Residents of Muntinlupa can now avail of exclusive benefits through the Muntinlupa Care Card (MCC), which was recently launched by City Mayor Jimmy R. Fresnedi. "We hope that through [this smartcard], we can provide each and every member of the Muntinlupeño family easy and convenient access to all programs of the local government," he said.

The advantages of being an MCC cardholder include: 25 to 75%* hospital subsidy at the local health institution Ospital ng Muntinlupa; free insurance for accidental death and disablement, motorcycling accident, and permanent total disability; free ride in the city's electronic jeepney or e-JRF (electronic-Jeepney Ride for Free); and easy access to other city programs.

Fresnedi added, "We want to have a dependable medium and cutting-edge card technology to boost and improve the [Muntinlupa's] programs."
To get an MCC, Muntinlupa residents have to attend the registration event in their barangay, present one valid ID and pay the card registration fee of P60 for the Senior Citizens' Red Card, P80 for the Yellow Card (for ages 18 to 59), and P75 for the Blue Card (for ages 7 to 17). Parents should be present to enroll minor applicants. The card membership is valid for one year and is renewable thereafter for only P20. The city government aims to register 50,000 constituents by December 2015.

The MCC's barangay registration caravan started last March and will continue until the end of the year. Registration booths will also be stationed at the Muntinlupa City Hall and Ospital ng Muntinlupa. This project is a partnership between the city government and Lingkod Muntinlupa Foundation.
