Dispatch from Crame No. 775:
Sen. Leila M. de Lima's Support for COSE's Joint Statement

I am in full solidarity with the Coalition of Services of the Elderly and Senior Citizens Organization (COSE) and all elderly Filipinos in their clamor for their full protection and support from the government in this time of need, regardless of anyone's station in life and economic status.

Sa kinakaharap natin na krisis, hindi na tayo dapat namimili pa kung sino ang dapat na proprotektahan ng ating gobyerno. Lahat tayo ay apektado kaya dapat lahat tayo ay protektado.

This pandemic spares no one from its lethal effects and it puts our beloved senior citizens in a more perilous position. Evidence points to them as being one of the most vulnerable sectors in our society right now.

Lubhang nakakalungkot na lagpas isang buwan na ang Enhanced Community Quarantine (ECQ) ngunit ang tulong na para dapat sa lahat na matatanda ay kulang na nga at hindi pa nakakarating sa mga pinaglaanan.

Nanawagan po ako sa pamahalaan na bigyan ng ayuda at kalingain ang lahat nating matatanda. At sana naman ay bilisan na ang pamamahagi ng tulong para sa kanila.

Lahat ng matatanda ay nangangailangan. Lahat sila ay dapat protektahan.
