Disability is often seen as the result of a person's medical condition or impairment. Consequently, the impacts of disability, such as limited job options or difficulty in accessing physical spaces, are viewed as unfortunate but unavoidable challenges that people with disabilities will endure. Barriers to society, education, and employment keep people with disabilities living in poverty. While there are benefits given by the government such as disability legislation that has aided the disabled in the Philippines for many years. And the passage of Republic Act 7277 or the Magna Carta for people with disabilities in 1991, allowing all disabled citizens to receive a minimum 20% discount from stores and services. Filipinos with disabilities, especially women, have experienced widespread discrimination and marginalization in various aspects of life. Despite legal assurances in the Magna Carta, there remains significant barriers to their full participation in society and this includes the stigma surrounding disabilities and society’s limited understanding of their abilities and aspirations. Many remain segregated and marginalized, living in isolation and insecurity. While there is little established data on disability in the Philippines, 10% is the estimated rate, and less than 3% of students with disabilities have proper access to education due to inadequate resources.

Firstly, we aim to spread awareness and educate people about disabilities, including the spectrum of disabilities, the causes, and the challenges and barriers faced by people with disabilities with the use of various social media platforms specifically Tiktok, Facebook and X. We are to promote inclusive practices and policies, such as accommodations in education, employment, and services, to ensure equitable participation by people with disabilities. And most importantly, we are to take initiatives through events that focuses on people with disabilities through the help of active organizations like The Asia Foundation and their partnerships, local governments, the private sector, and the media to mobilize public support. Our aim is to speak up about the inherent dignity of people with disabilities, emphasizing their rights to live and fully participate in society rather than being reduced to just surviving. We are to bring awareness about their hidden abuse and exploitation within society, while emphasizing the importance of building a more inclusive and accessible society for everyone. It is no stranger that even in this modern era, people with disabilities are still being treated with discrimination, denying them accommodations and worse, being abused or violated for having a medical condition in which they have no control of. According to Philippine Statistic Authority (PSA), In the Philippines, there are 1,187,563 registered “Persons with Disabilities” as of August 2023 as reported by the National Council on Disability Affairs. These individuals deserve protection from the State as part of our justice system against violators.
