We did not expect it to receive social amelioration this lockdown. They give 6,500 pesos for one senior citizen per household. My father is senior citizen. He gave me 500 pesos and 1000 for my mom. The rest he keep for himself. Thanks a lot to the government.

how does your government know whom to give aid to?

@LadyDuck that is an equitable way to distribute aid. does it include permanent residents who are not citizens yet? what about those who are only there to work and can't leave because of lockdown?

@hereandthere We pay taxes here, they know from your annual tax form how much you earn. There are seniors who are multi millionaires, they do not need money, while some young people need money.

if your father takes maintenance medicine, that amount will help.
