https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2010/ra_9994_2010.html Section 3 (a) : Senior citizen or elderly refers to any resident citizen of the Philippines at least sixty (60) years old
if in doubt, look at the intention of the regulation, not at the actual words used. it is quite obvious that while it appears foreigners arent covered because they only talk about citizens, it makes no sense to exclude them and is merely an oversight.
Just got my pass from my Barangays Captains resident office (had to laminate it myself) . So here is how it's rolling out. If your a Foreigner and your married to a Filipina and you both reside in the same home, both names go on the pass but only one can use it at any single time when going out to eat, shop for needs or medical visits. If stopped and checked even with pass you may have to give information on where you are heading. ***IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER AND ON YOUR OWN UNDER 65.....GO TO YOUR BARANGAY CAPTAIN TO GET YOUR PASS***
Previous iterations of the proposal specified "persons". Confusion over the precise meaning of "senior citizen" in the Philippines stems from the occasional use of it in the American-English sense of "person over 65" or some other unspecified age. I will use a "senior citizen" line at the supermarket, because I believe it to be intended for me as well as my filipino fellows. But I will not attempt to get "senior citizen" discounts.
Yeah, the brg are closing down now. Just had a checkpoint in Pulanbato and Palinpinon. of course no problem now to pass, but we need to get this pass at the brg hall.
You only need the pass of there is enhanced community lockdown,has this happened here yet? Our barangay do sod all and just sit around doing nowt so no chance.
This has been posted about ad nauseum on this forum. I don't care what you think about the topic, especially in this thread that has nothing to do with trashy kuripot foreigners trying to get a senior citizen discount.
most places that also do passport or ACR card photos....search one out online, call to see if open. My Wife got it laminated for me
