- Officials of the Federation of the Senior Citizens Association of the
Philippines (FESCAP) Arayat chapter expressed hope yesterday that the
new administration in the municipal government will observe the law
involving budgetary requirement to their group.
Hector Gamboa, FESCAP president said that for so
long, they had been deprived of their right under law involving that one
percent budget share from the internal revenue allotment of the
municipality.
"Matagal
na nilang hindi ibinibigay ang pondo ng senior citizens. Ang hinihingi
lang namin ay kung ano ang nasa batas ay iyong ang ibigay nila sa amin,"
he added.

according to them were deprived of the right to just share in government
budget.

confident that they can get whatever is due to them.
