The country is under Mr.Duterte.As long as it is under the administration of a single man everything will take place in proper order and any defiance to the established rules and regulations will be viewed severely. India, being under different Administrators each state having their own rules and regulations expecting such facilities will be not possible.
However, there are some concessions but not as many as the Sr citizen of Philippines have got. They got 40% discount on Train fare. In some important places, like temples, they will be allowed without waiting in a queue. As far the medical facilities are concerned they are not available to all. But, the Governments are introducing them slowly. Most of the Administrators are of a conservative type and they spend more on eating the public money than providing facilities to the public. The young generations are entering into politics very slowly and hence the new methods and innovations are also taking place in a slow manner.

  But at least the discount on the fares are 40%, double the discount rate of our seniors here.
  
  Actually, if only the administrators there are thinking in long term when it comes to their time to be senior citizens, they would be doing some more privileges for the seniors there.
  
  I suppose the seniors there have high pensions so that’s why they don’t ask that other privileges should be given to them also.

  Are your parents already senior citizens? If they are, have you asked them what are their privileges as senior citizens.
  
  From what I have read on sivasubrahmanyam’s comment the seniors there have 40% discount on fares. That’s nicer because it’s double the dsicount on fares that the seniors are getting here. So if it’s a long travel it will really be a great help.
