This is in line with the commemoration of Elderly Filipino Week every October 1 to 7 as mandated by Proclamation No. 470 issued by then President Fidel Ramos on September 26, 1994. The proclamation establishes the Executive Departmentβs obligation, via the Department of Social Welfare and Development, to implement a social welfare program supporting the well-being of the elderly.
The yearly celebration of the Elderly Filipino Week emphasizes the contributions of senior citizens in contributing to the development of the country. (Words by M. Lim, CIO/Photos Contributed by BIONS and CSWDO)
