Respect for elders is one of the well-known attributes of Filipino culture and heritage. In fact, our Constitution contains several provisions that deal with the protection of our. It is the duty of the family and the State to take care of the elderly members of society. However, despite our strong tradition of filial piety, senior citizens still suffer from abuse, particularly from online scams and disinformation initiated by some unscrupulous individuals.
We laud the DSWD, the NBI, and other concerned agencies that have taken immediate action to prevent these scams targeting the elderly. To help in the efforts to prevent senior abuse, I filed Senate Bill No. 639, which seeks to provide proper and adequate protection to our senior citizens. Taking care of our senior citizens has long been an advocacy of ours and in the measure we filed, we emphasize that the abuse of senior citizens is not a private matter but a public and serious one, which should be the concern of the entire society.
