VI. RATIONALE:
The Department of Education Advocates and campaigns for the promotion
of gender equality and social mobilization for GAD programs and projects.
Pursuant thereof and in consonance in Executive Order 273 known as “Approving
and Adopting the Philippines Plan for Gender Responsive Development”, Infanta
Integrated School as part of DepEd SDO Pangasinan I shall have its development
program for the senior citizens to recognize their special role in nation building.
The care for older Filipinos is guaranteed by the fundamental law of the
land. The 1987 Philippine Constitution ensures the promotion and protection of the
rights and welfare of Filipino senior citizens as a minority population sector. As an
integral part of society, older Filipinos are entitled to certain benefits and privileges
through the enactment of Republic Act No. (RA) 9994 or the Expanded Senior
Citizens Act of 2010.
COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the vulnerabilities of the Filipino elderly,
particularly the poor. Since the government imposed what it calls the Enhanced
Community Quarantine (ECQ) under which people are prohibited from leaving their
houses, poor senior citizens who still work, many in the informal sector, have been
deprived of their main source of livelihood. They are left with very little choice but to
rely on local government food packages that are simply not enough.
This Out-Reach Program of Infanta Integrated School for identified Senior
Citizen is the school’s special way of giving care and attention to Senior Citizens
for them to feel that the elderly is valued and their welfare is thought of in this trying
times. It is also hoped that through this Out-Reach Program, the Senior Citizens
may feel valued, loved and not forgotten. The activity aims to promote the concept
of respect and care for the elderly and inter-generations harmony.
