WHAT IS SUCCESSFUL AGEING IN THE PHILIPPINES?
The concept of successful ageing was first coined in 1961 as a way to explore and
understand good living in later years (Havighurst, 1963c; Steverink, Lindenberg, & Slaets,
2005). Havighurst (1963b) was the first author who conceptualized successful ageing as
comprising three constructs: life satisfaction, happiness, and good mental state.

"When we were on the field gathering data, Nanay Edna passed to us a thick pile of paper with scribbles in it. It contained her comprehensive view on the vaccination topic, the new normal, and how to stay healthy and happy during the lockdown..
​
With this, we decided to give Nanay Edna this month's Senior's Spotlight"
