The celebration of the 48th National Disability Rights Week was truly a meaningful and successful event as we came together to uphold this year’s theme, “Rights First, Legislation Forward – Strategic Action for Equal Participation and Inclusive Development.”
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Benjamin P. Bautista, Jr., for his unwavering support and commitment to the PWD community. We also sincerely thank Hon. Benjamin “Enteng” T. Bautista III, Hon. Esma Bautista-Dumama, MPA, and Engr. Bryan T. Bautista for taking the time to celebrate with us and for their continued support of programs that promote inclusion and equal opportunities.
Our sincere appreciation also goes to our Guest Speaker, Dr. Glinard L. Quezada, FPSGS, MBA-HA, Medical Center Chief I, DOGH, and to Mr. Leonilo Solitana, Provincial PWD Focal Person/PDAO Designate, for sharing inspiring messages that encouraged us to continue advocating for the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities.
A special thank you to Ma’am Ferry Luz M. Bisenio, RSW, MSSW, and to the dedicated PWD and OSCA Personnel headed by Ma’am Ann Lynnette D. Saripa, PWD Focal Person, for all your hard work in making this celebration possible.
Most importantly, thank you to all our Persons with Disabilities who joined us. Your presence made this celebration more meaningful and reminds us that together, we can build a more inclusive community where everyone is valued and given equal opportunities.
Happy 48th National Disability Rights Week! 💙♿
