The uproar of different restaurants in the Philippines on fake PWD IDs has hurt the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) community, PWD advocate Paolo A. Capino said in an interview.
“They are losing their income but they do not think that they are embarrassed by those who are disabled [They care more about losing their income than shaming their PWD customers],” Mr. Capino told BusinessWorld.
He added that restaurant groups should not refuse a PWD ID holder until the Department of Health ID Verification Portal is complete and the uniform ID is printed and distributed.
