Legal assistance was also made available through the Integrated Bar of the Philippines – Apayao Chapter. At the same time, members of the Provincial Council on Disability Affairs held consultations to review concerns raised by participants and discuss areas for program support.
Financial assistance was released to 214 beneficiaries under the Assistance to Individuals in Crisis Situation (AICS) program, with each receiving P5,000 through the Department of Social Welfare and Development – SWAD Apayao, in coordination with the provincial government.
The activity is part of ongoing efforts to bring services closer to women with disabilities and to address needs raised at the community level.
