00:00 A program for our countrymen with disabilities and special needs
00:05 was held in a hospital in Caloocan.
00:08 It is the anniversary of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
00:14 Let's take a look at what happened that day.
00:19 People with disabilities have a significant contribution to our society.
00:27 Despite the limitations they face,
00:31 they still remain strong and able to fight and succeed in life.
00:37 As the International Day of Persons with Disabilities is celebrated every year,
00:42 on December 3,
00:43 Dr. Jose and Rodriguez Memorial Hospital and Sanitarium
00:48 and the Livelihood Education and Rehabilitation Center
00:51 held a special event to help people with disabilities in the community.
00:57 This is the unveiling of the marker for the third decade of persons with disabilities
01:01 year 2023 to 2032.
01:05 This initiative is a declaration of a decade-long commitment
01:10 to address the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities in the region.
01:15 It is also the aim to strengthen inclusivity and empowerment for them.
01:20 Our hospital is also affiliated with the Performance Government System
01:26 which is part of the hospital's roadmap
01:30 to address corporate social responsibility.
01:33 As long as we are committed to this corporate social responsibility,
01:38 we will ensure that our women with disabilities
01:45 will be helped by our hospital, aside from medical needs.
01:50 Some of the initiatives they launched
01:53 are the Sustainable Food Security Agriculture Initiative
01:56 and the Grand Opening of Green Cafe,
01:58 which they opened for the public.
02:01 It is the duty of our fellow citizens with persons with disabilities.
02:07 They are in charge of all the plans,
02:12 they conceptualize it,
02:13 and all the benefits in terms of income will go to them.
02:20 We can say that they are doing a self-sustaining project.
02:25 Many of our fellow citizens with disabilities
02:28 have more abilities than normal people.
02:33 We give them importance,
02:36 we encourage them to stand on their own two feet.
02:41 We help them.
02:43 The KADIWA Store and Trade Fair are also held here,
02:46 where you can see the products of persons with disabilities.
02:51 Some of the participants are the Association of Persons with Disabilities.
02:57 According to them,
02:58 this kind of projects are very helpful for persons with disabilities.
03:05 We are very happy.
03:06 We will show the PWD projects
03:11 to the people.
03:16 It is not like before,
03:21 we were not noticed.
03:22 But now, we are noticed.
03:26 To my fellow PWD participants,
03:29 do not be ashamed to show your talent,
03:34 just like us.
03:37 Let us show the community that even if we are PWD,
03:43 we can still accompany non-PWD.
03:47 Persons with disabilities should not only be seen through their appearance,
03:53 but also as individuals who have dreams,
03:56 ambitions, and the ability to accompany in any field.
