The integration is expected to facilitate the management of the growing membership base in the nation's capital and to have a stronger autism parent advocate representation with the local government. ASP Manila's priority will be on the improved engagement with the Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office of the City of Manila, for the benefit of persons on the autism spectrum and the families who care for them. ASP Manila is also expected to continue to grow our circle of supporters, through partnerships with universities and companies towards relevant programs that support our advocacy to build an Autism-OK Philippines.
