Which law discusses additional privileges for PWDs, including a PWD Card that provides 20% discounts on select goods and services?

• A. RA 10754
• B. RA 7277
• C. RA 9999
• D. RA 10963

Answer: (A)

Expanded benefits for Persons with Disabilities are codified in Republic Act 10754, which creates the PWD Identification Card and provides a 20% discount on select goods and services. This law builds on what the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons (RA 7277) established by adding concrete, nationwide privileges that help reduce daily costs and improve access for PWDs. The PWD Card serves as proof to claim the discounts across a wide range of establishments, making everyday purchases more affordable and easier to manage. While RA 7277 laid down initial rights, this newer act specifies the expanded privileges, including the discount provision, whereas the other laws listed address topics outside PWD benefits.
