00:00 Welcome development to the National Commission of Senior Citizens, the law that requires companies to hire senior citizens.
00:11 In the program Bago Pilipinas, NCSC Chairperson Attorney Franklin Quiano said that this is a good step for them,
00:23 but he is willing to give insurance to senior citizens in the time of the law. This includes the provision of SSS, GSIS and others.
00:34 Under House Bill No. 8971, it states that the senior citizen sector must receive 1% of the workforce from private companies or government agencies.
00:49 It is also stated in the bill that private companies with a 100-year history or more will be subject to this law once it is approved.
00:59 We are looking at not just employment, Ma'am Nina and Ma'am Janet.
01:09 The issue that we are looking at is how can the senior citizens transfer their skills and their experiences and even their wisdom to the next generation.
01:20 So the development work where the senior citizens experience about barangay development, city development, planning and all,
01:31 can be used by our government.
