NDPR Week |
|
THE 29th National Disability Prevention and
Rehabilitation Week on July 17 to 23 highlights the government’s
efforts toward the prevention of the causes of disabilities and the
rehabilitation and equalization of opportunities for people with
disabilities. This event aims to pay homage to the approximately 8.5
million Filipinos with disabilities whom we consider one of the
least recognized sectors of the Philippine society.
The celebration culminates on the
birthday of one of our great heroes, Apolinario Mabini, the
“Sublime Paralytic.”
