The DILG's active participation in National Disability Rights Week, led by MSWDO Ms. Jovelyn Poligrates, demonstrating our dedication to fostering an inclusive society. The event, attended by Mayor Marissa Manigsaca, OIC-MLGOO Mr. Marc Ramos, and other officials, reinforces this dedication.

This year's theme, "Promoting Inclusion: Celebrating Abilities and Advocating Access," is brought to life with the insightful presentation by OIC-MLGOO Ms. Caress Haema T. Ilagan all the way from the Municipality of Siocon.

Ms. Ilagan's expertise/knowledge sheds light on the crucial rights and laws protecting Persons With Disabilities (PWD), emphasizing accessibility and inclusion. Her presentation highlighted the importance of creating a society where everyone can thrive, regardless of their abilities.

Her message resonated deeply with the PWD community, empowering them with knowledge about the benefits they are entitled to and their rights when facing discrimination. So they can have the tools to stand up for themselves and seek justice against those who violate their rights.

We are incredibly grateful for Ms. Ilagan for her participation & valuable contribution in this program. Together, we strive for a society that values and empowers all individuals.
