    I agree that they don't care about the foreigners but I think they do really care about their lolo's and lola's and it is part of their culture to takes extra steps to watch out for them. The expats just got caught up in that and it woud probably be to complicated to make an exception. I wish they would.

    Nobody is tieing up hospital beds. The ease by which we can get visas to stay here is definitely an indicator of our status at the federal level; senior discounts are intended to ease cost burdens on Fiipino elderly. No Foreigner living here needs such a discount. If the did, they are in the wrong country.

    Do you have a source to verify that no one above 60 is still working either here or in any other country... ?? and if you look at my other post you will see that young people are now filling up the ICU beds in US .... so this tired old explanation of keeping some of the population at home is weak at best especially since the "young and the maskless" (pardon the pun) are the ones spreading the virus ...

    LOL. They are retired and not working in the economy. Leaving them at home does not cost them a paycheck.

    There is no point in having younger workers go without employment when the situation can be partially mitigated by having non-working people stay home.

    Personally, I don't think they care that much about the expat population. What they are afraid of is if all of a sudden many of the Filipino seniors began contracting it and dying of it. That would make news, we would not.

    I think we just have to proceed with caution
    Edit: I will proceed with caution- don’t want to suggest how others should handle Degamo’s directive

    Administrative Code of 1987, Book III, Chapter 2, Section 2.

    R.A. No. 10121

    There are likely many more laws, along with well established case law, that grants all levels of government to enforce executive orders during times like these.

    Going to be a whole lot of arrests if they ever tried to enforce it. Go out in Dumaguete, the old and young are every where, and there are no problems. I would not mind seeing some 'enforcer' trying to escort some older Filipina off the street. Talk about getting an earful.
