This year’s celebration is centered around the theme “Honoring the Invaluable Legacy of Filipino Senior Citizens,” which underscores the remarkable contributions of Filipino Senior Citizens in today’s society.
Throughout this celebration, we highlight stories of hope, triumphs, and significant milestones of our senior citizens, emphasizing their profound importance to families, communities, and our nation as a whole.
Without them, we would not enjoy the freedom, democracy, and society we live in today. These are the fruits of their love and sacrifices. We owe them our deepest gratitude.
Thus, MSSD acknowledges the importance of safeguarding the well-being of senior citizens, especially those who are among the most vulnerable in these challenging times.
The Ministry is committed to addressing the welfare of indigent senior citizens across the Bangsamoro region through various social protection programs and services. These include providing financial assistance to eligible beneficiaries through the Social Pension (SocPen) Program, offering assistive devices through the Older Persons and Persons with Disability (OPPWD) Program, and extending free hospitalization and medicine assistance through the Bangsamoro Critical Assistance for Indigents in Response to Emergency Situations (B-CARES) Program.
Our senior citizens are treasures in our society. They deserve to be honored, protected, and loved.
