Also ๐๐๐ this is for the seniors:
Para maka-avail ng SC discount, dapat present mismo si lolo o lola at may dalang valid physical ID (di pwedeng photocopy po opo).
Kung representative ang bibili, kailangan may authorization letter, kopya ng senior ID, at sariling valid ID ng bibili. This is only situational if ang SC patient ay bedridden or naka hospitalized.
READ ๐๐๐
Mga lolo at lola, mga tito at tita, nanay at tatay,
Ugaliin po natin na updated ang reseta.
Bakit po? Para po ba gumastos tayo kay Doc?
Hindi po.
Ginagawa po ito para ma-check kung epektibo pa rin ang gamot na iniinom ninyo.
Pharmacists have the right to deny your medications if your prescription is not updated.
Ginagawa po ito para sa kalusugan ninyo.
Kapag sinabi ng pharmacist na kailangan i-update ang reseta, pumunta muna po kay Doc at magpa-lab.
Alam ko pong additional gastos na naman, pero mas gagastos po kayo kung umiinom kayo ng gamot na hindi niyo na pala kailangan o kailangan nang palitan. ๐

๐ด NO, hindi na kailangan ng OSCA ID lang!
Under FDA Circular No. 2025-005, pharmacies can no longer require the Senior Citizen Purchase Booklet, and any valid government-issued ID showing youโre 60 years old or above is already enough to avail the 20% discount + VAT exemption under RA 9994 (Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010).
Accepted IDs:
โข Driverโs License
โข Passport
โข National ID
โข PhilHealth ID
โข Postal ID
โข Voterโs ID
(any government-issued ID that shows your birthdate!)
โ ๏ธ Still required:
โข Doctorโs prescription (for prescription-only medicines)
In short:
Hindi kailangan ng OSCA ID lang.
Any valid ID showing your age (60+) is okay.
What matters is your age โ not the ID type.
Tag your Lolos and Lolas (if di naka separate FB nila ๐)
