Online registration of PWDs in NegOr ongoing

THE Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office in Negros Oriental is encouraging persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the province to be counted and join the ongoing online registration for the differently-abled.

This invitation includes PWD voters’ registration for the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

“We are working on gathering data to capture the number of PWDs in each local government unit in the province,” said Provincial Social Welfare officer Alice Lagarde.

Meanwhile, Lagarde said the province will mark the National Disability and Prevention Week celebration on July 17 to 23.

The celebration will be highlighted by a provincial convention for the almost 250 differently-abled persons from across the province.
