The local government of Angeles City has honored three senior citizens who have reached the remarkable age of 100.
Honoring a Century of Life
Through the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA), Mayor Carmelo “Jon” Lazatin II led a special event to recognize Rosita F. Marquez, Felipa N. Mendoza, and Rosa L. Tiatco. These three centenarians were celebrated for their valuable contributions to society and their long lives filled with experience, wisdom, and inspiration.
Under the Expanded Centenarians Act (Republic Act No. 11982), each of the honorees receives a one-time cash gift of ₱100,000 and a Letter of Felicitation from the President of the Republic of the Philippines. This law applies to all Filipino citizens who reach the age of 100.
A Reminder of Respect
“Honoring our centenarians serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and valuing our senior citizens, who have witnessed history and served as guides to their families and communities for many decades,” the city government stated. The event underscores the city’s commitment to recognizing the elderly and their enduring legacy.
