Ayala Land Estates provides inclusive spaces, equal opportunities for PWDs

In observance of the 44th National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (NDPR) Week from July 17-23, Ayala Land Estates releases its latest video with the message, “Inclusive Spaces. Equal Opportunities."

This is the third of a series of videos which highlight how the company’s estates provide safe spaces for the community to thrive, even in the midst of the pandemic and moving forward.

The video features Abel Villamar, a hearing-impaired culinary student; Judy Gacho, a mobility-challenged real estate broker; and Fedi Roa, a culinary arts graduate living with autism. All three are remarkable individuals–not only to their families, but to the community as well. They demonstrate that despite the challenges of their disability, they can be productive members of society, especially if they are provided with opportunities in spaces which are safe and inclusive.

Ayala Land strives to create an environment which encourages the integration of persons with disabilities into society. Its 31 integrated master-planned estates across the country are designed with facilities for PWDs, and ensure safety so, they can be enjoyed with family and friends.

The week-long event is commemorated annually to increase public awareness on the issues and challenges of disability. It also encourages society to take active responsibility in the upliftment of the persons with disabilities (PWDs).

The event culminates on July 23, the birthday of the "Sublime Paralytic" Apolinario Mabini, who inspired persons with disabilities (PWDs) to take pro-active roles in nation building.
