Some people think that being disabled already disqualifies you of being able to work appropriately. Although it’s difficult and kind of harsh to think of it that way, disabilities are difficult to be used to and is kind of hard to overcome.
However, we shouldn’t think of disabled people like this because disabilities shouldn’t kill a person’s way of living. This is exactly what the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) wants because they issued more than 1,000 jobs for PWD (Persons with disabilities) in a job fair on Wednesday Dec. 5, 2018. The job fair will be held in Quezon City.
