Cerebral Palsy Awareness and Protection Week
Presidential Proclamation No. 558 signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on March 25, 2004 declared the period from September 16-22, 2004 and every year thereafter as Cerebral Palsy Awareness and Protection Week. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Ang CP na may Kabuhayan, Makakatulong sa Bayan.” Quoted below is an excerpt of Mr. Cunanan’s Withnews.org article.
