00:00For the past four years, the Pension Tulong Sana for the treatment of a woman has been a hot topic.
00:08It's a big help to her treatment, so she went to your heart, Action Man.
00:17In 2020, an application was sent to get a social pension for Nancy, who is now 64 years old.
00:25But four years have passed, and she still hasn't submitted her application.
00:31That's the personal that was sent to the Receipt Caravan Service in June.
00:36The Department of Social Welfare and Development is happy with the GMA Action Center.
00:40I've been waiting for my social pension for four years.
00:44It's not there yet. I'm just waiting.
00:48Six thousand pesos of social pension should be received by qualified senior citizens every six months.
00:54Where will you use it, Lola?
00:56I'm on medication right now.
00:59Now, let's bring her story closer to the DSWD,
01:02so that the personnel of the government can clearly answer the question posed by Lola.
01:08She was endorsed by the LGU in 2023.
01:13That year, we had a validation and assessment to find out if the senior citizen is qualified for the program.
01:21She was one of the non-interviewed members of the DSWD.
01:24I endorsed her as a focal person of the LGU that she will be counting on
01:30so that she can at least be assessed if we have a validation schedule.
01:34For the public's knowledge, it's not automatic for senior citizens to receive social pensions.
01:40The DSWD's Regional Social Pension Section examines the qualifications.
01:47You should be a senior citizen.
01:49Seek freely and with disability.
01:51You should not receive a pension from SSS, GSIS, PIVO or any other pension from the government agency.
01:59Third, you should not receive support from your relatives or your children.
02:06Fourth, you should not have a regular income.
02:09After receiving the caravan service, Nancy underwent assessment and validation.
02:15Good news, because she is qualified to receive social pension and she is in the final process of eligibility check.
02:23She will be given a notice on when and where she can receive her pension.
02:31Mission accomplished, Kapuso.
02:33For your information, send it to Kapuso Action Man Facebook page
02:37because for any complaints, abuse or mistrust,
02:40we will take action against you.
02:42Kapuso Action Man.
