Umani ng reaksiyon at komento mula sa mga netizen ang post ng isang motivational speaker, entrepreneur, at author na si Jonathan Yabut, na sapul sa mga taong gumagamit ng person with disability (PWD) card para makakuha ng discounts, pero ang totoo ay namemeke lamang ng kondisyon.
"Dear friend who is using a PWD card, but you're faking the condition because you're greedy to enjoy the discounts," aniya.
Pahabol pa niya, "I pray that you don't turn out to be genuinely a PWD in the future."
Sa dagdag na pananaw ni Yabut, nakakalungkot lang daw na puwede na kasing pekein ang lahat ngayon, kahit ang medical certificates, para lamang magamit sa pagkakaroon ng PWD card, na magagamit sa iba't ibang diskwento at pribilehiyo. Siya raw mismo ang nakasaksi nito mula sa isang kaibigang may kaanak na doktor.
"The saddest part is that it's easy to fake medical certs so people can get a PWD card too. And that there are doctors also who take part in issuing those fake certs as well, including for their relatives. Had to call out a friend who did this and even bragged about it. It is very unfair to the real PWDs, and also for the businesses who grant the discounts. There must be stricter controls for this," giit niya.
Marami rin umanong transaksyon para sa PWD card ang naglipana sa Facebook Marketplace.
Narito naman ang ilan sa mga reaksiyon at komento ng netizens.
"This is what I'm saying! I remember when someone offered me a PWD card for discounts, but I declined. I couldn't compromise my integrity. Let's acknowledge that being a PWD isn't a joking matter, and they deserve all the benefits they can get."
"Daming hanash nila dito. Kung di mo pinifake disability/condition mo, then this post is not intended for you. Totoo naman talagang may namemeke, bat ikaw magdradrama dito kung di ka naman kasali sa namemeke? Imagine the convinience sana na binibigay para sa mga totoong pwd sa pila, then uunahan lang sa mga nameke?"
"The govt should check if it's legit. But with the Philippines. Lol as long as you know someone or you can bribe. You can do it. Most government employees are busy filling up their pockets."
"How were they able to get a PWD ID in the first place? Unless may connection? Napakahirap mag comply ng requirements just to avail that ID."
Paglilinaw ni Yabut, hindi raw niya binabanatan ang mga lehitimong PWD kundi iyon lamang namemeke.
"Daming na-trigger If you're genuinely PWD and you went through the legit process, this post's intention is to CHAMPION and DISTINGUISH you from the fake ones. PWD conditions can be visible OR invisible. You cannot fake disability obviously, but you can fake med certs, fake IDs, and fake paperwork. Know the difference folks and please apply critical thinking," aniya.
"ALSO DISABILITY ang mga nagcocomment na hindi nagets ang essence ng message Magbasa at intidihin ng mabuti bago ma-trigger. The message CLEARLY says "Faked" (PWD card was not legitimitately acquired + is in good fit condition). Kaya di tayo umuunlad eh."
