On July 30, 2026, we had the privilege of participating in the Orientation on the 48th National Disability Rights Week, held at the Municipal Town Hall, Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat, with the theme:
βRights First, Legislation Forward: Strategic Action for Equal Participation and Inclusive Development.β
The orientation provided a meaningful opportunity to strengthen our understanding of disability rights, inclusive development, and equal participation, while reminding us of our shared responsibility to ensure that persons with disabilities are empowered, respected, and given equal opportunities to actively participate in our community.
Our sincere gratitude goes to Junaina G. G**o, RSW, MPA, SWO I, Regional PWD Focal Person, and Shinny S. Araza, RSW, for generously sharing their knowledge, expertise, and valuable insights during the orientation. Your dedication to promoting and protecting the rights of persons with disabilities is truly inspiring. π
We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to our beloved Mayor, Hon. CHARLES FEDERIC R. PLOTEΓA, and Vice Mayor, Hon. HELEN T. LATOG, for their unwavering support and commitment to programs and initiatives that promote the welfare, dignity, rights, and inclusion of persons with disabilities in our municipality. Through your dedication and commitment to inclusive governance, you help build a community where everyone is valued, empowered, and given the opportunity to participate and contribute meaningfully.
