THE Bataan Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) will be holding a Stakeholders Forum on Republic Act 10754 or an Act Expanding the Benefits and Privileges of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) this October 30.
During the recent meeting of the Provincial Council on Disability Affairs, PSWDO head Marilyn Tigas said the activity will feature speakers who will discuss various rights and benefits of PWDs.
“This activity is part of our advocacy to raise awareness on the rights and benefits of our PWDs so they know what to expect when they engage in the community,” Tigas furthered.
The council will invite representatives from the Bureau of Internal Revenue, drug stores, supermarkets, transport agencies, and other concerned local establishments.
Among the benefits and privileges under RA 10754 are special discounts on basic goods and prime commodities, priority in public transportation and parking spaces, and express lanes in all government and commercial establishments. (PIA Central Luzon)
