Mahra Tamondong, popularly known as Super Mahra, vowed to promote programs for the elderly.

In a press conference with entertainment editors recently, Mahra said that people can support the elderly community by actively listening to them.

"By showing genuine interest in their stories, experience, and wisdom, we can help combat feelings of loneliness and isolation often associated with old age.

"Listening to the elderly not only provides them with a sense of validation and worth, but it also allows us to learn from their rich life experiences and benefit from their valuable insights," said Super Mahra when asked about her programs for the city.

Super Mahra said elderly individuals derive great pleasure from participating in enriching and enjoyable activities. "Explore various methods to improve their overall health and happiness."

This is why Super Mahra is committed to providing exceptional care to poor senior citizens.

Super Mahra said she also wants to create a safe and nurturing environment for the seniors.

"Let's make a conscious effort to prioritize listening to the elderly and create meaningful connections that can enrich their lives and ours," she added.

Super Mahra said she has no plans to withdraw from running as Manila mayor in 2025 despite famous rivals.

"Wala po akong aatrasan dahil yung naumpisahan ko, kailangan tapusin natin ng maganda. Siguro sila na lang kaya ang umatras?" said Super Mahra.

She added: Tuloy-tuloy po ang laban at hindi ninyo ako maaawat. Okay lang po kung sikat kayo kaysa sa akin. Pero ang gusto ko pong sumikat dito ay ang taong bayan, ang mga Manilenyo. Dapat sila namana ng umangat sa buhay at dapat sila naman yung makita. Hindi naman ako natatakot sa mga kalaban. Hindi naman sila mga halimaw. Hindi naman sila mga multo. Pero ang hangarin ko po ay yung kabutihan na gusto kong maibigay at yun po ang dala ko. So sa palagay ko hindi naman ako dapat kabahan o matakot dahil para sa kabutihan lang yung aking gagawin."
