Mahimo ang driver’s license pag-identify sa senior citizen

Agi’g tubag sa pangutana ni Dr. Danny Dionson sa Mandaue City, ania atong i-reproduce pag-usab ang Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) sa Republic Act 9994 kon Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010 nga nag-amendar sa RA 9257 of 2003.

Rule III – Definition of Terms; 5.5 Identification Document – refers to any document or proof of being a senior citizen which may be used for the availment of benefits and privileges under the Act and its Rules. It shall be any of the following:

a) Senior Citizens’ Identification Card issued by the Office of Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA) in the city or municipality where the elderly resides;

b) The Philippine passport of the elderly person or senior citizens concerned; and

c) Other valid documents that establish the senior citizen or elderly person as a citizen of the Philippines and at least sixty (60) years of age, which shall include but not limited to the following government-issued identification documents indicating the elderly’s birthdate or age: driver’s license, voter’s ID, SSS/GSIS ID, PRC card, postal ID.

Klaro kaayo nga kun nakalimot ka’g dala sa imong OSCA ID, mahimo ang bisan unsa nga government-issued nga ID, sama sa driver’s license, o SSS ID. Ambut ngano nga mo-insister gyud ang ubang mga tindahan nga  policy kuno sa ilang kompaniya nga kinahanglan gyud ang OSCA ID.

Article 23.Violations in Discounted Food Purchases. The following acts concerning food purchases are considered violative of the provisions of the Act and its Rules:

a)Pegging a maximum amount of food purchases subject to 20% discount and the VAT  exemption  and/or posting of notice to that effect.

b)Refusal  to grant the 20% discount and VAT exemption on take-out/take home/drive thru orders it appearing that the purchase is for the exclusive use and enjoyment of senior citizen;

c)Refusal to grant a discount for credit card payments, subject to Article 8; and

d)Refusal to grant 20% and VAT exemption on delivery orders it appearing that the purchase is for the exclusive use and enjoyment of senior citizens. Di na lang nato i-enumerate dinhi ang mga penalties sa mosupak niini, basta kay sama sa ubang mga balaud, duna gyu’y mga silot sa mosupak niini.

Ug ayaw kalimot pagpaminaw sa Senior Citizens Hour sa DYRC matagSabado, 5:00-6:00 pm.
