who applied for the P100,000 cash gift in 2021. The law awards a letter of felicitation from the President and a P100,000 cash gift to Filipinos who reach the age of 100. The constituent, however, is yet to receive the cash gift and is being required to submit school records.
Filipino: Sa isang pagdinig sa panukalang pag-amyenda sa Centenarians Act of 2016 (Republic Act No. 10868), ibinahagi ni Gatchalian ang naging karanasan ng isang constituent na nag-apply para sa P100,000 cash gift noong 2021. Sa ilalim ng batas, makakatanggap ng P100,000 at pagbati mula sa Pangulo ang sino mang umabot ng 100 taong gulang. Ngunit batay sa naging karanasan ng naturang constituent, hindi pa niya natatanggap ang benepisyo hanggang sa araw na ito dahil hinihingan siya ng school records.
