PWD Philippines took to Facebook as they reacted to JM Rodriguez's post.

The said organization which supports Persons with Disabilities (PWD), posted a screenshot of JM's FB post, where he ranted against some kids he encountered in a burger restaurant.

He accused them of using 'fake' PWD IDs to be be able to use priority lane and jokingly said that he is jealous of them.

PWD Philippines explained that there are various types of disabilities and not only those who use wheelchairs

They also repudiated JM's claims about fake PWD IDs because according to them, it is not easy to create such a thing.

They added that the Department of Health (DOH) monitors everyone who owns IDs.

"Sa mga hindi nakaka-intindi, ang pagiging PWD ay hindi kailangang naka wheelchair lang. May dalawang uri po ng PWD, yung may apparent disability, tulad ng naka wheelchair, at yung non-apparent tulad ng may epilepsy, stroke and cancer survivors, lupus, etc."
"Nawa'y mas maintindihan ito ni Mr JM Rodriguez. hindi po napepeke nang madali ang PWD ID dahil may database po ang DOH na nakamonitor lahat ng may ID."
