Bacolod to honor out-of-town PWD cards without QR code

The city government has advised business establishments here to honor the persons with disability identification cards issued by other local government units . In an advisory on Friday, it said the use of the newly-issued PWD IDs bearing the city's official seal and approved security features, including a quick response code, applies only to PWDs who are residents of Bacolod. 'This is for Bacolod City residents alone.

Last February, Mayor Alfredo Abelardo Benitez ordered the DSSD to recall all the existing PWD ID cards so the city could “ensure data security, comply with updated regulations, and address other relevant concerns regarding the PWD cards, including indiscriminate issuance.” In Executive Order 010, series of 2024, Benitez said a way to stop the proliferation of fake PWD IDs is the installation or provision of QR codes and other security features on the ID card.
