Opinion: NORTH EXPRESS By Reginald B. Tamayo (Marikina City)

Radio station for Senior Citizens

 AS THEY enter their sunset years, senior citizens are entitled to a variety of advantages and privileges. A 20% discount on numerous goods and services is one such benefit. This concession not only recognizes their services to society, but it also allows them to make the most of their limited resources.

Whether it's shopping for groceries, dining out at restaurants, or indulging in leisure activities, these discounts can significantly alleviate the financial burden on senior citizens.

Another exciting perk that senior citizens often enjoy is the opportunity to watch movies for free. Cinemas and theaters often offer complimentary tickets to seniors, recognizing their lifelong love for film and entertainment.

However, many senior citizens find it challenging to watch movies due visual impairment like the effects of cataract thus limiting their opportunities to enjoy movie entertainment. As an alternative, I suggest that there should be a dedicated radio station for senior citizens. This radio station would focus on providing music that resonates with their group age and offering a nostalgic and comforting listening experience for them.

This radio station's music would of course be carefully chosen to appeal to the likes and preferences of senior citizens. Classic tunes from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s would be extensively included, transporting them to a time when they were younger and carefree. 

This radio station could also contain programs that provide information relevant to the lives of senior citizens, such as health and wellness suggestions, financial advice, among others. Allowing them to request songs and share their own stories and experiences may also foster a sense of connection and community among listeners.

In fine, a radio station specifically designed for senior citizens has the potential to bring them a wealth of joy and entertainment. Through carefully curated music and informative programming, it can provide a familiar and comforting listening experience while also fostering a sense of community.
