SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique—The provincial government here will soon activate its monitoring board for the elderly created through an ordinance passed last year.
The board is chaired by Antique Gov. Rhodora J. Cadiao with the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) as secretariat. Its members include the Provincial Health Office and other concerned government agencies.
PSWDO head Lazaro Petinglay said in an interview on Tuesday its activation was discussed during their meeting on Tuesday with the Federation of Senior Citizens Association of the Philippines Antique Chapter officers headed by Edgar Maghari.
Its activation is necessary with their plan to further reach out to other seniors who are not active and those with special needs.
