Vice Presidential candidate Sara Duterte guaranteed the public that he will do the programs of Davao City to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) after her visit to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) compound in Escopa Quezon City.
Presidential Daughter reiterated the importance of providing more jobs and livelihood training for PWDs, citing that the Government of Davao had managed to cater to their needs.
According to Sara, ““Sa Davao City, gusto nila (PWDs) meron silang autonomy sa pagpapatakbo ng opisina. Kaya ‘yun po ang tinatrabaho namin na hindi na po sila naka-attach sa aming City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).”
Duterte mentioned that CSWDO is an independent office and can decide on its own projects and policies for them.
Daisy Lumalang, 54, one of the attendees of the event and orthopedically impaired since she was 2 years old, expressed her gratitude to Sara Duterte for serving the PWD Sector.
Lumalang told, “Malaki po ang pasasalamat naming mga PWD na bumisita si Mayor Sara dito dahil alam namin na tunay ang kanyang malasakit sa lahat — lalong lalo na sa aming mga may kapansanan.”
Lumalang reiterated that Mayor Sara helps many PWDs in Davao City and can also apply it to the entire Philippines. She also hoped for Sara to win the coming May 9 polls.
In the event, Duterte discussed business security and its importance citing that it is the key to attaining financial stability.
