The High Court sets aside a lower court ruling which favored Pryce Corporation, a real estate firm selling memorial lots.
In its ruling, the SC said the Senior Citizens Act was passed to provide a “bundle” of benefits to Filipino citizens 60 years old and above. The High Court added that the law gives “flesh to the declared policy of motivating senior citizens to contribute to nation building and encouraging their families and communities to reaffirm the Filipino tradition of caring for the senior citizens.”
The High Court also noted that “burial services” can refer to any service that will be offered “in connection with the final disposition, entombment, or interment of human remains.” It also includes digging lands for graves, concreting it, and other acts done during burial ceremony, the SC added. The high tribunal said the RTC’s exclusion of interment services in the discounted services is not stated in the law. The Senior Citizens Act and its amending laws’ IRR do not explicitly set aside interment services so it cannot be interpreted to uphold the RTC’s earlier decision, it added.
