Pandan, Antique, August 6, 2008 - The Persons with Disability in Pandan, Antique gathered together last July 17, 2008 at the Alexander Libberman Sports Complex to hold a Congress with a theme: “Kapag may Access, may Success.” The Honorable Mayor Plaridel “John” Sanchez, VI graced the occasion with Sangguniang Bayan Members Marissa Montero and Patria Candari.

Mayor Sanchez in his inspirational message lauded the projects and accomplishments of the Association of Disabled Persons Pandan Chapter headed by Mr. William Angor with support from the Municipal Social Welfare Services Development Office. Their projects include bag making and other decors made out of recycled and indigenous materials. The association was also considered as the most active and multi-awarded disabled organization in the province.

“Be an inspiration to everyone that despite of your physical condition you have contributed to the well being of your family and community,” Mayor Sanchez told the audience.

Also during the Congress, the Local Government Unit of Pandan distributed wheelchairs, insurance and hogs as a surprise livelihood support to families of active and deserving members. Pandan is indeed proud to be a friend of Persons with Disability. (Pandan.gov.ph)
