A Call to Protect Our Senior Citizens
Our senior citizens, due to the fragility that comes with age, often seek the assistance of the government to access services and secure necessary documents.
These services, especially those declared as FREE, are meant to ease their burdens not add to them.
It is deeply concerning to learn that some government workers take advantage of their vulnerability by asking for payment for documents that should be provided at no cost. Such actions are not only unethical but also a direct violation of the trust placed in public service.
I want to make it clear , I'm not accusing anyone, but I wish to remind our beloved officials that some of their workers may be giving them a bad reputation through such practices.
One day, we will all grow old. How we treat our elders today will be the measure of how we hope to be treated tomorrow.
I will continue to watch and speak out against any abuse or exploitation of our elders. Public service is a duty, not an opportunity to take advantage of those in need.
Let us ensure that our senior citizens are treated with the dignity, compassion, and fairness they rightfully deserve.
