SENIOR CITIZEN

A SENIOR CITIZEN is typically defined as an individual who is 60 years old or older. This stage of life is often characterized by a wealth of experience and knowledge, contributing to the social fabric of their communities. Senior citizens may have retired from their professional careers, providing them with opportunities to explore new interests, hobbies, or spend quality time with family and friends.

Legislation: The Senior Citizens Act (Republic Act No. 7432) provides benefits and privileges to senior citizens, including discounts and healthcare access.
