The Magna Carta for Disabled Persons enacted in 1992 affirms that the State shall give full support to the improvement and well-being of disabled persons and their integration into mainstream society.
The results of the 2010 Census of Population and Housing (2010 CPH) reported that of the 92.1 million household population in the country, 1.4 million persons (or 1.57%) had some form of disability. Albeit laborious, the Philippines has improved in enforcing and promoting benefits and privileges for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs).
