The Philippine Postal Corporation (Post Office) Persons with Disabilities (PWD) employees who have long been in the Postal Service have been recognized for their outstanding contributions in the development and progress in the postal service.
The Post Office has long-time supported the employment of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), which is a program by the National Government. The project aims to enhance employability and increase employment opportunities for PWDs.
Those employed at the Post Office are deaf and physically impaired individuals who have been in the postal service for more than 30 years as mail sorters, clerks and operations supervisors.
The Post Office has helped them hire and have integrated PWDs to their organization.
President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has declared July 17 to 23 of every year as the “National Disability Rights Week.” The move is part of the commitment of the government to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
