Defining the News
The Supreme Court has invalidated a provision in the implementing rules and regulations of Republic Act 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2020 formulated by the Department of Social Welfare and Development which exempts non-profit, stock golf and country clubs from giving 20 percent senior citizens discount.
It also pointed out that Section 4 does not give the DSWD the authority to come out with exceptions to the 20 percent senior citizens discount as what it did when it issued the assailed paragraph 2, Section 4, Article 7, Rule IV of R.A. 9994’s IRR. The Court ruled that the DSWD exceeded its delegated authority and the assailed IRR provision is an invalid administrative issuance.
Santos, a member of Manila Southwoods, asked the RTC to invalidate Rule IV, Article 7, Section 4 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010.
