About OSCA

The creation of the Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) in Davao City paved the way to care the needs and concerns of the people ageing from sixty (60) years and above. It was established sometime in the year 1993 consistent with the provision of Republic Act No. 7432, known as “An Act to Maximize the Contribution of Senior Citizens to Nation Building, Grant Benefits and Special Privileges and For Other Purposes”. The need of creating this office was conceived and developed to put in place the provisions of laws pertaining to the protection of innate rights of the elderly.

The Services offered by the Office includes:

  • Issuance of National ID Card for Senior Citizens FREE OF CHARGE which shall be valid anywhere in the Philippines
  • Distribution on Purchase Booklet on Medicine (ID issued on Davao and Outside Davao City)
  • Distribution on Discount Booklet on basic necessities (DTI) and prime commodities (DA)
  • Monitoring
    Maintain Compliance of RA 9994 particularly the grant of special discounts/privileges to Senior Citizens
  • Assist Senior Citizens in filing complaints or charges against establishments and deliberate
    complaints with the complaint Board composed of CSSDO, OSCA and the Head of Senior Citizens Federation Davao City
  • Data Banking – update on a monthly basis the list of Senior Citizen given ID and Purchase Slip

It was materialized through the issuance of Executive Order No. 32, and order reconstituting Executive Order No. 35,
issued on September 29, 1992, creating the Office for the Senior Affairs (OSCA) signed by Hon. Rodrigo R. Duterte.
