“My experience in the training taught me that no one should be afraid to speak their mind. Especially if you know you are right. No one should silence their voice for the sake of avoiding conflict. And never subject yourself to people’s judgment of you because of your disability. You can be so much more than your weakness and you can find strength from it.”
-Cristina Gruta, Catbalogan City
“I was happy to be with other persons with disability. We shared many stories and experiences. We were happy learning about basic life support, simple bookkeeping - because I can use that in our store. We also learned about advocacy that can be helpful when negotiating with government agencies and how to defend the rights of persons with disability.”
-Rodora Jumaday, Calbayog City

The law is here but there is lack of implementation and commitment. We need to fight for our rights. In joining these training's, I learned how to do advocacy.”
