Dear friends,
An advocacy group of persons with disabilities will hand in to President Noynoy some documents. Among the documents that will be handed in are copies of Policy Notes released by PIDS regarding the Livelihood Survey of Persons with Disabilities in Metro Manila, draft copy of law on establishing personal assistance service, and the Bangkok Recommendation adopted during the Regional Congress. The Bangkok Recommendation proposes actions and strategies for the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities which our government has ratified but has failed to uphold and implement miserably. The group will go to President Noynoy's Times Street residence in Quezon City on Thursday, July 8, 2010 at 6am.
Two members of this group (Abner Manlapaz and Benjamin Bernandino) participated in the just recently concluded Asia Pacific Disabled Peoples' Organizations (DPOs) United: Regional Congress toward the Establishment of the Regional Decade on Effective Implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), 21-22 June, UN C4, UNESCAP, Bangkok.
Thank you.
