Centenarians aged 101 and above will receive P5,000 year-end cash incentive provided that they have been Blu Card holders for at least five years. If not, the beneficiary will only be receiving P2,500 year-end cash incentive.

the city will be distributing a total of P158,655,500 to 83,857 Blu Card holders registered as of 31 october 2022.
