“The House of Representatives would like to honor our countrymen for their years of service to the country and for their discipline in ensuring that they live a long, healthy and fruitful life,” ayon kay Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez.

Bukod pa rito, layunin din ng House Bill No. 7535 na mabigyan ng cash gift na nagkakahalaga ng P25,000 ang mga senior citizen na nasa edad 80, 85, 90, at 95.

“We also want our octogenarians and nonagenarians to enjoy this benefit while they still can without having to wait until 101 years old so we also provided a cash gift for them,” dagdag pa ni Romualdez.

Ayon pa sa Kongreso, sakaling maipasa bilang batas, pangungunahan ito ng National Commission of Senior Citizens.

Dagdag pa rito, layunin din ng naturang panukalang batas na amyendahan ang Republic Act No. 10868 o ang Centenarians Act of 2016 na may mandatong magbibigay ng P100,000 sa mga senior citizens na aabot sa 100 taong gulang.

‘Senate proves flaw on PH democracy on Sara Duterte impeachment case’

Murphy highlighted concerns over trial delays and potential cancellation, emphasizing the well-founded nature of the impeachment grounds, which include misuse of funds, unexplained wealth, and betrayal of public trust. He noted strong public and institutional support for the trial's continuation, urging the Senate to uphold its constitutional duty amidst protests. Murphy also called on the international community to uphold democratic standards and cease military aid to the Marcos Jr. administration, which he described as a "rogue state."
