How much is the pension of a senior citizen in the Philippines?

As of early 2024, indigent senior citizens in the Philippines are entitled to a monthly social pension of ₱1,000, which is double the previous amount. The total pension of a senior citizen in the Philippines varies significantly depending on whether they contributed to the Social Security System (SSS) or Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), or if they are considered indigent and qualify for the DSWD's social pension.
