00:00 Good news for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
00:05 Because you have been given a discount on the amount you will buy.
00:10 How and when will it be implemented?
00:13 In the next episode of "Pagtutok ni Bernadette Reyes".
00:15 Senior citizen Anniseta only brought 1,000 pesos for the grocery.
00:24 She is short of money to buy all the necessities.
00:27 I couldn't buy bread because I'm short of money.
00:31 For now, there is a discount of P65 per week for senior citizens and persons with disabilities
00:38 for basic necessities and prime commodities like locally produced fish, meat,
00:43 and some grocery items like sugar, cooking oil, toiletries, and flour.
00:48 5% of the 1,300 pesos is the maximum expense that can be applied by the discount.
00:53 Starting next week, through the new Joint Administrative Order
00:57 signed by the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Agriculture, and Department of Energy,
01:02 the discount that senior citizens and persons with disabilities can get will increase.
01:07 The special discount is still 5%.
01:09 But the discount can be given up to 2,500 pesos.
01:13 That is equivalent to the 125 pesos discount per week.
01:17 The senior citizen discount of 20% is not applicable to all products.
01:22 So that's why we came up with a 5% that's applicable to those
01:27 which are not subject to the 20% senior citizen discount.
01:33 Aside from the grocery items that can be considered basic necessities and prime commodities,
01:38 vegetables, fruits, and rice can also be given a discount,
01:41 except for specialty rice.
01:43 There is also a 5% discount every five months in LPG.
01:47 To avoid the excessive benefit, it should not be less than four different types of items to be purchased.
01:54 For example, two cans of sardines, one pack of coffee, milk, and soap.
02:00 The full discount for the week of the 125 pesos cannot be applied to just one item.
02:06 It should be for four items.
02:08 For example, not just one item of the purchase, but the 125 pesos should be applied.
02:17 That's the total purchase for the week.
02:19 To avail a special discount for PWD and senior citizens, documents must be stamped.
02:25 For senior citizens, for example, you must bring your senior citizen ID
02:30 or any valid government ID and the so-called purchase booklet.
02:34 The discount is also extended for online purchases.
02:37 It is now applicable to online purchases.
02:40 Establishments are free to enforce and implement the requirement of ID and purchase.
02:47 Registered Bambi and co-ops, small businesses,
02:52 no longer need to give a 5% special discount.
02:58 For GMA Integrated News, Bernadette Reyes, Nakatuto, 24 Hours.
