🌟 Celebrating National Disability Rights Week in Makilala! 🌟
A resounding success! We are thrilled to share that over 400 participants from various barangays gathered to celebrate National Disability Rights Week. In line with this year’s nationwide theme, "Rights First, Legislation Forward: Strategic Action for Equal Participation and Inclusive Development" our municipality stood together to champion inclusion, empowerment, and access for all.
This monumental event was made possible through the unified efforts of the PWD presidents from every barangay, working hand-in-hand with the PWD Federation of Makilala and the Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office (PDAO) under the MSWDO.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our ever-supportive Mayor, Hon. Armando M. Quibod, Vice Mayor Atty. Ryan D. Tabanay, and the Sangguniang Bayan members. Your relentless dedication to uplifting this sector makes initiatives like this a reality.
A special thank you to our partner line agencies DOLE, COMELEC, DTI, and BJMP for gracing the event and sharing invaluable avenues of support and services with the community. Furthermore, our heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Rural Health Unit of Makilala for their vital partnership in conducting free medical checkups and distributing free prescribed medicines to the attendees.
Together, we continue to build a more inclusive, accessible, and supportive Makilala for everyone! 💜
