Mga tagapagtanggol humihiling ng batas para sa komunidad ng autism

Noong Abril 10, 2026, mga kinatawan ng Autism Society Philippines (ASP) ay nagpahayag ng mga hamon ng mga taong may autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at humingi ng batas na magbibigay ng tunay na suporta at inklusyon. Kasama sa kanilang panawagan ay ang pagpasa ng Senate Bill No. 1822 na naglalayong lumikha ng national action plan. Sina Pia Cabañero, Mona Magno-Veluz, at Michelle Dee ay nagpahayag ng kanilang pananaw sa pagkakataon para sa mga nasa spectrum.

Sa Manila, Philippines, noong Biyernes, Abril 10, mga tagapagtanggol tulad ni Pia Cabañero, na bahagi ng autism spectrum, ay nagbahagi ng kanilang karanasan. "In a society that is not necessarily built for us, sometimes we just try to manage — it’s hard," ani Cabañero. Siya at iba pa ay nananawagan ng mga patakaran na magbibigay-daan sa matiwasay na buhay para sa mga nasa spectrum, na apektado ng ASD ang isa sa bawat 100 Pilipino.

Ang Senate ay naaprubahan na sa ikatlong pagbasa ang Senate Bill No. 1822, na kilala bilang National Autism Care, Support, and Inclusion Act. Ito ay maglilinis ng national action plan para sa maagang detection, quality healthcare, inclusive education, employment, at social support. Ayon kay Mona Magno-Veluz, national spokesperson ng ASP at ina ng bata na may ASD, "We need a government with a plan to address the needs of our growing and aging community, from the national government to the LGUs."

Michelle Dee, beauty queen at ASP goodwill ambassador na may dalawang kapatid sa spectrum, ay nagsabi, "Responsive autism policy strengthens families by reducing everyday barriers. It shifts the narrative from dependence to empowerment." Siya ay naniniwala na ang inklusyon ay nangangahulugang pagiging seen, supported, at hindi iniiwan mag-isa.

Ang ASP ay magho-host ng Angels Walk for Autism noong Abril 26 sa SM Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City, na inaasahang dadalo ng libu-libong tao, kasama ang community parade at performances. Simultaneous events sa 12 na lungsod. Ayon kay ASP chair emerita Dang Koe, "hope must evolve into not just awareness or acceptance but action."
