SECTION 3. The minister of public works and highways and the minister of transportation and
communications, in coordination with the National Commission Concerning Disabled Persons,
shall prepare the necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions act.

Many people with mobility issues face access challenges every day—from buildings lacking ramp
and doorways too narrow for wheelchair entry. Mobility disabilities can be present at birth, develop
later in life, or be caused by a traumatic event. Everybody has a right to access and use public
places, such as shops, restaurants, office blocks, educational institutions, sporting venues,
libraries and cinemas. However, some buildings are constructed or fitted out in a way that can
make them inaccessible to people with disability, excluding them from opportunities that other
members of the community take for granted.

The Rules and regulations set forth herein provide for minimum requirements and standards to
make buildings, facilities and utilities for public use accessible to disabled persons. A person with
disability has the right to use facilities and utilities. But because of their case they have a hard time
to use those. So architects should design a way or equipment that will be easy for the people with
disabilities to use. Like, Ramps for people who has a wheel chair. Handrails should be installed at
both sides of ramps and stairs. Open spaces for blind people. It is extremely helpful if a walkway
or paths are wide. Ensuring public places have an accessible entrance and interior. Providing
disability access to facilities in public places, for example wheelchair - accessible toilets, lift
buttons within reach, and tactile and audible lift signals for people with vision impairment.
Ensuring that people with disability can access all public areas of a premises and not just a
segregated area with a facility. Providing any information available to users of premises in an
accessible format, for example signage, labels, directions and instructions.
