THE BusinessMirror, in partnership with the United Bayanihan Foundation, will be holding the second Dangal (Dakilang Adhikain ng Ating Lahi) Awards for Elderly Care gala night on October 17, at the Resorts World Manila, coinciding with the ninth anniversary celebration of the BusinessMirror.
Five individuals and three associations of older citizens at the local government level will receive citations from the BusinessMirror and its partners RiteMed and CDO-Foodsphere.
Every Monday, the BusinessMirror has devoted a weekly page, titled “The Elderly” featuring articles that concern elderly, including their rights, care and how they can enjoy the rest of their lives to the fullest.
Last year the newspaper also started giving away the annual BusinessMirror Dangal Awards to exemplary older people and local government units that have the best programs for the elderly during its eight anniversary celebration on October 17, 2013, at the Dusit Hotel in Makati City. It was attended by Speaker Feliciano Belmonte, members of the diplomatic community and businessmen.
