May we request for 20% discount at Mercury Drug store, same as benefits received by senior citizens? Being sick, we spend so much for medicines and it would be a big help enjoying discounts. They also have basic commodities in most of the branches so we can buy our groceries from their store. Thank you very much and MORE POWER!

Hi! I just got my son his PWD ID but when we used it last night at Mercury Drug Putatan, Muntinlupa they said that they don’t honor such ID because there are no memo yet from their head office and that no such codes for the said discount. They also blamed DOH about this. I felt bad and a little discriminated because of this. The supposed privileges for my son were not given. It also made me think that how come SM Malls were able to do something about it but other companies can’t. I applied for the ID for the said Discounts and privileges and yet, my son was not able to enjoy the said benefits. I hope that the authorities could do something about this ASAP.

mercury drug is not honoring r.a.9442 fyi

I hope NCDA will also be in the frontline in promoting inclusive education. Their are many children who can benefit from schools who practice this policy. Students who otherwise will drop out of school because they learn differently will be better served.
The cooperation of the DOH is important to help identify these children who are also in school, so proper supports can be given to them.
Finally financial assistance is needed by Public Elementary Schools who wish to practice Inclusive Education, for the training of teachers to handle students with developmental and cognitive delays.

@Dr. Ingrid R. Yap, Ph.D.,
Hi Dr. Ingrid,
I wonder if NCDA is reading all the posts here. In any case, I think less-abled people or DISABLED people as they call us should already start helping ourselves. It may be possible that the NCDA is not yet that organized or simply lacks the funds to get going. Perhaps we should start a blog or website of our own. I hope we can be more organized and pool resources together (talent, money, information, etc).

We had the same experience with Mercury Drug. This is totally unbelievable. You know that most of the “PWD’s” would be needing medicines and yet the biggest drug company would not honor it! They claim to have not been informed about it and are still waiting for the memo from another Government Institution.
How long do we have to wait. If a PWD’s life depend on this sky high prized medicines! Please, do something about this. A few pesos saved would go along way for PWD’s.

@Richard R.S. Sunico,
Hi,
I think the best thing to do is not patronize Mercury if the NCDA cannot yet tackle the drug store “giant” at this time. If we, the less-abled, together with our friends and relatives will patronize other drugstores who care for us, maybe they will grow and branch out and greedy Mercury will soon be extinct

We are glad if you can share with us so that we can be in one same theme in conducting this kind of activities.
Thank You!

How come the list of cities and municipalities processing PWD IDs is not updated? Pasig City is already issuing such ID.
Is Mercury Drug finally giving discount on medicines to PWDs?
