and social mobilization for GAD programs and projects. Pursuant thereof and in consonance in Executive
Order 273 known as “Approving and Adopting the Philippines Plan for Gender Responsive Development”,
Cato National High School as part of DepEd SDO Pangasinan I shall have its development program for the
senior citizens to recognize their special role in nation building.
The care for older Filipinos is guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land. The 1987 Philippine
Constitution ensures the promotion and protection of the rights and welfare of Filipino senior citizens as a
minority population sector. As an integral part of society, older Filipinos are entitled to certain benefits
and privileges through the enactment of Republic Act No. (RA) 9994 or the Expanded Senior Citizens Act
of 2010.
This Out-Reach Program of Cato National High School for identified Senior Citizen is the school’s
special way of giving care and attention to Senior Citizens for them to feel that the elderly is valued and
their welfare is thought of in this trying time. It is also hoped that through this Out-Reach Program, the
Senior Citizens may feel valued, loved and not forgotten. The activity aims to promote the concept of
respect and care for the elderly and inter-generations harmony.
