July 16, 2025, San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur โ€” A cash gift payout was successfully held in San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur, benefiting several senior citizens from the area. This event is part of the ongoing efforts of the government to provide financial assistance to the elderly as a way of honoring their contributions to society.

The activity was led by OSCA Head Julieta S. Jorado, in coordination with the local government and other concerned agencies. The payout took place smoothly and was well-organized to ensure that all qualified beneficiaries received their financial support.

The program aims to assist senior citizens in meeting their daily needs and to show appreciation for their years of hard work and dedication to their families and communities. It also strengthens the connection between the government and the elderly sector.

The Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs continues to extend its services and programs to support the well-being of senior citizens. With ongoing support from national and local offices, the welfare of senior citizens remains a priority.

Barangay Sagucan, Vincenzo Sagun, Zamboanga del Sur

Two centenarians from Barangay Sagucan, Vincenzo Sagun were recently honored and celebrated for reaching the remarkable age of 100. As part of the governmentโ€™s recognition of Filipino centenarians, each of them received a cash gift amounting to โ‚ฑ100,000.

The awardees were Pilar Mana Opalong and Rosa Daligang Batuhan, both 100 years old. Ms. Rosa Batuhan was born on February 23, 1925. These two inspiring women have lived through a century of change and resilience, continuing to shine with strength and dignity in their hometown.

The financial assistance was provided through the Office of the Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA), with the support of the local government, under the Centenarian Act of 2016 (RA 10868). The successful distribution reflects a collective effort to recognize and value the contributions of our senior citizens.

This celebration serves as a reminder to the community about the importance of honoring and caring for the elderly. The Provincial OSCA remains committed to protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of senior citizens across Zamboanga del Sur.

July 15, 2025 โ€” Zamboanga del Sur
In line with the Search for the Most Outstanding OSCA in the province, a series of quiet but focused interviews were conducted across selected municipalities. Each visit served as a pre-assessment โ€” a way to listen, observe, and document the efforts of OSCA Heads and their teams as they continue to serve their senior citizens with consistency, compassion, and clarity.

This search, led by the Provincial Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (POSCA), will determine the Top 10 Most Outstanding OSCAs in Zamboanga del Sur. What began as a checklist soon became a story of small gestures, long service, and the quiet strength of leadership in places often overlooked.

Ramon Magsaysay โ€” 27 Interviewed

In Barangay Bogongan, Ernesto S. Dula, 80 years old, sat comfortably as he answered questions with a kind smile. A few barangays over in Makating, Eufrosina B. Perocho, also 80, welcomed the team with the quiet pride of someone who has lived through many seasons.

Their stories were made possible by the steady work of Catalino C. Mendoza, the municipal OSCA Head โ€” who, like many others, continues to carry the day-to-day weight of service without asking for recognition.

Sominot โ€” 11 Interviewed

In Upper Sikpaw, Purok 2, Lomina Aram Opun, 80, spoke softly as her daughter, Elsa Aram Elarde, 54, sat beside her. The bond between them needed no explanation โ€” just a glance, a nod, and the way Elsa gently held her motherโ€™s hand when words were no longer needed.

These moments are often unseen, but they speak louder than reports ever could.

Midsalip โ€” 9 Interviewed

At Barangay Palili, Felicisima Casas Montuerto, 85, shared her story โ€” one marked by resilience and quiet routine. Supporting the interview was Malvina Banawan, OSCA Head, along with Marian Grace Tenir-Lumaad, RSW, the acting MSWDO. Their coordination was clear, their presence calm.

While the interviews focused on OSCA performance, many of the same teams assisted in the distribution of cash gifts to qualified senior citizens under RA 11982, implemented by the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC).

More than a search for recognition, these visits revealed something deeper, that service, when done right, often happens without applause.

July 15,2025, Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur โ€”
With quiet dignity and the wisdom of a century lived, Dionisa Tundag Capua celebrated her 100th birthday this April 8, 2025. Born in 1925, she has witnessed generations of change, yet remains a living testament to resilience, simplicity, and enduring love for life.

As part of the implementation of Republic Act 11982, the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) along with the Provincial Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (POSCA) awarded Capua a โ‚ฑ100,000 cash gift, a recognition of her milestone as a Filipino centenarian. The payout was conducted during the provinceโ€™s coordinated efforts to honor its most senior citizens, with local officials and Provincial OSCA staff present for the visit.

Dionisaโ€™s story stood out not only because of her age, but because of the calm clarity she carries even now. Her memories stretch back to a time before electricity lit every home, before paved roads connected far-flung barangays, and long before digital screens became the norm.

She may speak less now, but her presence tells a whole story. The way her children and grandchildren care for her, you can see the life she built, the values she passed on.

Dionisa is surrounded by family as the recognition was handed over. The moment was more than ceremonial, it was personal. A way of saying thank you to a woman who lived through wars, transitions, and decades of community life, never asking for much but leaving a deep impact in the hearts of those around her.
