Davao City mayoralty candidate Atty. Karlo Nograles has pledged to make senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PWDs) a central focus of his administration if elected in the 2025 elections. Nograles emphasized the importance of inclusivity and equal opportunities for all sectors of society, particularly the elderly and PWD communities.

In a recent statement, Nograles underscored his commitment to enhancing social services, healthcare, and accessibility for these often-overlooked groups. “Our senior citizens and PWDs have contributed significantly to our community, and it’s time we give back by ensuring they are supported, valued, and empowered,” Nograles said.

He outlined plans to improve healthcare facilities, increase pensions, and develop programs that promote active participation of senior citizens in community affairs. For PWDs, Nograles promised to strengthen accessibility in public spaces, provide employment opportunities, and enhance support services to foster a more inclusive city.

As the political rivalry between the Nograles and Duterte clans heats up in Davao City, Nograles’ focus on inclusive governance may resonate with voters seeking change and more comprehensive social programs.

With the elections approaching, Nograles continues to build his campaign around the principles of service, inclusivity, and progressive leadership, aiming to create a Davao City that thrives on equal opportunities for all its residents.
