Senator Bong Go has urged government agencies to streamline the rollout of the Unified PWD ID System. The senator, representing a key legislative role, emphasized the need for a hassle-free registration process for individuals with permanent disabilities.
The National Commission on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (NCDA) and local government units (LGUs) were specifically called upon to ensure the system is accessible and user-friendly. Bong Go highlighted the importance of maintaining lifetime validity for the ID cards, ensuring long-term benefits for those with permanent disabilities.
The Unified PWD ID System aims to consolidate multiple identification documents into a single, valid ID for persons with disabilities. This initiative is part of broader efforts to improve accessibility and support for people with disabilities across the country. Bong Go’s call for simplification comes amid ongoing discussions about administrative efficiency and the rights of marginalized groups. The proposal reflects a growing focus on inclusive governance and the need for policy reforms that address systemic barriers.
