The effective realization of disabled people's rights in the Philippines is hampered by a number

of everyday challenges that come with implementing the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons at
the community and grassroots level. Several of these difficulties consist of:
1. Limited Knowledge and Understanding: It's possible that many members of the
community and grassroots levels know very little about the rights listed in the Magna
Carta. People with disabilities may face discrimination and rejection due to ignorance.
 Potential Solution: Launch large-scale awareness initiatives to inform local
communities, educational institutions, and small-scale groups about the needs and
rights of people with disabilities. Work together to spread information with
educators, community leaders, and the local media.
2. Inadequate Infrastructure for Accessibility: In many communities, ramps, accessible
transportation, and public spaces are not provided, despite the legal requirement for
accessible facilities and services. This makes it difficult for people with disabilities to
fully engage in community life.
 Possible Solution: Push for funding and support from the local government to
prioritize the development of accessible infrastructure. To identify and address
specific accessibility needs at the local level, support community-driven
initiatives.
3. Lack of Inclusive Education: Regardless of the Magna Carta's mandate, integrating
disabled people into traditional schools is difficult due to a lack of qualified teachers,
readily available curriculum, and suitable support networks.
 Potential Solution: One possible resolution could be to work together with
educational establishments to train educators in inclusive teaching methods.
Encourage the creation of services to support students with disabilities and the
development of educational resources that are accessible to all.
4. Limited Economic Opportunities: Disabled people frequently face obstacles to
employment, such as a lack of skill training, inaccessible workplaces, and employer
biases, despite laws encouraging employers to make reasonable accommodations.
 Potential Solutions: Establishing vocational training programs catered to the skills
and abilities of people with disabilities is one possible solution. Incentives should
be provided for companies that actively support a diverse workforce, and
businesses should be urged to implement inclusive hiring practices.
5. inadequate Health and Rehabilitation Services: In certain areas, people with disabilities
may not have easy access to high-quality health and rehabilitation services, which can
negatively impact their independence and general well-being.
 Possible Solution: Advocate additional funding and resources so that nearby
medical facilities can offer complete medical and rehabilitation services. Work
together with medical experts to plan outreach initiatives in marginalized
communities.
