A powerful convergence of advocates, trailblazers, and changemakers took place during the Philippine National Federations of Persons with Disabilities (PNFPWD) National General Assembly and Summit from February 24–27 at One Tagaytay Place Hotel Suites, Tagaytay City.

The five-day gathering united the nation’s strongest voices in the disability sector—leaders and champions committed to shaping a more inclusive and accessible future for all Filipinos. Anchored on solidarity and shared purpose, the summit became a dynamic platform for collaboration, policy discussion, and empowerment.

The program formally opened with welcome remarks from Philippine National Federation Chair Bonifacio Castigador, who underscored the importance of unity and collective action in advancing the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities (PWDs) nationwide.

Delivering the keynote message was Glenda D. Relova, Director of the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA), who highlighted the government’s continued commitment to mainstreaming disability-inclusive policies and strengthening partnerships with federations and local government units. She emphasized that inclusion must go beyond compliance—it must be embedded in governance, development planning, and everyday community life.

Representing the host region, REGION IV-A Federation President Danilo Emelo expressed gratitude for the overwhelming participation and reaffirmed CALABARZON’s support for national initiatives that uplift the PWD community.

Ms. Marie Shiela Haloc, Provincial Disability Affairs Officer, attended the event on behalf of Governor Francisco Gabriel “Abeng” Remulla, conveying the Provincial Government of Cavite’s full support for programs that champion inclusivity and accessibility.

On Day 1 (February 24), participants engaged in an eye-opening learning session entitled “Katawa-tawa lang ba ang PWD?” facilitated by Mr. Crisaldo Pablo of PWDigitables Channel. The discussion tackled persistent stereotypes, discrimination, and the importance of respectful representation of persons with disabilities in media and society. The session sparked meaningful dialogue among delegates, reinforcing the need to challenge harmful narratives and promote dignity and empowerment.

Meanwhile, the Tagaytay City Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) shared the city’s best practices in implementing disability-friendly initiatives, showcasing local efforts that can serve as models for other LGUs.

In the succeeding days, the summit will delve into critical thematic discussions including Inclusive Tourism, Inclusive Agriculture, and Inclusive Services Industry. These sessions will explore innovative strategies and practical approaches to ensure that PWDs are not merely beneficiaries but active contributors to economic development across various sectors. — OPIO
