LRT Staff member reprimands a Father and his Daughter in wheelchair for Allegedly Disturbing Passengers

• Netizen calls out an LRT staff member who reprimanded a disabled person because her wheelchair obstructing the way for other passengers.
• The father asked the netizen to just let it be.

The staff of Philippine’s railway transportation systems has continuously reminded everyone to prioritize the senior citizens, passengers with children in tow, pregnant women and persons with disabilities.

However, a Facebook user named Nyl Yajra posted about a heartless LRT staff, reprimanding a father and his daughter, who is on a wheelchair.

According to the post, the netizen saw the duo rode the train almost every day. But in that one particular day, they got scolded by a staff member, saying that the girl’s wheelchair is disturbing the passengers (who were trying to get their seats inside the train).

Halos araw-araw kong nakakasabay sa LRT1 ang mag amang eto na sumasakay sa edsa going pedro gil-PGH. Pero ngaun may isang staff ng LRT na sumuway sa ama na sinabing nakakasagabal sa ibang uupo ang wheelchair ng dalagita ,ang ginawa ng ama tumayo na lang at gumilid . Kunsidirasyon lang sana gayong may sakit ang kasama ni tatay,imbis na sawayin sana binigyan ng priority .

Yang picture na yan pababa na ang mag-ama,i just took picture kc ang sakit sa loob ko ang ginawa ng staff ng lrt.

Netizens were shocked by such treatment considering that they vow to prioritize the passengers in need by providing them their own space and encouraging everyone to do the same.

This one Facebook user stated that there’s an ‘accessibility law’ that covers those who are riding wheelchairs.

meron tayong batas na “accessibility law” para sa mga taong naka wheel chair. 
idiot yung guard at hindi nya alam na priority sa pagsakay sa anumang public transpo ang may kapansanan

Ayaw man natin matahin sila dahil yun lang kinaya ng utak nilang trabaho, sila pa yung mga ubod ng gaspang. Sablay talaga sa customer service.

In a follow-up comment, the concerned citizen said that she has talked to the father and daughter. They advised her to just let it be.
