Kalibo Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo, in his effort of empowering Kalibonhons who considered as People With Disabilities (PWDs) and by the authority under Republic Act 7277 or the Magna Carta for People With Disabilities have called on all business establishments and offices both of the government and private enterprises to clear out and have the ramps specifically made for the disabled available at all times. Rebaldo also asked that all privileges and rights the people with disabilities rightly have must be given them.
With 8 million persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the Philippines, the Local Government of Kalibo recognized their rights. The continued support of the local government is seen as a critical factor to bring normalcy into the lives of our physically challenged constituents.
The Municipality of Kalibo is currently in partnership with the Breaking Barriers for Children (BBC) and the Katipunan ng May Kapansanan sa Pilipinas Incorporated (KAMPI) in the operation and maintenance of the Stimulation and Therapeutic Activity Center (STAC) for children with disabilities in the attempt of empowering them and getting them ready to venture into the real world fully capable and proud as a person and not as a physically challenged individual. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
