An umbrella organization promoting the interest of senior citizens has endorsed the reelection bid of Senator Sonny Angara, whom it described as a “true champion” of the rights and welfare of the Filipino elderly in the Senate.
The Coalition of Services of the Elderly Inc. said that for many years, Angara “has proven himself to be an ally of the elderly and has assured us that he will continue to work to produce more meaningful measures not just for the benefit of all senior citizens but for every Filipino as well.”
It added: “As we push for a universal social pension in the next Congress, Angara will be instrumental in this endeavor. Therefore, the Coalition of Services of the Elderly Inc. wholeheartedly gives our support to the young legislator.”
COSE is comprised of 450 member-organizations across the country dedicated to advancing the welfare of senior citizens.
Angara expressed gratitude to COSE for endorsing his candidacy, as he vowed to continue forwarding the interest and welfare of millions of Filipino senior citizens if he gets elected for another six-year term.
