Im a father of a child with Autism. i got him a PWD ID. when i tried to used it to buy my son some donuts at J.CO (SM fairview). The cashier told me "bale wala po yan pag di nyo bitbit yun bata" I told her im the father and thats my signature at the back of his ID. QC municipality told me I can use it on some items listed at the back like food for him(Donuts for my son) " Hindi po wala po yan, wala po kayong discount!
I paid for my son's Donuts in full..
mother of cerebral palsy patients will definitely have a harder time than me just to buy a piece of donut and have a discount.
Mam, naubusan daw po ng ink ung printer ng ID noon pang nakakaraang linggo at matatagaln daw po bago magkaroon. pwede po ba kaming humingi sa ibang opisina ng ID card at ipapirma na po dyan sa QC?
