House members are pursuing the immediate approval of a bill that, if enacted, would grant parents of children with disabilities (CWDs) a P2,000 monthly subsidy or “ayuda” from the government.

The measure, embodied in House Bill (HB) No.6743, was filed by Davao City 1st district Rep. Paolo Duterte, Benguet lone district Rep. Eric Yap, and ACT-CIS Party-list Reps. Edvic Yap and Jeffrey Soriano.

Under HB No.6743, a CWD refers to a person below 21 years old with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of an individual’s functions or activities.
