INTRODUCTION

The promotion of the full and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all persons with disabilities is enshrined in the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). As one of the signatories, the Philippine Government enacted national policies and programs to promote and advance inclusion of disability issues. Among these are Batas Pambansa (B.P.) 344 otherwise known as Accessibility law, Republic Act (R.A.) 7277 or the Magna Carta of Persons with Disabilities, R.A. 9442 amending R.A 7277, and the recent R.A 10070, an act creating the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO) in each province, city and municipality. However, issues and concerns of persons with disabilities such as accessibility, health, education, employment, equality and nondiscrimination are still not addressed partly due to lack of information on services available from the service providers operating in the areas. To bridge this gap in information needs, Handicap International has put together information on service providers that are relevant to the needs of persons with disabilities. This information material known as Directory of Services will hopefully assists the vulnerable sector such as persons with disabilities including their family and caregiver; senior citizens; single women-headed households and their household members, of the Municipality of Baras, Rizal province in locating service providers that correspond to their needs. Handicap International highly appreciates the contribution of all individuals and organizations in the development and compilation of this directory of services. Among others, Handicap International is grateful to the Swiss Solidarity and European Union for their support of this directory of services.
