Knowledge and implementation experiences of stakeholders on PWD ID benefits

Quote ID	Illustrative quote
P1	“I haven’t encountered any restaurants that don’t accept the card [ …] They don’t really check (its validity), or ask for another ID.”
P3	“Some establishments do not give discounts for to-go food. Some small business restaurants don’t follow the 20% for food. Sometimes only 20 pesos off but not entirely follows the 20% discount. Implementation of the discount is not centralized. If implementation is not consistent and there are no sanctions for businesses … At least big food chains abide. It’s harder to implement it on a smaller scale.”
P4	“Business establishments try to escape what is given in the law.”
P7	“What’s good about this is it’s also in line with the educational assistance for persons with disabilities, as there is also an exclusive education act. It seems they have aligned it with that. It’s also in line with the UHC, and they have included funeral and burial services.”
BE1	“A representative is required to show an ID; a persons with disabilities ID, and the relationship with the cardholder must be established. An authorization is needed, for example, if it’s a direct member like a father or mother, just an ID is sufficient… We also allow a picture of the ID; sometimes they don’t want to send the actual ID. It’s fine as long as the validity is visible. It can also be done online by uploading the picture…With regards to legitimacy, we can’t determine what is legitimate or not. As long as there is an ID. When it comes to persons with disabilities, it’s a sensitive issue. They are already disabled, and questioning them makes it difficult.”
BE2	“Physical ID. Pictures not allowed.”
BE3	“We could even allow other people to buy on behalf of the persons with disabilities as long as they have a card and the booklet.”
BE4	“We don’t usually ask questions to the buyer as long as the card seems valid. We only check for the picture signature and their type of disability”
