Sa inilabas na pahayag ni DSWD spokesperson Assistant Secretary Irene Dumlao, ang pitong araw na libreng sakay sa LRT Line 2 ay naisakatuparan sa pamamagitan ng partnership ng Department of Transportation (DOTr), Light Rail Transit Authority (LRTA), at ng National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA), isang attached agency ng DSWD.

Ani Dumlao: “The directive of the President is for the government to rally together to safeguard the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities and help provide opportunities for them.

“In fact, we have the NDRW in line with Proclamation No. 597 signed in June 2024, devoting July 17-23 of every year in celebrating the rights of the sector.”

Sa ilalim ng Proclamation No. 597, ang DSWD, sa pamamagitan ng NCDA, ay inaatasang pangunahan at pangasiwaan ang pakikipag-ugnayan para sa paggunita ng NDRW sa buong bansa.

Ayon pa kay Dumlao, ang pagkakaloob ng mga libreng serbisyo ay malaki ang maitutulong sa PWDs na regular na bumibiyahe sa pamamagitan ng pampublikong transportasyon papasok at pauwi mula sa trabaho o school.
