Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna addressed accusations of ‘neglecting senior citizen support,’ calling them ‘disinformation’ propagated by supposed political opponents. Speaking at recent barangay assemblies, Lacuna emphasized that Manila’s elderlies have continued to receive their city government-funded allowances, countering claims of withheld assistance. She also highlighted a recent ordinance she signed to increase monthly allowances for seniors from ₱500 to ₱1, 000 beginning in 2025. Lacuna encouraged citizens to rely on official barangay information over social media, where misinformation is often spread.
