Over 257,970 elderly individuals received social pensions from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) in Davao for the second quarter of 2026. The total amount disbursed reached ₱1.45 billion, supporting vulnerable senior citizens across the region.
The distribution marks a significant step in the government's efforts to provide financial assistance to the elderly. The DSWD-Davao office coordinated with local authorities to ensure timely and accurate payments.
The initiative reflects ongoing support for indigent seniors, particularly in areas where economic stability remains a challenge. The program aims to alleviate poverty and improve the quality of life for elderly citizens.
The social pension payouts are part of a broader national strategy to address the needs of the aging population. The DSWD continues to work with community organizations to reach those in need.
