i am disabled.
generally my pain is expressed through my right leg, making my feet very choosy about footwear
i happened to find a pair in ebay that my feet might like.
the footwear? Fitflops. Supposedly authentic - well the price seems to be authentic
but never mind the price because my feet are happy - and i do try to pamper my feet
so if you are debating footwear and you have some money squirreled away
try fitflops - you will like the feel

FOR PRESIDENT AQUINO AND THE BIR
i want to ask why the working disabled is discriminated against by the government, most particularly the BIR
POSTULATE:
The Government discriminates against the revenue-earning disabled.
PROOF:
The disabled already is burdened with his physical concerns, and many of them require medication, special equipment, or special treatment (physical therapy) . SENIORS ENJOY A TAX-FREE DISCOUNT. PWDS HAVE TO PAY TAX.
THOSE PWDS WHO ARE EARNING ARE TAXED IN THE SAME WAY AS REGULAR PERSONS. THOSE WHO SUFFER NO DISABILITY.
CONCLUSION:
THE GOVERNMENT IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THE DISABLED.Monday, May 20, 2013
Are you disabled? or have a loved one who is?
if you are and you find it difficult to access government buildings, or if they do not provide sufficient access to the disabled, please report them. by law, government buildings must provide access to the disabled.
also, if any employee of that institution ridicule or yell at disabled persons and you bear witness to this abuse, you may likewise report the employer. i do think it is best to complain to the media, since - like he-man, they have the power. *grins*
i was at the North door of the SSS building. Just in case you did not know it, this entrance/exit provides disabled access. It has a ramp for those in wheelchairs. Also, there are fewer steps up than the main entrance if the disabled person can manage the stairs.
at any rate, an SSS employee - she was in uniform - was screaming at the driver of a tricycle for letting off passengers by the stairs, and it seems that SSS issued a memorandum where passengers can disembark. What this SSS employee ignored - is that the person exiting the trike was disabled, managing by utilizing a cane.
i wanted to report this woman, this SSS employee for being discourteous, and for harassing a person, a member with disability. there is a disability law that disallows persons to harangue, abuse, or make fun of disabled persons.
it is unbecoming of a government employee to harass persons with disability as this person was certainly doing. she should be censored by their human resource head. Perhaps it is time for SSS to remind their employees to practice courteous behavior.
as for this employee, i decided not to report her for one main reason - one day she will pay her debts, and i did not want to be responsible for her possible reprimand, or possible admin case .....

RA 10524
Wow. Did i call it or what....didnt i just post something on this last April 30? But the doing, or the teeth of such an Act depends on its implementing guidelines. Filipinos are over-taxed because regular employees are taxed under the Gross Income Scheme, and yet, we pay real estate taxes with monies that have been already grossly taxed and poor working PWDs are even worse off, they are over-over-taxed. No additional benefit because they work and no VAT relief on the medicines they have to purchase, unlike the Seniors?
Burdens upon burdens indeed.
However, as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and this Act depends on the IRR that will be drawn up hopefully soon.
The agencies involved in drafting the IRR are:
DOLE (Department of Labor and Employment)
CSC (Civil Service Commission)
NCDA (National Council on Disability Affairs)
GCG (Governance Commission for Goverment-Owned or Government-Controlled Corporations
DOH (Department of Health)
DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development)
and the most burdensome agency
BIR (Bureau of Internal Revenue)
