What is the social pension for senior citizens in the Philippines and how can I apply for it?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

The social pension in the Philippines provides financial assistance to senior citizens who are indigent and do not receive a pension from any other source. To qualify, you must be at least 60 years old and meet specific income requirements. Applications can typically be submitted through your local government unit (LGU) or the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). It’s advisable to check with these offices for detailed eligibility criteria and the application process in your area.
