ASP Chapter President Elected QC PWD Federation Auditor

The Quezon City Social Services and Development Department facilitated the General Assembly of the QC Persons with Disabilities Federation last 23 July 2012 at the Quezon City Hall, as part of the 34th National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation (NDPR) Week. The Federation, headed by Mr. Renato Cada, was instrumental in advocating for the passage of the ordinance establishing the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) in the city.

ASP was represented at the Federation assembly and election by Mr. Fortunato Agbayani (President of Project 3 QC Chapter and Trustee of ASP National), Ms. Linda Legarto (President of ASP Project 4 Cubao Chapter), Ms. Josephine Palomares (President of ASP Diliman Chapter), Ms. Lilia Taroy (President of ASP Commonwealth Chapter) and Executive Director Ranil Sorongon. ASP is a special stakeholder in Quezon City as seven chapters and its National Office all call QC home.

ASP Project 3 President Fortunato “Nato” Agbayani was elected as member of the board and was again elected as Auditor of the Federation. The election of Mr. Agbayani will ensure the continuous representation of autism concerns in the policies and projects which impact the disability sector.

Congratulations, Nato! Your ASP family wishes you a productive year of service ahead!
