Abstract

Population aging in the Philippines requires innovative, community-based approaches to strengthen geriatric care delivery. This article highlights the potential of Barangay Health Workers as frontline partners in promoting healthy aging through early detection, chronic disease monitoring, and coordinated referral services. Expanding BHW roles through standardized training and policy support can address gaps in geriatric healthcare access. A strengthened community health workforce can contribute to an age-responsive and sustainable Philippine healthcare system.
