A RECENT study has underscored the need for ongoing dialogue and collaborative efforts to enhance accessibility and ensure that persons with disabilities continue to receive equitable benefits.
Conducted from Feb. 14 to Feb.19, across various age groups and locations, the Tangere (Acquisition Apps Inc.) survey revealed key insights into how PWDs navigate the benefits afforded by their PWD IDs, particularly in dining establishments.
Among the significant findings are 76% of respondents hold a PWD ID with 85% having acquired theirs within the past three years.
At least 96% of PWD ID holders have used their discounts at restaurants, reporting 89% positive dining experiences.
Some 77% have found the PWD ID application process straightforward, though one in five has encountered challenges.
Moreover, 97% of respondents advocate for continued collaboration between the government and private sectors on PWD discount policies.
“Notably, RestoPH has expressed their commitment to fostering a more inclusive dining experience for all,” the survey cited.
