Quezon town to hold ‘Disability Expo’ to empower PWDs

The local government of Infanta, Quezon, is organizing its first 'Disability Expo' on July 15 and 16 to support persons with disabilities (PWDs). The event aims to promote inclusion, enhance access to government services, and raise awareness about disability rights. Activities will include forums on disaster preparedness, livelihood opportunities, and youth leadership for PWDs. Free medical consultations, hearing assessments, and assistive devices will be provided. The event coincides with criticism of the 'One Wish Willow' social media trend, which the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) called deeply disrespectful and dehumanizing. The NCDA has reported the trend to TikTok for potential guideline violations.
