What does the expanded Senior Citizens Act mean for OFW families in the Philippines?

A Kalinga PH Team Answered by

The expanded Senior Citizens Act aims to enhance the benefits and support available to senior citizens, including those from Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) families. This legislation extends privileges such as discounts on essential goods and services, as well as access to healthcare services. OFWs can ensure their families back home receive these benefits by registering them under the law. For specific entitlements or to understand how these benefits apply to your family situation, it’s advisable to consult the official government website or local authorities.
