Statement of the Quezon City Government
The Quezon City Persons with Disability Affairs Office (QC-PDAO) is coordinating with the Pasay City local government following a viral incident involving a person with disability at National Bookstore, SM North EDSA, Quezon City.
The QC-PDAO is also reaching out to the family of the Pasay City resident to offer all appropriate assistance within its mandate, including access to legal support and other available services.
We support the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) in its efforts to establish the facts and resolve the matter swiftly, fairly, and in accordance with the law.
The QC-PDAO reiterates that no personโincluding persons with disabilitiesโshould ever be subjected to abuse, degrading treatment, or any form of inhumane conduct. Every individual is entitled to dignity, respect, safety, and protection.
The Quezon City Government remains firmly committed to upholding the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities and to ensuring that they receive the assistance and protection they deserve.
