UNTV will be providing a free One-Stop Shop document processing for the elderly for two days. The aim is to provide comfort and enjoyment for the elderlies on June 25-26 this year while attending to their document processing or legal and medical concerns.

On its 10th year in broadcasting and service to people, the Public Service station has dedicated the eventful day to help the grandfathers and grandmothers by providing them various services and privileges. “Caring for the Elderly” is the theme and the concept of the station’s event. UNTV aims to be bigger, better and broader with their public services with Daniel Razon, D.H. (honoris causa) at the helm. The 2-day celebration will be held at the World Trade Center and Philippine Trade Training Center simultaneously.

The Elderpowerment program aims to empower the elderlies by providing them jobs or livelihood of their own preference. It aims to bring back to the seniors the pride of being productive and financially able. The working condition is designed and inclined to their physical attributes to give them ease even at work.

Considered one of the highlights of the event is the One-Stop Shop Public Service program that is designed to assist the seniors with their documents regarding seniority. UNTV is making this possible with its partnership with government agencies such as PhilHealth, SSS, GSIS, PVAO, DSWD, PhilPost, DFA and other concerned offices.

The UNTV Big10 will also feature The Rescue Summit that aims to educate participants, seniors and their families, with safety measures in case of emergency, fire and calamities. Local Government Units are the partner agencies for this service.

Included in the program is the Health and Food Exhibit that aims to inform the elderlies and their guardians the importance of sound mind and healthy body for the elderlies. The exhibit will also showcase food lecture, food and product testing, free massages and hand and foot spa to ensure the enjoyment of the grandparents.

Elderlies who have medical and dental concerns will also be treated with free medical and dental services. UNTV will position volunteer medical doctors and dentists to check the elders concerning geriatric health. The same free service goes to those who need legal assistance. UNTV legal practitioners and volunteer lawyers will give free legal services and consultation for the seniors.

UNTV, dubbed as the Public Service Channel, maintains solid partnership with several government offices and agencies in order to make some of its public services possible. The main sponsor though for this event is Bro. Eli Soriano of Ang Dating Daan as the televangelist believes in the humanitarian advocacy that UNTV has carried for ten years. Last year when Ang Dating Daan held its 33rd year in broadcast, it partnered with UNTV to promote breastfeeding campaign and it registered more than 35,000 participants – breaking the 2007 Guinness World Record for Simultaneous Breastfeeding.

The 10th anniversary of UNTV will also commence the ground-breaking of the new location of the Public Service Channel set on June 26, 2014.
