A: Hey Hana! Did you hear something interesting?
B: Oh, hi Kenji! No, what’s up?
A: Apparently, a Japanese nursing care company opened a place in the Philippines!
B: Really? Like, for elderly people?
A: Yeah! It's in Pasig City, near Manila. They opened it last March.
B: Wow, that’s quite new! What do they do?
A: It’s a daycare center. They give Japanese-style care to elderly people.
B: Japanese style? What's different?
A: Well, they focus on keeping people active and independent as long as possible.
B: That’s nice! So, they can stay at home longer?
A: Exactly! One woman was in a wheelchair, now she can walk with canes!
B: That's amazing! The power of Japanese care, huh?
A: The company president said he wants to spread this all over the Philippines.
B: Makes sense, the Philippines is getting older too, right?
A: Yep! By 2030, a lot of people will be over 65. They're becoming an "aging society.”
B: I see! So, more places like that will probably open up.
A: Pasig City is already thinking about opening another one!
B: Cool! Sounds like a really good thing for the Philippines.
