The Quezon City Association of the Deaf (QCAD), together with fellow Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) and the Quezon City Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office (PDAO) led by Ms. Deborah C. Dacanay, was deeply honored to participate in "Inclusion in Action: Connecting Persons with Disabilities and PWD Organisations with the Diplomatic Community," graciously hosted by H.E. Emma Hickey, Ambassador of Ireland to the Philippines, on 9 July 2026 at the Irish Residence in Dasmariñas Village, Makati City.

This inspiring gathering united ambassadors, members of the diplomatic community, government agencies, civil society organizations, disability advocates, and persons with disabilities in a shared commitment to advancing inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities for all.

It was a privilege for the Quezon City delegation to engage in meaningful conversations with ambassadors and representatives from different countries, sharing our experiences in working closely with government to implement programs, policies, and initiatives that empower persons with disabilities and promote inclusive communities. These exchanges reinforced the importance of collaboration and global partnerships in creating lasting positive change.

We are sincerely grateful to H.E. Emma Hickey and the Embassy of Ireland for providing this remarkable platform to amplify the voices of persons with disabilities, celebrate our achievements, and strengthen partnerships that will help build a more inclusive and accessible future.

Together, we continue to prove that inclusion is not just a goal—it is a shared responsibility and a powerful force for change.

The Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), a component of the Philippines’ National Service Training Program (NSTP), tasked us to create a project plan that responds to the needs of the community. Our chosen beneficiaries were the LNK Scholars of Santa Maria della Strada Parish who are currently pursuing studies in Education. Through this initiative, we aimed to equip them with basic Filipino Sign Language (FSL) skills and increase their awareness and understanding of the Deaf and hard of hearing community,
preparing them to become more inclusive future teachers and educators. ☺️

As part of this meaningful initiative, CWTS invited QCAD President Carolyn Dagan As the guest signer and speaker for the event entitled “Hand-in-Hand”: A Deaf Awareness and Filipino Sign Language (FSL) Workshop, held from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM at Santa Mar ia della Strada Parish on April 25, 2026.

Around 60–80 young participants actively attended the workshop, eagerly listening to the presentation and learning basic FSL signs. The participants enthusiastically engaged in discussions, asked questions about common misconceptions regarding the Deaf community, and participated in interactive games involving FSL signs. The activity became a meaningful learning experience that promoted inclusivity, awareness, and appreciation of Filipino Sign Language and Deaf culture.
