The United Senior Citizens Koalition ng Pilipinas, Inc., commonly known as United Senior Citizens Partylist, is a political organization in the Philippines representing the interests of the elderly, otherwise known as senior citizens in the Philippines.
Background United Senior Citizens states their establishment year to be 2018.
United Senior Citizens vied for a seat in the Philippine House of Representatives in the 2022 elections. They won a seat, but their accreditation as a partylist organization under the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) was disputed. Consequentially, United Seniors was not among the partylist proclaimed as winners on May 26. On November 7, Milagros Magsaysay, a former representative of Senior Citizens Partylist in the 17th Congress took oath.
They ran again for the 2025 election.
Political positions They advocate the creation of a nationwide unified senior citizens identity card to mitigate the proliferation of fake IDs. The organization also wants a universal social pension which will cover all eldery people and not just indigents.
