COTABATO CITY – Persons with disabilities in Bangsamoro communities have expressed their desire to join in the decision-making process of the Bangsamoro government.
“Yes, we were consulted, and parliamentary procedures in the BTA were presented to us. We may not have enough technical knowhow in policy-making and in crafting laws, but we are more than willing to learn so our voices will be heard,” said Kenneth Angas Pasaol, who heads the group of PWDs in the Special Geographic Area of Pikit, North Cotabato.
Taha noted the need to look seriously on the civil rights of PWDs, and the construction of railings and pathways in government offices and public places that the PWDs need. Most local government units in the BARMM, she said, are still not aware about the rights of PWDs. But she said they can best air their views if they will have a sectoral representative in the Parliament. “We pray that with the Bangsamoro government still at the helm our voices will be heard,” Taha added.
