Grandparents' Day is observed in the Philippines every second Sunday of September, aligning with the American tradition. The celebration began in 1987, making it a relatively recent addition to Filipino holidays compared to the first official observance in the USA in 1978. This day is dedicated to honoring the vital role that grandparents play in Filipino families, often assisting with lessons and childcare. It has become a popular occasion for families to spend quality time together. Additionally, many hospitals participate by organizing special events for the elderly, offering free medical checkups, glasses, medicines, and flowers. This reflects the appreciation for the contributions of grandparents to society and family life.
