In observance of the 2026 Autism Celebration Month, the PWD Outreach Program is currently being implemented through the strong collaboration between the Municipal Health Office, headed by Dra. Wilma Peralta, and Barangay Manlocboc Brgy. Captain Jonathan P. Fernandez. This ongoing initiative is providing timely, inclusive, and essential services to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), with particular attention to individuals on the autism spectrum.
A key highlight of the outreach is the provision of free medical checkups and the distribution of essential medicines, ensuring immediate health support for PWD beneficiaries. Complementing these services is the issuance of PWD Identification Cards and PWD Booklets, an initiative spearheaded by the PWD President, Luckylyn F. Zamora, which enables beneficiaries to access government-mandated benefits, privileges, and programs.
The active participation, professionalism, and shared commitment of the Municipal Health Office, barangay officials, and PWD leadership reflect a unified and responsive approach to community service. This collaborative effort, presently being carried out as part of the 2026 Autism Celebration Month, underscores the importance of inter-agency cooperation in promoting health, inclusion, awareness, and empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.
Sincere appreciation is extended to Ms.Joan Jenny M. Garacho, MSWDO and most especially to our Municipal Mayor Hon. Kristal Ballesteros Soriano ,partners, and individuals involved for their unwavering support and dedication in making this ongoing outreach meaningful and impactful for the PWD community.
