“Celebrating them unlocks another level of greatness. We hope that during the ‘Senior Man’ campaign, more and more people are elevated. Done collectively, we, in many ways preserve our identity as people of great will and discipline,” Shadeko said.

Expressing excitement at the new deal, Pere said, “I am very happy about the initiative that celebrates everyday working people, making them more visible in their various lines of work. Initiatives like these should be encouraged and picked up by other corporate bodies.

“The government also has a major role to play in this respect. I believe when people are celebrated, they are inspired to be better to improve. This campaign alone will have a profound effect on the general well-being of everyone in society.”
