Dear Chief Acosta,

Ang aking tiyahin ay isang taon nang may kapansanan. Mayroong ipinadala sa kanya na libro galing sa ibang bansa ngunit, pinapagba­yad siya sa post office ng postal charges. Tama ba ito? —Monica

Dear Monica,

Para sa inyong kaalaman, ang inyong suliranin ay tinatalakay sa Republic Act No. 7277 o “An Act Providing for the Rehabilitation, Self-Development and Self-Reliance of Disabled Persons and their Integration into the Mainstream of Society and for Other Purposes, as Amended by Republic Act No. 9442.” Nabanggit sa Section 24 ng nasabing batas na kilala rin bilang “Magna Carta for Disabled Persons” na:

“Sec. 24. Free Postal Charges for the Disabled. Postal charges shall be free on the following:

(a) articles and literatures like books and periodicals, orthopaedic and other devices, and teaching aids for the use of the disabled sent by mail within the Philippines and abroad; and

(b) aids and orthopaedic devices for the disabled sent by abroad by mail for repair:

Provided, that the aforesaid items are for personal purposes only: Provided, further, that the disabled person is a marginalized disabled as certified by the Social Welfare and Development Office of the local government unit concerned or the Department of Social Welfare and Development.” (Binigyang-diin)

Sang-ayon sa nabanggit na probisyon ng batas, ang postal charges sa mga libro, periodical at iba pang kagamitan para sa taong may kapansanan ay libre kapag ito ay para sa kanyang personal na paggamit at kapag siya ay sertipikado bilang marginalized person with disability ng Social Welfare and Development Office sa kanilang lugar o ng Department of Social Welfare and Development.
