Letting the “differently able”
excel like Mabini
|
|
Today is the end of the National Disability Prevention and
Rehabilitation, or NDPR, Week. Since July 19 various programs all
over the country have been celebrating the 30th year that the
National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation movement has
devoted seven days to highlight the necessary work in Philippine
society to make opportunities for improvement and achieving
excellence accessible to persons with disabilities.
One of the signs we see that the National
Council on Disability Affairs, an agency under the Office of the
President of the Philippines, is more concerned with real
performance than just public relations is its decision to call a
spade a spade, its refusal to curry favor with bleeding hearts who
value fashionably politically correct vocabulary. It has not changed
its name to “National Council on Affairs of the Differently
Able.”

seems ordinary. But it has become political news because it
threatens to remove a winning congresswoman from the seat she is now
occupying.

Where does charity
begin?

ease the pain and suffering of those who are victims of tragedies,
disasters and other misfortunes.
