Tagalog News: Persons with Disability sa Caraga

pagparehistro ng PWDs online

BUTUAN CITY, Hulyo 29 (PIA) - Masayang dinaluhan ng
mga Persons with Disability (PWDs) sa probinsya ng Agusan del Norte ang
dalawang araw na Hands-on Training on the Utilization of Philippine Registry
for Persons with Disability na ginanap dito sa lungsod ng Butuan.
Nasa mahigit 50 na mga PWDs ang naimbitahan sa
nasabing hands-on training na pinangunahan ng Provincial Social Welfare and
Development Office (PSWDO) sa nasabing probinsya.
Ayon kay Ana Flerida Labanon, regional program
coordinator ng National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA), layon ng nasabing
training ay ang turuan at maibahagi sa mga PWDs ang tamang proseso ng
pagrehistro online.
Dagdag pa ni Labanon, makakatulong ang hands-on
training upang maseguradong tama ang datus o impormasyon na mailalagay sa
database ng mga persons with disability hindi lamang sa probinysa ng Agusan del
Norte, kundi pati na sa ibang probinsya ng Caraga region.
Magagamit rin umano ito ng gobyerno sa pagtukoy sa
mga kinakailangang programa na makakatugon sa mga kinakaharap ng PWDs at
maibigay ang akmang serbisyo para sa kanila.
Ipinahayag naman ni Mylyn Gunio, ang Provincial
Federation of PWDs president sa Agusan del Norte, na lubos ang kanilang
kasiyahan na patuloy na tumutulong ang gobyerno sa tulad nilang may kapansanan.
Positibo umano sila na mga PWDs na sa pamamagitan ng online registration, mas
marami pang PWDs ang maisali sa database at makabenipisyo sa mga programa at
serbisyo ng pamahalaan.
