We walk our talk

In the LGU, CBR becomes a way of thinking and doing local development initiatives.

WALK THE TALK:

Our strategy to convince other LGUs to adopt CBR

Being a role model.

Convincing others means being able to demonstrate ways of doing the CBR and achieving concrete results worthy of being recognized.

Convincing other LGUs to adopt CBR:

WALK THE TALK

Being a recognized and widely accepted pioneer CBR implementer (LGU-led)

Convincing other LGUs to adopt CBR:

WALK THE TALK

Having leaders who champions the cause of persons with disabilities and able to share the replicable practices and lessons learned

Why advocate CBR?

LGUs are duty-bound in accordance with the

Local Government Code of the Philippines

and the

Magna Carta for Disabled Persons

Compliance with international agreements

such as the

Biwako Millenium Framework.

Sharing responsibility as duty bearers.

Redistribution of responsibilities from San Jose de Buenavista, capital town of the Province of Antique, to the rest of the LGUs in the Province.

Enrich the CBR practice.

We learn from each other to create more innovation that would further enhance CBR implementation.

Reinforce each other

achieving a critical mass to achieve a rights-based, barrierfree and inclusive society for persons with disabilities.

Sustainable Development.
Make a difference in the economic terrain of the Municipality, the Province of Antique and eventually in the socio-economic condition of the Philippines through CBR as a strategy for genuine social inclusiveness.

Result

Approximately 84 mayors have signed up, wanting to take on CBR through the League of Mayors of the Philippines (LMP).

Duro gid nga salamat!
