Republic Act No. 10754, also known as the Act Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of Persons with Disability (PWD), is a law in the Philippines that enhances the benefits and privileges for PWDs. This includes a 20% discount and exemption from the value-added tax (VAT) on various goods and services such as medical and dental services, transportation fares, and admission fees to recreational venues.

For children with disabilities, this law is particularly impactful as it ensures they receive necessary medical care and support at reduced costs. It also promotes their inclusion in society by making recreational and educational facilities more accessible and affordable.
