THE Western Visayas Regional Council for Disability Affairs is hosting a two-day summit for persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Iloilo City, one of the many ways government agencies in the Visayas will be celebrating National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (NDPR) Week.
NDPR Week, which falls on July 17 to 23, carries the theme “Mainstreaming Persons with Disabilities Program in Economic Development.”
Blesilda T. Mabilog, Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) consultant and team leader in Iloilo City, sees the summit as the perfect opportunity to highlight the need to implement Memorandum Circular 2010-103 issued by Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo in 2010.
