👉SEVENTY-FIVE PERCENT✔️ of SENIOR CITIZENS✔️ are DEPENDENTS👈
In 1995,a study was made by the Social Security System on the status of an average Filipino.The study showed that,at age 65, 45% of Filipinos are dependent on their relatives, 30% are dependent on charity, 23% are still working , and only 2% are financially independent . If we do not fight the WAR OF POVERTY today , 95% of Filipinos might be below the POVERTY LINE by the time they reach at the age of 65.
The statistics are ALARMING !!! No wonder most income are insufficient : there is never-ending price increase in gasoline,electricity,tuition,and other necessities;some other relatives are also dependent on your income.
Therefore,it is very important that we make deliberate efforts to fight poverty now while we are still young and able .
