How It Works

After the receipt.
Before you leave.

A completed transaction with an issued receipt constitutes the legal basis for any complaint. That is when Diskwento steps in.

1
Transaction Complete
After paying and receiving your receipt, open Diskwento Mobile App PH to verify the computation against your actual receipt.
2
Enter and Compare
Input your items and the amount charged on the receipt. The app instantly shows the correct amount and whether it matches.
3
Act on Discrepancy
If overcharged, file a formal report to DTI, NCDA, or your local PDAO — with your geotagged receipt photo as evidence.
// Correct computation per Philippine law
VAT-inclusive (price ÷ 1.12) × 0.80
VAT-exempt price × 0.80

// Example: ₱112.00 VAT-inclusive item
₱112.00 ÷ 1.12 = ₱100.00 // VAT removed
₱100.00 × 0.80 = ₱80.00 // correct amount to pay

Legal Basis

Built on
Philippine law.

Every computation in Diskwento Mobile App PH is grounded in existing Philippine legislation protecting PWDs and Senior Citizens.

RA 7277 — As Amended
Magna Carta for Persons with Disability
Grants PWDs a 20% discount and VAT exemption on medicine, food, transportation, and other essential goods and services.
RA 9994 — Expanded
Expanded Senior Citizens Act of 2010
Grants Senior Citizens aged 60 and above a 20% discount and VAT exemption on food, medicine, utilities, and transportation.
NIRC — Section 109
VAT Exemption Provision
The VAT exemption means the 12% VAT is removed before the 20% discount is applied — not after. This is the formula most establishments get wrong.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Diskwento Mobile App PH ("the App") is developed and maintained by Carlo Corcuera. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the App.

1. Information We Collect

The App operates primarily offline and does not require an account. We collect only the following anonymous data when you submit a complaint report:

  • City or municipality where the incident occurred

  • Overcharge amount
  • Recipients the report was addressed to
  • App version and timestamp

No personally identifiable information — including your name, email address, phone number, or device identifier — is collected or transmitted.

  • Device identifiers or advertising IDs
  • Location data beyond what you explicitly attach to a report photo

3. How We Use Anonymous Data

Anonymous report statistics are used solely to track patterns of PWD and Senior Citizen discount violations across the Philippines, improve the App, and support consumer rights advocacy. This data is never sold or shared with advertisers.

  • Expo and React Native — the framework used to build the App.
  • iOS Mail Composer — opens your device's native Mail app when sending complaint emails. The App does not access your email account directly.

All transaction history and report drafts are stored locally on your device only using AsyncStorage. This data is not transmitted to any server and is automatically deleted after 2 days.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is it available on the App Store?
Yes! You can download Diskwento on the App Store or simply search “Diskwento” on your iPhone.
Is it also available on Google Play?
Not yet publicly — we’re currently in closed testing on Android and need 12 testers to go live. Want to be one of them? Join the beta program and be among the first Android users.
Is Diskwento free?
Yes. Diskwento Mobile App PH is completely free. No account required, no subscription, no hidden fees. Ever.
Who can use this app?
Any PWD or Senior Citizen (60+) in the Philippines, as well as their family members and caregivers.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. All computations run locally on your device. Internet is only needed when submitting a complaint report.
Does the app work with multiple discounts on one receipt?
Not yet. The app follows what the law says — the discount applies to what the PWD or Senior personally buys. The tricky part is there’s no standard on how establishments apply it. Some put it on the most expensive item, some on the cheapest, some split it equally across everything — it really depends on the place. So we focused on the legally straightforward computation first, but we’re definitely watching how this plays out for future updates. 👀
What is the correct discount formula?
Per Philippine law, VAT is removed first, then the 20% discount is applied: (price ÷ 1.12) × 0.80. Many establishments get this wrong — this app catches that.
How can customers dispute an irregularity?
If you’re still at the counter, just show them the computation — most of the time that’s enough to get it corrected on the spot. But if they refuse or you’ve already left, that’s where the Report feature comes in. Once you have your receipt, Diskwento computes the discrepancy and lets you file a formal complaint right from the app — with your receipt photo, item photo, and address. You then choose which agency to send it to: DTI, NCDA, or your local LGU.
What if the establishment refuses to correct the amount?
Use the Report feature to file a formal complaint to DTI, NCDA, and your local PDAO/OSCA with a geotagged receipt photo as evidence.
Is my personal information collected?
No. Only anonymous incident data is recorded when you submit a report. Never your name, email, or device ID.
