Stories of These Abilities: Cases of Community Organizing of Persons
with Disabilities
Abstract
This study documented the experiences of persons with disabilities in
the ten (10) cities/municipalities of Albay who have community- based
organizing initiatives in order to provide a clearer picture of their
present situation. Similarly, the study presented the cases and stories
of the different disabled person’s organizations (DPOs) by looking into
their experiences, challenges encountered, as well as strategies
employed. By telling the stories, this research undertaking attempted to
underline some fundamental strategies that can begin to chip away at the
conditions and structures that exacerbate the issue.
