Accessibility Law (BP 344)

The short docu that I did for Asia Pacific Center on Disability, UAP, NCDA and JICA touches on the non-implementation and partial implementation of the Philippine Accessibility Law thereby giving problems into having a non-handicapping environment for persons with disabilities. It is titled “A Blind Architect—The Vision of a Non-Handicapping Environment.” It features Architect Jaime Silva of United Architects of the Philippines.  To read the Philippine Accessibility Law (Batas Pambansa Bilang 344) and its Amended Implementing Rules and Regulations, pls. click below
