“Ganito Karen, i contextualize ko lang ano, • ang total number of Blu Cards na na-issue namin is 88,000 plus • ang na-void namin is 18,000 plus ang nai-hold namin, • yung mga kwestyunable 2,500 plus • ang active is 67,000 plus so yun po ang datos natin I just don’t have figures ng pera kasi depende yun sa edad. I don’t have it here with me”

This means that 12% of the

total population of Makati are senior citizens; which is almost double the national average.
