because there is usually no check and balance re. the use of such cards.
there is no efficient means of determining ("computerization"), which cards are legitimate and which are bogus.

they should throw the book at these violators.
it's akin to knowingly passing off couterfeit money.

also,
the authority figures that enable such individuals to such cards,
may not be aware that "not all visually-impaired folks are deemed PWDs"...

Sa grocery, P65 lang discount for every 2 weeks.

but what is the total un-discounted amount?

also,
that 65 pesos every two weeks of grocery, amounts to 1560 bucks a year. sa grocery lang yan, 'ha.

papano pa the other discounts, i.e., maintenance medications, atbp ?

Ummm sorry forgot how much minimum, but ang alam ko lang P65 lang max discount pwede na one time na every 2 weeks lang. Not sure about the meds & hospital though. Mas comprehensive discount ng senior. Sa parking, free ang senior (with max limit yata?), but PWD wala.

doing a little googling,
it seems, the rules are a bit tricky.
one's total purchase of discount-able goods must not exceed 1300 pesos.
as such, the 5% of 1300 bucks is 65 pesos.

[_Qwerty_]

yup sa grocery 130 per month.. dapat dala mo yung booklet mo..

ang malaki discount sa gamot wala limit.. basta naka reseta..

Does anyone here have a PWD card? I noticed that more and more "normal" people have it. I don't know what's a PC way of saying it but those without physical or mental disabilities that are obvious. My friend's children have PWD cards and they go to normal schools. I forgot to ask her how they qualified for PWD, baka adhd.

Anyway, I asked someone if I am diagnosed with depression, pwede ba ko sa mental illness. Pwede daw. My Mom doesn't want though na I get a PWD card tapos mental illness Even my Titas ayaw. Sobrang Taboo pa rin sa elders ang mental illness. Pwede din daw vision, although I wear glasses, I don't think my vision is that bad.

I have. Orthopedic ang category nakalagay. I have my neck fused na with my skull. Permanently di na nakakalingon. I still look normal until I try to look to look to the side. Buong upper body ko ang magtuturn para lumingon. I also have my scar from where my hair growth ends pababa sa leeg.

RE: vision, ang considered PWD yata is yung di na kaya ng galsses ang labo ng mata.

Ganun din kaya discount ng seniors sa grocery? Or 20% sila?

I had an Ex with a PWD card due to Glaucoma. She always bring a medical certificate just in case.

I hope to God that you are joking and not all doctors think that way [emoji15] I wouldn't want a doctor that keeps me sick or happy when people are sick because it's good for "business". A good doctor is one that you don't see often (only for check up)

I am very picky when it comes to doctors kaya I only go for those na walang health card or extremely established para more likely na they are in practice NOT for money but rather to genuinely help/cure. Most doctors I go to dont even make me pay PF.

Triggered ako dun sa more sick people = more business

"reverse psychology."

yes, it would be nice to be un-mindful of money as an enticement to practice.
but the bottom line is, "we all need money to finance our philantrophies".
the fact that you don't get charged PF, is because someone else is doing the paying. maybe not literally, but paying nonetheless, in cash or in kind.

I really want a PWD card. It's so unfair my friends have it e mas sakitin pa ko LOL. I'll apply either for Orthopedic or Mental, but my Mom is not to happy about the mental Pero totoo naman na I get anxiety attacks (feels like a heart attack so my doctor told me to breathe into a paper bag when it happens)
