CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

It

is

well-established

fact

that

the

worlds

population is aging. What hasnt been clearly established is

the

definition

of

old

age.

Who

is

considered

senior

citizen? In the past, this designation was reserved for

people aged 65years or older, and societys view of senior
citizens was based on a medical model. This outlook held
that older people were delicate, confined in their homes or
in an institution, and had very little to contribute to
society.There is, of course, this inescapable fact that the
elderly remind us of our own humanity as well as that of our
nearest and dearest. We are scared of becoming weak and
needy, of losing our minds and our mobility, so we are
turning away our eyes a recent survey from the Disabled
Living

Foundation

revealed

that

two-thirds

of

us

dread

becoming a burden on family and friends, while three in four

are scared of illness in old age. The irony is that research
has shown that those who have a positive view of ageing
actually stay healthier longer.

Still, so essential is our aversion to age that it is

the first defining characteristic that toddlers understand
in others, studies have shown three year olds can easily
pick out pictures of differently aged people, pointing to
cues such as baldness and wrinkles. We are, it seems, hardwired

to

define

people

by

the

number

on

their

birth

certificate. Tellingly, statistics shows that almost a one

third of people under 25 dont have contact with anyone over
65, widening the gap between the generations even further.
(http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/why-we-are-scared-of-growingold#image-rotator-1)
As

the

senior

population

increased

and

retirement

became desirable, voluntary state instead of a forced event,

society began to realize that senior citizens still had many
active years ahead of them. This variation in age range is
mirrored by the ages used in the literature: some studies
chose 50 years as the beginning age, others chose 60 years,
and still others chose 65 years. Dee & Bowen (1986) note
that social gerontologists separate the old into three
groups: the young old, aged between 60 and 75; the old
old, aged between 75 and 85; the very old, those aged
over 85. Other studies (Wilkinson & Allen, 1991; Kleiman,
1995;

and

Kendall,

1996)

discussed

variation

of

that

breakdown: the young old or young elderly, aged 50-64; the

middle old or active elderly, aged 65-74; and the old old or
older elderly, aged 75 and older.
The ageing process is of course a biological reality
which has its own dynamic, largely beyond human control.
However, it is also subject to the constructions by which
each society makes sense of old age. In the developed world,
chronological time plays a paramount role. The age of 60 or
65, roughly equivalent to retirement ages in most developed
countries is said to be the beginning of old age. In many
parts of the developing world, chronological time has little
or no importance in the meaning of old age. Other socially
constructed meanings of age are more significant such as the
roles assigned to older people; in some cases it is the loss
of roles accompanying physical decline which is significant
in defining old age. Thus, in contrast to the chronological
milestones which mark life stages in the developed world,
old age in many developing countries is seen to begin at the
point

when

active

contribution

is

no

longer

possible."(Gorman, 2000)
The Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 (RA 9994) is a
social welfare legislation intended to benefit our Filipino
elderly and provide them additional privileges. Including

all the Filipino residents who are 60 years old and above
are entitled to the benefits and privileges granted in this
act. It may cover elderly dual citizens who can prove
Filipino citizenship and at least 6 months residency in the
Philippines. They are entitled to the following: a) discount
privileges, b)
incentives, e)

free

services,

government

c)

financial

exemptions, d)

assistance,

and f)

priority in express lanes.

Republic

Act

9994classifies

person

as

senior

citizen based on age. Upon reaching the age of 60 years old,

a person is classified as a senior citizen and is entitled
to the benefits provided for in RA 9994 such as twenty
percent (20%) discount and exemption from the value-added
tax on the sale of goods and services such as but not
limited to the purchase of medicines, medical and dental
fees, and actual fares for transportation. Among all the
benefits granted to the senior citizens, the discount on
medicine and medical fees is the most beneficial for them
because by reason of old age, health naturally deteriorates
and this is the reason why senior citizens tend to pay more
attention to their health than healthy younger individuals.
As a result, the objective of RA 9994 regarding health care

is

truly

achieved.

(www.scribd.com/doc/100826714/senor-

citizens-act)
Senior citizens are entitled for so many benefits and
grants, but some studies show that the implementation of the
law has not been that effective. These studies show that
many of the Senior Citizens have been complaining for they
are not always been granted by the blessings of the law.
These

complaints

include

non-compliance

of

drug

stores,

transportation, recreational and cultural and other business

establishments in the provision of the benefits for senior
citizens, the non-coverage of poor senior citizens in the
social

pension

program,

inaction

or

delayed

action

to

complaints by OSCA and other concerned agencies.

Further complicating matters, various organizations use
different

age

ranges

or

other

requisites

for

services

offered to the Senior Citizens. For example, one must be 60

years old to become a member of the Senior Citizens Affairs
and government benefits dont always begin until one reaches
60 and become a member of the Senior Citizens Affairs.
On

the

other

hand,

DSWD

Regional

DirectorArnel

B.

Garcia said during a forum that since the first few months
of the implementation of the said law, DSWD Field Office 02
has intensified information drive on RA 9994 and first among

DSWD Field offices to put up Senior Citizens Help Desk to

address inquiries, complaints and grievances from senior
citizens

and

stakeholders.

Should senior citizens with high prescription drug cost
have their costs subsidized? Of course, elderly with serious
illnesses that requires very expensive drug prescriptions.
Why is that? Some of these old patients dont have someone
to care for them. Though there is one catch, their children
have to make a certain amount of money to be able to support
their elders needs. But what if their salaries are not
enough even for their own families necessities?
As difficult as some of these questions may seem, they
still should all be properly addressed. In addition, why do
senior patients get more attention than ones of the younger
age? Why are elderly patients getting their bills covered by
the

government?

It

is

because

they

dont

have

enough

allowances from their children. And most of the families

come from the lower class of society. And even if we deny
it, it doesnt change the fact that we are poor. So the

government has to protect every human being and that is

protecting the elderly by giving them the benefits that they
should be getting.
In

every

city

and

municipality

of

the

Philippines,

under direct supervision of the Department of Social Welfare

and Development, in collaboration with the local government
unit

concerned

establishing

senior

citizen

program

provides adequate social services and an improved quality of

life for all. For this purpose, the State shall adopt an
integrated

and

comprehensive

approach

towards

health

development giving priority to elderly among others.

National

popularly known as Narra is a first class municipality in

the province of Palawan, Philippines. According to the 2012
census, it has a population of 65,264 people and 2,432 of
them are Senior Citizens. This program, established on June
18, 1954, resettled landless people from Luzon to Palawan.
On June 21, 1969, the Municipality of Narra was created by

Provisions of the Senior Citizens Acts, which are concerns

of the national government, are incorporated of this Code
for the knowledge of concerned Senior Citizens of Narra, as
well as, for the information of those establishments that
grants benefits and privileges to the elderly.
Now

the

researchers

are

interested

in

determining

therespondents awareness on the implementation on senior

citizens program based on R.A 9994, if it is truly executed
by the persons who are accountable to it.

Statement of the Problem

This study will be undertaken by the researchers in
order to determine the level of awareness of the Senior

Citizens on the implementation ofRepublic Act 9994 in the

Municipality of Narra, Palawan.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following
question:
1. What is the personal profile of the respondents in
terms of the following:
a. Age;
b. Gender;
c. Membership on the OSCA;
d. Educational attainment;
2. What is the level of awareness of the respondents on
the benefits that they are getting?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the level
of awareness of the respondents and their profile?
4. Is there a significant difference between the awareness
of the respondents from the most populated rural and
urban Barangays of Narra?
Significance of the Study
The significance of this study can be viewed in various
ways. In general, this study will give enlightenment on the
general perception of the residents in the implementation of
the Expanded Senior Citizen Act of 2010 in the municipality
of Narra, Palawan.

10

To the community, it will raise the level of awareness

of the Narranons on ageing needs of the Senior Citizens to
prevent

any

discrimination

against

the

abuse

of

older

people. This will also serve as information and reference

regarding the things that they want to further understand
the things needed by our elders. It will also inform the
general

population

on

the

programs

and

services

of

identified agencies on older persons.

To the Senior Citizens, it will be one way to motivate
and maximize them tocontribute in nation building and active
participation and involvement on the development programs
and

projects

of

the

municipal

government

of

Narra,

Palawan.It will also be a way to recognize ore their rights

To the Palawan State University (PSU) Narra College
of Community Resource Development (NCCRD) students, this
study will serve as their supplementary on the information

11

about the implementation of RA 9994 so that when one is

guided and had knowledge about the study, they will inform
their elders to be a member of the OSCA to get and avail the
benefits entitled for them.
To

the

researchers,

this

Review of Related Literature

As provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of
the Philippines, it is the declared policy of the State to
promote a just and dynamic social order that will ensure the
prosperity

and

independence

of

the

nation

and

free

the

people from poverty through policies that provide adequate

social services, promote full employment, a rising standard
of

living

and

an

improved

quality

of

life.

In

the

Declaration of Principles and State Policies in Article II,

Sections 10 and 11, it is further declared that the State
shall

provide

social

justice

in

all

phases

of

national

development and that the State values the dignity of every

human person and guarantees full respect for human rights.
Article XIII, Section 11 of the Constitution provides
that the State shall adopt an integrated and comprehensive
approach to health development which shall endeavor to make
essential goods, health and other social services available
to

all

priority

the
for

people

at

the

needs

affordable
of

the

cost.

There

shall

be

sick,

elderly, disabled, women and children. Article XV, Section 4

of the Constitution further declares that it is the duty of
the family to take care of its elderly members while the
State may design programs of social security for them.

14

Every senior citizen is endowed with the dignity and

worth as a human being, and has therefore, the right to be
respected, especially by the young, and be provided with
love, care, understanding, and moral security. And every
senior citizen has the right to live in a community and a
society

that

promotion

of

can

offer

his

health

an

environment

as

well

as

conducive
to

to

the

well-rounded

development of his personality to the end that he becomes

happy, useful, and active member of society.
Psychologically,

we

prefer

to

see

the

elderly

as

other with different attitudes, tastes and world views

and

to

admit

acknowledge

that

that

we

one

have

day

anything

we

will

be

in

common

like

them

is

to

(recent

research has shown that people exaggerate the differences

between themselves and others with characteristics that they
fear having themselves).
Interestingly, in more collectivist cultures China,
for example its this very reminder of mortality that may
underline respect for and the value of the elderly. Families
know their time with them is limited, so they cherish their
knowledge

all

the

more

growing

old

is

not

growing

obsolete, it is just taking on new and important roles. The

15

nuclear society in United Kingdom where many only have

irregular contact with grandparents is very different.
It seems that shifting our attitudes towards ageing
would not only be good for old people, but for us in our
older age too. Studies in Japan, which has a similar respect
for age to China, have shown the prevalence of depression
and dementia or the failure or loss of mental power is far
lower, implying that this culture may exert a protective
influence.

Research

in

the

journal

Perspectives

on

Psychological Science last year has actually shown that we

get happier as we get older when we move from middle to
old age, we focus on positive events and filter out bad
ones, plus we cope with a negative event by shrugging it off
and moving on. So instead of gasping at every grey hair, we
should learn to celebrate age, experience and the innate
self-confidence that comes with it, to see it as a new stage
of life rather than the slow march towards the end of it. We
asked five women over 60 to tell us how they feel about
growing

old.(http://www.stylist.co.uk/life/why-we-are-

could be of help to other people.
Synthesis
The

preceding

review

of

related

literature

tackled

about the implementation of RA 9994 and many orders from the

national and local government which considers great part on
the implementation of the said act. It plays a great role to
determine the benefits and privileges of the respondents.

23

Numerous laws were passed by the local government unit

of Narra for the promotion of the Senior Citizens to help
them maximize their capacity in nation building as well as
for other purposes.
This likewise discusses the role of the Senior Citizen
in the community and how they could be of help to other
people by rendering significant services to them.
Conceptual Framework
Based

on

the

review

of

literature,

the

researchers

formulated a theoretical framework of the study. This study

visualizes the respondents awareness on the implementation
of the Expanded Senior Citizen Act of 2010 in the most
populated rural and urbanized barangay in Narra, Palawan.
This is illustrated in the research paradigm as shown in

Table 1a shows that the average age of senior citizens
in Poblacion and Calategas is 72.6468. This further shows
that the range of their ages is from 65 to 80 years old. The
table also reveals that the youngest senior citizen is aged
60 and the oldest 94.

Table 1b shows that female are in more number than the

This

also

implies

that

female

senior

citizens are more aware in terms of the benefits that they

should be getting because female are more active than male
in terms of being a member of the OSCA.

number of senior citizens are not aware of the benefits that
they should be getting. Likewise, it also implicates that
the level of education of the respondents affects their
availment and awareness of the benefits as provided for in
RA 9994.
