The Davao City Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) is pleased

 The Davao City Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) is pleased that senior citizens will start working in big fast food chains.

According to Lorenzo Borja, head of OSCA Davao, this job opportunity is a big help for their financial needs, especially that most of the sector do not want to depend on their families.

Based on the agreement, senior citizens will receive similar to the workers' minimum wage of ₱510 per day.

Contract of Service is also the status of senior citizens to work for three to four months, but, may be renewed depending on the company.

Borja reveals, apart from fast food chains, negotiations with the local government are ongoing with other establishments that accept senior citizens to work.

It’s particularly important that of the city’s more than 200,000 senior citizens, 30% of them are already eligible to work.

Borja warns senior citizens that even when they work, they should not forget their health.

Just this week, the local government of Davao signed a Memorandum of Agreement between the city’s two big fast food establishments to accommodate senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
