House Deputy Minority Leader France Castro on Thursday called on the Senate and the Government Service Insurance System support the passage of the bill lowering the optional retirement age of government workers from 60 to 56 years old.
“Kaya nananawagan ako sa aking mga kasamahan sa Senado na tignan ang kahalagahan nitong LORA sa government employees kasi sa panahon ngayon, marami ring young ones ang gusto makapasok sa gobyerno. Bigyan natin sila ng pagkakataon na makapagsilbi,” Castro said. She said that at the present optional retirement age of 60, most of the teachers who retire are already afflicted with various ailments and unable to enjoy their retirement years.
The House of Representatives already approved the said measure on third and final reading last January 31.
