AMMPD is the former Archdiocese of Manila Office for PWD Ministry and it is now under the umbrella of the Commission on Social Services and Development of the Archdiocese of Manila. For the benefit of PWDs, they provide religious, moral and values formation; offer skills training to prospective care-givers and catechists; provide assistance through referral to other agencies for rehabilitation, training and employment; offer counseling and human services and advocate awareness of PWDs’ presence, roles and rights in the Archdiocesan and in the parochial level.
