The Philippine Embassy strongly warns the public against a false and misleading article published on the website thethingsonline.com which features an interview with the Philippine Ambassador allegedly endorsing an investment scheme operated by a company called FortuixAgent. The interview was purportedly featured in a well-known publication.
The Embassy categorically states that no such interview ever took place. The Philippine Ambassador has never endorsed FortuixAgent or any other investment scheme, and does not and will not promote or recommend any private commercial venture.
The public is advised to exercise caution and to verify the authenticity of information before engaging in any financial transactions, especially those that appear to be associated with official government institutions or representatives.
The Philippine Embassy is taking appropriate steps to report this misrepresentation to relevant authorities and encourages individuals who may have been misled by the article to report the matter to the Philippines’ Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement and Investor Protection Department (EIDP) at This email address is being protected from spambots.

The Commission on Filipinos Overseas (CFO) encourages all qualified overseas Filipino octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians to take advantage of the incentives under the 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝘁 𝟭𝟭𝟵𝟴𝟮. This new law amended the Centenarians Act of 2016 or RA 10868, which only catered to Filipino centenarians.
Under Republic Act 11982, Filipinos who reach the milestone ages of 𝟴𝟬, 𝟴𝟱, 𝟵𝟬, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝟵𝟱 are entitled to a ₱𝟭𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬.𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁. In contrast, those who reach 100 years old will receive a ₱𝟭𝟬𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬.𝟬𝟬 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗴𝗶𝗳𝘁 and a Letter of Felicitation from the Philippine President.
This initiative aims to honor and recognize the longevity and contributions of elderly Filipinos to the Philippines’ national development. CFO is the agency under the Office of the President that links Filipinos overseas with the Philippines. Its constituents include Filipino permanent migrants, Filipino spouses and other partners of foreign nationals, Exchange Visitor Program participants, and Filipino Au Pair participants.
The CFO urges qualified overseas Filipino lolas, lolos, and their families to coordinate with the CFO or the nearest Philippine Embassy or Consulate of their domicile country for guidance in applying for the incentives.

CFO Chairperson Secretary Dante “Klink” Ang II expressed his delight for the CFO, as one of the implementing agencies of RA 11982, underscoring the invaluable contributions of our elderly kababayans overseas.

Despite their distance from the Philippines, overseas Filipino senior citizens continue to play a vital role in the Philippines. In addition to providing economic support back home, they help preserve and promote Filipino culture and heritage by leading and attending events of community organizations, which foster a strong sense of national identity. Overseas Filipino senior citizens also share their professional expertise through mentorship and philanthropic activities that benefit their host and home countries. Furthermore, they are the leading advocates for policies and initiatives that support the welfare of both migrants and senior citizens.
