EXPLANATORY NOTE

The 1987 Constitution provides that the State shall give highest priority to the
enactment of measures that protect and enhance the right of all the people to human dignity

In addition to the rights and privileges granted under R.A 7432 as amended by R.A
7277 for Senior Citizen and persons with disability, this bill seeks to provide additional
privilege by granting Senior Citizens and Persons with Disability with free parking privileges
in all business and Government establishments, offices, and other facilities that charges
parking fees. The State shall provide them these privileges because of the disadvantage that

they face in our society

In view thereof, the early passage of this proposed measure is highly recommended.
