Rewarding a Filipino who reaches 101 years old with P1 million cash is among the legislative proposals that the House of Representatives aims to pass with the remaining six session days left before Congress adjourns for the campaign period early February.

The House Committee on Senior Citizen Affairs has strongly endorsed passage of House Bill 10647 that retains the law granting senior citizens who reach 100 years of age a P100,000 bounty for becoming a centenarian.

A consolidation of 29 bills authored and co-authored by over 200 House members, HB 10647 is expected to breeze through approval once calendared for plenary deliberations by the Committee on Rules. Among the principal authors of the bill are Deputy Speaker Lito Atienza ; Reps. Maria Fe Abunda ; Raul “Boboy” Tupas ; Julienne “Jam” Baronda ; Diego “Nonoy C. Ty ; Ma. Lourdes T. Arroyo ; Carlito Marquez ; Jocelyn Fortuno, 5th District, Camarines Sur); Mark Go ; Dahlia Loyola and the late Francisco Datol .

Out of 100 million Filipinos in the country, only 205 were able to receive the P100,000 granted under the law.
