    CHAPTER I: Basic Principle

    SECTION 1. Title This Act shall be known and cited as


    the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons.

    SECTION 2. Declaration of Polity. The grant of the


    rights and privileges for disabled persons shall be guided
    by the following principles:
    (a). Disabled persons are part of the Philippine society,
    thus the Senate shall give full support to the
    improvement of the total well-being of disabled persons
    and their integration into the mainstream of society.
    Toward this end, the State shall adopt policies ensuring
    the rehabilitation, self-development and self-reliance of
    disabled persons.
    It shall develop their skills and potentials to enable them
    to compete favorably for available opportunities.
    (b). Disabled persons have the same rights as other
    people to take their proper place in society. They should
    be able to live freely and as independently as possible.
    This must be the concern of everyone the family,
    community and all government and non-government
    organizations. Disabled persons rights must never be
    perceived as welfare services by the Government.
    (c). The rehabilitation of the disabled persons shall be
    the concern of the Government in order to foster their
    capability to attain a more meaningful, productive and
    satisfying life. To reach out to a greater number of
    disabled persons, the rehabilitation services and benefits
    shall be expanded beyond the traditional urban-based
    centers to community based programs, that will ensure
    full participation of different sectors as supported by
    national and local government agencies.
    (d). The State also recognizes the role of the private
    sector in promoting the welfare of disabled persons and
    shall encourage partnership in programs that address
    their needs and concerns.
    (e). To facilitate integration of disabled persons into the
    mainstream of society, the State shall advocate for and
    encourage respect for disabled persons. The State shall
    exert all efforts to remove all social, cultural, economic,
    environmental and attitudinal barriers that are
    prejudicial to disabled persons.

    SECTION 3. Coverage. This Act shall covers all


    disabled persons and, to the extend herein provided,
    departments, offices and agencies of the National
    Government or non-government organization involved
    in the attainment of the objectives of this Act.
