Solo Parents Party-list lauds MRT-3, LRT-2’s free rides on solo parents week
Solo parents were offered free rides on the MRT-3 and LRT-2 on April 26, 2025, in observance of National Solo Parents' Week.
To avail of the free rides, solo parents needed to present a valid Solo Parent Identification Card (SPIC) during specified hours.
The Solo Parents Party-list lauded the initiative, calling it a meaningful act of support and a symbolic recognition of solo parents' hard work.
However, the party-list also highlighted challenges in the application process for SPICs, noting that complicated procedures, lack of awareness, and varying local government implementations hinder many from accessing benefits.
