The news of Mario san and Donna san in Philippines
I had an opportunity to visit the Philippines last week and met Mr. Mariano
hermosisima Abaygar, ex-participant of Leader Course, 1992, and Ms.
Donnabelle V. Baldonado, ex-participant of Leader Course, 2005. Maliano is
a fonder of Association of Disabled Persons, Iloilo and is very active in
nation-wide now. As you may sometimes see on our website, she sends us her
report regularly.
The association has a good relationship with the local government in Iloilo.
I think it is one of their achievements. Mr. Mark Espesor, a young former trainee of
Duskin leadership Training in Japan works together with them. I was very happy to see them working together in their community.
I wish them good luck!

Thank you for coming to Iloilo City to see some of our accomplishments. We are looking forward for your continued support especially the young leaders. This year ADPI core group will be reaching out to the rural areas in the province to strengthen the DPO to become partner in implementing the CBR in their communities.More power to you all.
