Groceries, pharmacies told to prioritize senior citizens during COVID19 crisis

MANILA - Supermarkets, groceries, pharmacies and other establishments in the Philippines allowed to operate during the Luzon-wide lockdown period to contain the coronavirus outbreak must prioritize senior citizen customers, the trade ministry said Saturday.

Establishments are encouraged to designate a "Seniors Only" shopping hour, although the elderly customers may also choose "to make their purchases even beyond such designated hour." The necessary notices for this privilege and assistance for senior citizens must be posted in public view, both in English and Tagalog.

Akala ko ba bawal lumabas ng bahay ang mga senior citizens? PH gov't, get your avt together. Sino ba dapat sundin?

Eh hindi naman pinapalabas ang mga Seniors, hindi nga binibigyan ng quarantine pass.
