HB 1601
House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 8, 2025
An Act Granting Universal Social Pension to Senior Citizens, Further Amending Republic Act No. 7432, as Amended by RA No. 9994, Otherwise Known as the "Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010"
In plain language
The proposal would give every Filipino aged 60 or older a government cash benefit of at least ₱1,000 each month (the text says “per day,” which may be a drafting error). The amount would be checked and possibly changed every two years by Congress together with the DSWD, and it would not apply to seniors who already receive a pension larger than ₱3,500.
