All national and local government agencies must support events for the "Linggo ng Katandaang Filipino" (Elderly Filipino Week), Malacañang said.

In a memorandum that Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin signed on 29 September, Marcos ordered the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) to lead Elderly Filipino Week activities and programs following Republic Act (RA) 11350, the "National Commission of Senior Citizen Act," to fully implement laws, government policies, and programs for seniors.

Proclamation No. 470-1994 mandates Elderly Filipino Week in the first week of October to promote senior persons' rights and welfare.

"All [national government agencies] and instrumentalities, including GOCCS (government-owned and controlled corporations), GFIS (government financial institutions), and SUCs (state universities and colleges) are hereby directed, and all LGUs are hereby encouraged to extend full support for and cooperation with the NCSC in the conduct of relevant activities and programs for senior citizens during the annual celebration of the Elderly Filipino Week," the memorandum states.

The Palace suggested supporting Elderly Filipino Week activities through agency appropriations.

NCSC chair Franklin Quijano said the Philippine Plan of Action for Senior Citizens and guidelines for Philippine Age-Friendly Local Governments, Cities, Municipalities, and Communities would be launched to create a "homegrown, age-friendly approach" for seniors.

Over 2.8 million seniors have enrolled online with the NCSC.

The NCSC hopes to register nine million seniors by December.
