QC dads: Hire more PWD

The Quezon City Council on Thursday passed a resolution urging the city government to implement Republic Act (RA) 10524, the law that expands positions reserved for persons with disabilities (PWD).

Currently, the Quezon City government has about 14,000 employees, 100 of whom are PWD.

City Resolution 7380-2018, which was authored by Councilor Lena Marie Juico, is in compliance with RA 10524, which requires an allotment of at least 1 percent of all regular and non-regular positions in all government agencies, offices, or corporations to PWD.

The same law also urges private companies with more than 100 employees to reserve at least 1 percent of all work positions for PWD.
