Senate bill seeks free movies for senior citizens nationwide

MANILA, Jan 15 (PNA) -- A bill has been filed in the Senate seeking to give free movie privileges to senior citizens across the Philippines.

Under Senate Bill No. 1265 or the Senior Citizens Free Movie Privilege Act, Sen. Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian wants all cinemas to allow citizens 60 years or older to get a free movie pass once per week.

Gatchalian said that cinema owners and operators will enter into an agreement with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) to provide this privilege.

His measure also stated that cinemas will be given the preference to make specific schedules as to the day and time when seniors may avail of the privilege.

They may also extend the privilege to additional days depending on their respective corporate social responsibility programs.

The neophyte senator meanwhile pointed out that several cities and municipalities across the country have already implemented a similar policy.

He described this measure as “a simple token in recognition” of the importance of senior citizens in the society.

"In gratitude for everything our senior citizens have done for their families and for our country, they deserve this additional source of joy and leisure during the tranquil autumn of their lives," Gatchalian said. (PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
