The Pasay City Government, in partnership with the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA), has officially launched TALAKAYAN 2026, a community engagement program designed to hear directly from the city elderly residents and improve local governance services tailored to their needs.
Mayor Emi Calixto-Rubiano spearheaded the launch, emphasizing the city commitment to inclusive governance where senior citizens play an active role in shaping policies that affect their daily lives. The program creates a structured dialogue between city officials and Pasay elderly population, allowing them to voice concerns, suggest improvements, and participate in community planning.
Through TALAKAYAN 2026, senior citizens in Pasay City can expect enhanced access to social services, healthcare programs, and community activities organized by OSCA. The initiative reflects the city government recognition that Pasay elderly residents are valuable contributors to society whose wisdom and experience strengthen the community.
Pasay City is home to tens of thousands of senior citizens distributed across its barangays. Programs like TALAKAYAN ensure that their needs — from healthcare and mobility to social engagement and financial assistance — are heard and addressed by local leadership.
The launching of TALAKAYAN 2026 is part of the broader urban development and social welfare initiatives being undertaken by the Pasay City Government to create a more livable, inclusive, and responsive community for all residents.
Senior citizens who wish to participate in the TALAKAYAN 2026 program are encouraged to coordinate with their respective barangay OSCA offices for schedules and activities in their area.
