ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to give the PWDs an application containing a list of
establishments with the proper infrastructure for them through a map. In the map, if you
type an establishment, the application will navigate you from your current location to
your chosen institution. Establishments like restaurants, banks, and government buildings
will be listed in the said application. It will help the PWDs look for an establishment that
considers their situation and is a PWD-friendly establishment. First, establishments that
are included in the study. Second, features of the survey along the areas of;
mapping/navigation, rating/comment per indicator, and registration of evaluator — lastly,
the user feedback of the proposed application in terms of; Functional Suitability,
Performance Efficiency, Compatibility, Usability, Reliability, Security, Maintainability,
and Portability using the international Standardization Org. The Rapid Application
Development (RAD) methodology was utilized to create the System to meet the stringent
time requirements of the development timetable. The process starts with the development
of the RAD model. The first is Brainstorming. During this phase, the researchers
discussed with the Head Alaminos City Engineering Office, staff of PDAO (Persons
Disability Affairs Office), and the personnel involved in its operation to be able to gather
ideas and suggestions that may serve as the initial requirements of the System. The
second is Requirements Gathering and Analysis. The interview method was used to
acquire more information. The prototype System is the conditions that have been
developed and will be used to create a functional prototype that involves some of the
features that will be included

in the final systems. There is a possibility that the final implementation will be utterly
dissimilar to the prototype. The primary objective of developing a prototype is to
determine a more specific need of the end user. The Third is Object Creation. Other
features of the proposed EyA Ease Access were added to the prototype and are ready for
user review. Fourth is User Review. The initial prototype was evaluated by the PDAO
(Persons Disability Affairs Office) and personnel, who then offered additional
suggestions. These ideas will result in the creation of new categories of prerequisites. The
Fifth is Finalizing the Code. After ensuring all users are satisfied with the System, we
finalize the programs. Last is we deliver the System. The Researchers trained the users on
how to set up and operate the System, EyA Ease Access, as part of the delivery of the
System. Not being able to access PWD establishments was the main problem of PWD
usually encountered. However, using the proposed System, according to the findings,
PWD found the System helpful and a great help with them. The System helps provide
reliable data, data protection, useful and valuable features, and quality performance.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter presents the background of the study, statement of the objectives,
statement of the problem, scope and delimitation, significance of the study, and the
definition of terms.
Magasi, 2011). This well-known phrase is only one of the barriers keeping people with
disabilities out of the community's generosity. The former is frequently denied the
concerns in the modern era continue to trouble the public. This conflict has persisted
despite new civil rights protections and many national and international laws and policies
supporting respect for PWDs. It sparked an endless effort to guarantee that people with
physical or mental disabilities and those without are on equal footing. The
disenfranchised groups of people with disabilities have a long history of being rejected,
discriminated against, and made fun of. Their aspirations and self-perceptions have gone
ignored and unappreciated since they have traditionally been classified as a lower class.
Prejudiced opinions about their situation are nevertheless as prevalent as their disabilities.
Many still hold to the idea that they are helpless, dependent, and deserving of sympathy.
According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(2006), a person can be regarded as disabled if they have a physical, mental, intellectual,
or sensory impairment that, when taken together with other medical conditions, limits

their ability to participate in society fully and equitably. Disabilities affect about a billion
people worldwide, or around 15% of the total population. There are considerable
difficulties in functioning for between 110 and 190 million persons worldwide. Disability
rates are on the rise due to several variables, including the aging of the population and the
spread of chronic diseases. Eighty percent of people with disabilities (PWDs) live in low-
income countries, where they are often without access to basic healthcare. People with
disabilities (PWD) have special medical care requirements and should always treated
with dignity and respect. Since people with disabilities have limited access to healthcare,
There are 1.44 million disabled Filipinos out of a total population of 92.1 million,
or 1.57 percent, as reported by the 2010 Census of Population and Housing in the
places, with the Cordillera Administrative Region having the fewest at 26,000. In 2010,
men accounted for 50.9% of the disabled population, while women contributed 49.1%.
For every five people with disabilities, one was between 0 and 14 years old (18.9%),
three were between 15 and 64 years old (59.0%), and one was 65 or over (22.1%).
accessible are designed with users of all abilities in mind. Both "direct access" and
the idea and practice of accessible development. For a person with a disability to be fully
engaged in life, they need to be able to travel to and from their various locations. The
technical goal of the guide is to create a space that is accessible to all individuals,

The number of PWDs soared as the year passed by. And we, as ordinary beings,
can give them the world they will find as a comfortable space. Every institution, like
groceries, banks, and restaurants, must have a structure that fits the needs of the PWDs, a
very accessible place for them. Some place says they are PWD-friendly, but the
The main objective of any establishment is to make every visitor feel at ease and
enjoy their visit. Unfortunately, many visitors with special needs don't like how
inaccessible other establishments are, and this causes impaired consumers and their
Accessible entryways will be necessary for those with disabilities. This calls for
level entrances, ramps in place of stairs, elevators for businesses on the second floor,
automatic doors, and if your location has parking, disabled parking places. Only a few
steps lead up to the front door, or so some business owners would believe. But those few
steps are a significant barrier for many customers with impairments. Suppose potential
visitors with disabilities are thinking about visiting your establishment while in the area
or looking online and discover that your entrance is not accessible to them. In that case,

didn't consider their basic needs when designing the accessibility of your business. Think
about putting one handicapped bathroom stall in each stall. There should be a grab bar on
the side and back walls of the booth, as well as more room to turn and a wider door that
swings out rather than in. It will also be easier for visitors in wheelchairs to use a sink
Ensure sufficient space for visitors using wheelchairs and other mobility aids to
accompany your host to their table easily. Sure, guests may need help to sit at high tables
and booths. The dining area should offer wheelchair-accessible seating, such as tables
with enough room for wheelchairs to sit comfortably, and somebody should train your
host to match groups with mobility challenges with that seating. Consider constructing an
elevator if the dining area spans a two-story building. Make sure the host is aware to seat
visitors with disabilities at a table on the bottom floor if they absolutely cannot install an
elevator.

filed by the special committee on PWDs in the lower chamber. This committee also
unanimously agreed to consolidate the proposed PWD bills and amend existing laws to

its blessing to move forward with the following measures at the committee level: The

According to Access (2021), the Cultural Center of the Philippines has improved
its accessibility for people with disabilities through the CCP PWD-Exchange Program.

The CCP PWD-Exchange Program oversaw the development of spaces within the
CCP venues that were accessible to people using wheelchairs in 2012. These spaces are

include a meeting with the various PWD sectors; accessible accommodations for PWD
