They will also be awarded with a plaque of recognition and additional cash gift from their respective city or municipal governments during the National Respect for Centenarians Day, set on the first Sunday of October.

Albay Representative Edcel “Grex” Lagman, author of the measure, disclosed this on Monday, June 27.
