I would like to ask if we have to pay for card application. I had applied for senior citizen card when I turned 60 last October. I paid for it for P120 pesos and I paid a P10/month "butaw". I got my Senior Citizen card through our barangay coordinator.

I actually, tried to apply for it through the OSCA in our town , however they said , I need to get it from our Barangay which I did and I was charge P120 and have to pay P10/month "butaw".

Can you please clarify.

Thank you.

I have already a senior citizens id card in Quezon City where I have a home. This card enables me to enjoy the common privileges granted to all senior citizens regardless of where they have their home, but also the privileges which are available only to the senior citizens of Quezon City, like free parking space in Quezon City, free movies in Quezon City.

I am going to buy a home in Cebu City, and live in it some parts of the year every year, can I also get a senior citizens id card for Cebu City, so that when I stay in my Cebu City home I can also enjoy the privileges peculiar to senior citizens living in Cebu City?

Why can't the office issue a temporary card right there and then while the seniors wait for two to three weeks to get the duly issued card? You may not realize it, but every waiting moment for them seems forever.....

When is the financial form will be released? My father had already Senior Citizen ID but to think of it he was not able to get any OSCA assistance since he reached 60years old. He already 61 years old this year. Why is it there's another requirements such as Financial Assistance to be filed. In fact OSCA ID is already with the beneficiary. If that so, it would take time of the beneficiary because its another additional expense, additional stress for the old man and sometimes it will not entertain properly at the OSCA City Hall Cebu. Most of the government employees are not approachable. Hope that you can do something as a government official. Thank you.
