Mr. Enonli…This is from manila times

It is, for sure, a hyperbole. But “Nobody cares for the aged” is what most old people who are poor, sickly and abandoned by their children feel.

Poor, sick, undernourished, under medicated are very many of the about 6 million Filipinos who are 60 years old and older. The majority of our senior citizens are among the unhappiest and poorest Filipinos, as demographic statistics of the government show.
