If you are from Manila, you can expect to see your granny cleaning
the table where you and your friends used for breakfast at McDonald’s or
Jollibee.

Well, that is better that granny play majong or gossip all
day. Maybe that was one of the reasons why City Mayor Isko Moreno signed an
ordinance requiring fast-food restaurants to hire senior citizens and persons with
disability for five months.
Mayor Moreno tweeted:
Yakang yaka pa ng ating mga senior citizens at PWDs 😁 pirmado na po ang Ordinance No 8598, requiring fast food corporations operating in Manila to provide temporary employment to qualified senior citizens and persons with disability. pic.twitter.com/WPJiTcii6D— Isko Moreno Domagoso (@IskoMoreno) March 6, 2020
Under Ordinance 8698, restaurants with at least 10 branches
operating in Manila should provide temporary employment to qualified elderly
and persons with disability.
Payment is on minimum wage.
In 2019, McDonald’s partnered with the city government of
Manila to hire the senior citizens with persons with disabilities for its 40
stores across the city.
