The future will be brighter for the young people with disabilities in the province of Antique as they will soon be able to pursue high school education with the creation of secondary school at the SPED (Special Education for Disabled) Center in San Jose starting next school year.
Governor Exequiel B. Javier announced the creation of a high school at the SPED Center, which he also created a few years back, during the recent awarding ceremony of the 1st Antique Disability Excellence Awards at the EBJ Sports Complex.
The awarding ceremony served as the highlight of the Persons with Disability Provincial Congress 2011 in recognition of the programs and efforts of the municipal governments in the province and that of non-government organizations, individuals and business establishments in support of persons with disabilities.
"The mark of the society is on how it cares for the disabled, the aged and the less privileged citizens," Governor Javier said. He added that as governor of Antique he is giving the mentally and physically disabled Antiqueños especially the out-of-school youths more opportunities.
"Disabilities are not hindrances in reaching greater heights in life," Gov. Javier told the disabled persons who gathered for the congress.
