Sen. Christopher Lawrence 'Bong' Go, chairman of the Senate Committee on Health and Demography, appealed on Friday to concerned agencies, to give disability prevention and the welfare of persons with disabilities (PWDs) more attention. This comes in the wake of Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week every third week of July,

'I look forward to our continued efforts to support our fellow Filipinos who may have disabilities but are equally capable of contributing to nation-building and leading the same lives as everyone else as we observe the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week,' said Go in a statement.
