PCAF forms Senior Citizens' Committee

To ensure the entitlement of the agency’s elderly employees to the benefits and privileges granted by Republic Act No. 9994 (Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010), a Senior Citizens’ Committee has been created within the Philippine Council for Agriculture and Fisheries (PCAF). Through Special Order No. 224, Series of 2014, PCAF Executive Director Ariel Cayanan authorized the creation of the said committee for employees who are 60 years old and above. Policy Development and Coordination Division Chief Elmer Estiandan has been designated as the focal person to ensure the preparation of an annual work and financial plan and accomplishment report on the committee’s initiatives. The committee’s lineup of activities for 2015 includes livelihood and health programs, educational tours and trade fairs, awards and incentive programs, sports and recreational events, among others.
