House Bill 6743 covers CWD aged 21 years old and below with a physical or mental impairment. It also mandates the creation of a database of all CWD.The provision was proposed by Davao City 1st District Representative Paolo Duterte, Benguet Representative Eric Yap, ACT-CIS Partylist Representatives Edvic Yap and Jeffrey Soriano.
