Warmest Greetings to the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan,Inc. as you holdthe Workability International-Asia Annual Conference 2009.
Your slogan, Championing People with Disabilities' Right to WorkWorldwide, demonstrates your commitment in fighting poverty by
providing employment to people who are physically challenged andyour inspiration of establishing the highest international standards in
the delivery of work programs for these people.
Indeed, this conference would serve as an avenue for the internationalparticipants to exchange ideas on how to strengthen the rights ofdifferently abled persons to equal opportunities and non-discriminationin the workplace.
I laud you for organizing events like this because they would really breakdown the barriers that prevent special persons from participating fully in
the workforce and for realizing their social and economic independence.
Good luck to all of you. Mabuhay kayong lahat!

I strongly commend the efforts of Tahanang Walang Hagdanan in organizing theWorkability International Asia Annual Conference scheduled on April 22-24, 2009.
The task is without a doubt gargantuan and requires utmost dedication, substan-tial resources, and almost all kinds of support from concerned sectors and
stakeholders. Despite these, your organization's familiarity and exposure in promotingthe rights and welfare of people with disabilities affirms your capability of managingthis significant event.
Workability International's advocacy of championing people with disabilities' rightto work is not an entirely new call to action. But I personally believe that such a callhas to be sustained until it is resonated to a broader sphere to make more and morepeople and organizations aware that persons with disabilities deserve equalopportunity in our society and in the world of work.
We, at the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), have long been an
advocate of promoting the workability of PWDs and make them productive membersof the community. Through our Tulong Alalay Sa Mga Taong May Kapansanan orTULAY 2000 program, we assist PWDs by facilitating their employment to jobs wheretheir skills can be maximized. This program links PWDs to jobs and livelihoodopportunities and gives incentives to establishments that hire them, thus making thearrangement equally beneficially to both workers and companies.
I hope that the conference, along with your organization's other worthy under-takings, would result into better opportunities for PWDs. It is my wish that eventuallyevery establishment in the country will have a PWD in their workforce, not justperforming regular tasks but also excelling in their respective filed.
On behalf of the DOLE, I wish all the conference participants a fruitful andmeaningful event. May we all become responsible partners and movers in advancingpeople with disabilities right to productive and decent work.
Mabuhay kayong lahat!

I would like to commend Tahanang Walang Hagdanan for launchingthis most timely event, the
on April 22, 2009, at the EDSA Shangrila, MandaluyongCity. This forum serves as one big statement of our call for the sector'sinvolvement, in helping our government push urgent stimulus efforts toease the country's prolonged jobs crisis.
With positive shifts from current information communications technologyand public mindset, the Conference stands to draw urgent and no-nonsense collective moves to recognize and make way, for skilledFilipinos with disabilities to become part of the country's productiveworkforce.
NCDA likewise salutes Workability International Asia for holding thisforum in the country, at a time when every Filipino feels the economicdownturn. With the Philippines ratification of the
and this treatybecoming part of our right towork, side by side with their non-disabled counterparts, here and abroad .
Congratulations to Tahanang Walang Hagdanan and partners in
mounting this first of its kind ASEAN event!

I wish to thank the local people verymuch for your great efforts in holding the
Workability Asia (WA) Conference in Manila.Especially, let me express my heartfelt thanksto the members of Tahanang WalangHagdanan, Inc. who are responsible for holdingthe Conference, as well as Ms. Joy C. Garcia.
Workability International was founded in 1987 by thevolunteers of the organizations for people withdisabilities who gathered in Stockholm from 11 nations. In 2004, Workability International adopted thefour-region structure consisting of Asia, Oceania, Americas and Europe region groups. Up to thepresent, it has grown to a large international organization with some 120 member organizations in37 nations.
Following the organizational change, Asia Group (Workability Asia) placed its secretariat in Japan,hold Asian Conference annually revolving the member nations, that is, in Taipei (Taiwan) in 2006,Seoul (South Korea) in 2007 and Sapporo in 2008, to exchange opinions. Also, we have made effortsto increase members.
Today, 18 member organizations join to Workability Asia from 11 nations of the Philippines, India,South Korea, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Viet Nam, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and Japan.Unlike three other groups, however, Workability Asia has big issues. A typical issue is that Asiaregion is very vast, the number of nations is large (47 nations) and 4.1 billion people correspondingto 63% of the world total population live in Asia. It is almost impossible to gain an understanding ofthe conditions of people with disabilities in every nation.
The most serious challenge is the gap in income levels. The annual gross national income per headis less than US$1,000 in one-third of the nations and less than $5,000 in another one-third of thenations. In terms of the population density ratio, 90% of people live a life with the gross nationalincome of less than US$5,000 in Asia region.
From an economic standpoint, we are in an extremely difficult situation in taking part in WorkabilityInternational Conference or Workability Asia Conference to share the organization activities. In orderto vitalize the organization, we are making full use of various approaches to seek for sponsors andgetting involved in activities hoping that as many members as possible may join Workability Asia andas many disabled persons as possible may have a better life.
The Conference in Manila will take place for three days only, but I hope active and deep discussionswill be held toward solution of critical issues surrounding many of you and people with disabilities.

Silent StepsStarting in a one-time dance workshop for Deaf students in 2001,
talented dancers organized themselves into a formal group, underthe Visual Performing Arts Unit of DLS-CSB School of DeafEducation and Applied Studies (SDEAS).
Still unknown outside of the DLS-CSB community, the group hadits first major exposure in 2004, when it represented SDEAS in anall-hearing, interschool dance competition. They garnered thespecial performance award. It was also during the competitionthat the group introduced themselves to the public as Silent Steps.
Six years since its inception as a dance workshop, Silent Steps has now evolved into the Deaf PerformingArts Program of DLS-CSB. This formation program encourages creative output through dance and smalltheatrical performances, and helps in developing Deaf students' self-esteem.
Aside from being a performing troupe, Silent Steps has assumed another the parallel role of advocating Deafawareness among the hearing. The celebrated dancers have taken it upon themselves to "speak" on behalfof the entire Deaf communityto 'say' that Deaf people can do things as well as, or maybe even better than,hearing people can.

TWHI's Dance on Wheels started in 1990's as a form of
therapy for emotional rehabilitation especially for our
residents/workers who could not accept their physical
disability. The first group of dancers initially tried the
easy steps of folk dancing. It was in 1999 when they did
ballroom dancing which was more challenging and
attracted more dancers to participate. We have launchedthe first ballroom dancing for PWDs last November
17, 2007 through the event called Steps for a Bright
Future which featured the TWH Dance on Wheels.
TWHI also organized the First Philippine Ballroom
Dancing Championship last December 6, 2008 with the
help of partner organizations which was preceded by a Wheelchair Ballroom Dancing workshop.
