Event Details
Barangay 176-F’s OSCA pension distribution event was made even more special by the inclusion of additional support programs aimed at enriching the lives of seniors beyond the basic pension payout. The barangay took great care to ensure that the elderly received not only their financial support but also access to essential services that could improve their quality of life. The event featured a variety of programs designed to cater to the unique needs of senior citizens. Health services, including free blood pressure checks, eye examinations, and basic medical consultations, were provided on-site. These services were especially appreciated by the seniors, who expressed their gratitude for the convenience of receiving medical attention alongside their pension distribution. Furthermore, Barangay 176-F also set up information booths where seniors could learn about government programs and resources available to them, such as health insurance and financial aid. Volunteers were stationed at these booths to assist seniors with any questions they had, providing valuable guidance that ensured they were fully informed about the services at their disposal. Many seniors expressed how grateful they were for the added benefits during the event. -I didn’t expect to get a health check today, and I’m so glad I did. It makes me feel more secure, said one senior. The combination of pension distribution and additional services truly made the day feel like a celebration of senior citizens, giving them not just financial relief but also a sense of well-being. Barangay officials were thrilled with the success of the event, noting that the multi-service approach not only made the pension distribution more efficient but also demonstrated a comprehensive commitment to the senior community’s health and welfare. The presence of special programs reinforced the importance of supporting the elderly in all aspects of their lives, not just financially.
