Rodriguez graces PWD stakeholders’ forum

Councilor Jonjon Rodriguez attended the PWD Stakeholders’ Forum organized by the PDAO, where he reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the PWD sector as chairperson of the committee on social services.

In his message, Rodriguez recognized the existing challenges faced by the PWDs and pushed for inclusive policies and collaborative efforts that uphold the sector's rights and welfare.

There should be more initiatives that will further empower the PWD sector and create more opportunities for their participation and growth in the community, he added.

It can be recalled that Rodriguez previously pushed for the release of the 2024 subsidy for indigent PWDs, which was successfully distributed in November 2025. Through the initiative, each qualified indigent PWD beneficiary received ₱6,000 in financial assistance. (JDO/SP)
