The UPLB Elderly Development Program (EDP), headed by Dr. Renato Torres, is an extension initiative of the Department of Human and Family Development Studies (DHFDS) and College of Human Ecology (CHE). It aims to motivate and keep senior citizens to “Stay Active, Productive and Happy” to improve their quality of life and delay the onset of dependency. RC LB Makiling has been supporting EDP for the past years, by providing food and other essential amenities during EDP’s monthly Elderly Day Care.
For their 5th Anniversary and Senior Citizens Summit held last September 24, 2016 at Baker Hall, UPLB, RC LB Makiling set up a free massage booth and hired 3 masseurs who were graduates of and licensed under TESDA. It was a very tiring morning for the masseurs, who provided massage services for 57 people in a span of four (4) hours. The Club recognized their efforts and assured to partner with them again next year.
