Last September, City of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno partnered with PayMaya to enable PWD's, Senior Citizens and Solo Parents to receive their monthly financial benefits from the City thru the Paymaya app.
To avail of such benefits, we went to a special registration event and here's what transpired.\
During the last week of October, I heard a commotion in our compound and it turned out that our local barangay officials came to inform Senior Citizens in our area to proceed to a registration venue for them to apply for their Paymaya card. With a Paymaya card, their monthly financial stipend from the local government will be directly deposited to it for convenience.
Now when I heard of it, I didn't immediately connect it with benefits for PWD's or Persons with Disabilities. But later on, I asked the barangay if PWDs will also need to register (Dylan is a PWD) and they said "Yes". Toinks! They didn't mention it when they went house-to-house.
Anyway, one day after Dylan's school, we went to the venue where my Titas and Titos registered. Unfortunately, the schedule for our barangay was over and that our only option was to return during the Late Registration schedule. The staff, however, gave us a list of requirements to prepare to submit once we return. Here it is:
- Valid ID of the PWD (original and photocopy)
- Voter's ID or Voter's Registration (original and photocopy)
- Barangay Residency certificate
- Another Valid ID
- 1 cellphone SIM Card
- Birth Certificate of the PWD (original and photocopy) and representative if the PWD is not a voter
