As part of the 2025 National Celebration of Elderly Filipino Week, the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC), in partnership with the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), Public Attorney’s Office, Bicol Medical Center – Geriatrics Department, Bicol Region General Hospital and Geriatric Medical Center, JLO Big Heart Foundation Inc., and Peñafrancia Kalasag Eagles Club, successfully held a heartfelt program at the Naga City Jail Facility, Naga City, Camarines Sur, on October 28, 2025.
With the theme “Embracing Age: Living a Life with Dignity and Purpose,” the event brought together our senior citizens and partner institutions to honor the invaluable contributions of the elderly and promote their welfare and inclusion.
The event features an inspiring program—from invocation and national anthem, welcome remarks, and keynote messages from partner agencies to a Caravan of Services offering free legal, medical, and geriatric services as well as the distribution of hygiene kits and heartfelt expressions of appreciation for our Lolos and Lolas. The JLo Big Heart Foundation was honored to support by providing 100 packed meals for the participants.
Every Filipino elder deserves to be celebrated, respected, and loved—regardless of where they are.
