Beyond
the Aging
Lines
The Lived Experiences
of Filipino Elderly in the
Philippines: A
Phenomenological Study

Jordan Tovera Salvador, PhD, RN


Assistant Professor, University of Dammam
Member, STTI Pi Iota Chapter
Member, Philippine Nurses Association
In loving memory of my
mom,

Potenciana Tovera
Salvador
Aging is
part of the
human
existence.

This phenomenon
has been the eye of
attention worldwide
concerning socio-
economical, political,
and scientific
dimensions.
Every person regardless
of age should not receive
any form of
discrimination.

Elderly should be
given equal
rights, respect,
and same
opportunity with
the rest of the
society.
What are the lived experiences of
Filipino Elderly in Metro Manila?
The study did not
compare the lived
experiences of the
co-researchers.

The study only


observed the
philosophical view
of the qualitative
phenomenological
study.
