Show Notes
What if the system designed to support our most vulnerable is being exploited? Who truly pays the price? In this episode, we explore the complexities of Republic Act No. 10754, which mandates a 20% discount and VAT exemption for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Journalist Justine Dizon shares his firsthand experience of defending his right to these benefits, while tax expert Mon Abrea unpacks the challenges businesses face in verifying PWD IDs. We also discuss the broader implications for both PWDs and establishments, shedding light on the urgent need for a clearer, more reliable system.
