The provincial cash grant is institutionalized under Provincial Ordinance No. 2022-010R, enacted by the 27th Sangguniang Panlalawigan to honor citizens who reach the century mark.

The P50,000 local incentive serves as an additional benefit from the provincial government and is separate from the P100,000 national cash gift granted to 100-year-old Filipinos under Republic Act No. 11982, or the Expanded Centenarians Act.
