(UPDATE) CAMARINES Sur 2nd District Rep. Luis Raymund Villafuerte on Tuesday urged the Department of Health (DOH) to investigate reports that certain drug stores have refused to grant discounts to senior citizens as mandated by law.
“The DOH and other appropriate government Offices need to check on the compliance of drugstores with DOH Administrative Order No. 2024-0017 and to crack down on erring establishments, as the reported refusal of certain pharmacies to sell prescription meds to elderly Filipinos is a blatant breach of Republic Act No. 9994 (Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010),” Villafuerte said.
