The Social Welfare Employees Association of the Philippines (SWEAP) vowed to undertake more advocacy actions to show unity and support to the Save Golden Acres Campaign.
In a national convention held at the Kimberly Hotel in Malate, Manila, April 27-30, 2010, SWEAP chapters all over the Philippines reaffirmed its previous national resolutions to oppose the closure of the Golden Acres Home for the Aged in Bago Bantay, Quezon City.
Each SWEAP chapter committed itself to conduct advocacy activities such as petition signing, textbrigade, media releases, discussions in gatherings and meetings, poster and streamer-hanging to concretely express its position to ask for the retention and continued operation of Golden Acres.
Furthermore, the council resolved to lobby DBM and Congress for additional funds to ensure that this historical and only national government-owned and operated institution in the National Capital Region would continue to serve as a home for the homeless senior citizens as intended for by Proclamation No. 389.
