00:57The government is working hard to recognize the contribution of the elderly
01:01who have become mentors to many on how to live.
01:05That's why the President has given the privileges that senior citizens can get
01:10including discounts on paying for water and electricity,
01:15as well as for medicines and other needs.
01:18Now, the President is determined to do many more things for senior citizens
01:23that the government will support.
01:27Because he is determined that in the new administration, no one will be left behind.
01:32He also encouraged the youth to give respect and care to senior citizens.
