ARCHDIOCESE OF MANILA MINISTRY ON PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES (AMMPD)
Every year in the first week of December, the Archdiocese of Manila Ministry of Persons with Disabilities (AMMPD) celebrates the Persons with Disabilities Day as part of observing the Catholic Handicapped Week which falls on the first week of December.
The celebration aims to gather SPED students, youths, and adults with disabilities to allow them to build camaraderie and friendship with one another and to experience the joyous experience of Christmas.
PWD Day
This celebration is open for all persons with disabilities within the archdiocese. We refer to persons with disabilities as those who are deaf, blind, hearing-impaired, autistic, mentally retarded, people with cerebral palsy or Down's Syndrome and those who are physically challenged.
One of the events of PWD Day was held on December 2, 2017, at Don Bosco Technical Institute in Makati City, over a thousand PWDs graced this worthy gathering of love and sharing.
For their 20th year, Archdiocese of Manila celebrated PWD Day on December 7, 2019 at the same grounds—Don Bosco Technical Institute, Makati City. Gathered to celebrate the annual event, the people were in incredible energy as they took part in various fun activities.
URBAN POOR ASSOCIATES
On August 19, 2020, one of UPA's Associates inquired the Department of Advertising and Public Relations about the possibility of conducting a graphic design and photography training for their volunteers, which they could use for their social media campaign and online efforts to promote the welfare of the urban poor. UPA volunteers lack the skills required to create well-designed promotional materials. Promotional materials are thought to be effective methods for spreading the message advocated by the UPA.
VITAL STRATEGIES
ADPR was also able to build a partnership with an international organization, the Vital Strategies. The organization is designed to showcase the breadth of our global health programs. It envisioned a world where everyone is protected by a strong public health system; and the organization never failed to share the many victories and challenges we have in partnering with governments in advancing their ability to protect their people.
AdSiklaban
Through coordinating with Mr. Carlos " Kaloi " P. Garcia, the Communication Manager of Vital Strategies, the ADPROS, under the advisory of Prof. Jerielyn V. Reyes, has conducted an Advocacy Campaign competition called "AdSiklaban". It is designed for the faculty and students to showcase their talents in creating campaigns in an advocacy form. The advocacy is about anti- smoking, pushing for the rise of sin-tax to minimize smokers in the Philippines.
GLOBAL COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AND RESILIENCE FUND – GCERF
Finally, after several attempts of follow ups with GCERF (Global Community Engagement and Resilience Fund), a series of talks have ensued since early part of March 2022 for possible international extension partnership.
Based in Geneva, GCERF is the global fund dedicated to preventing violent extremism. It connects local communities to global resources, supporting grassroots initiatives that are typically out of reach for international donors and helping them thrive (lifted from GCERF website).

provide basis for policy options and informed decisions for development assistance to the Colleges, Branches and Campuses;
effectively communicate current and relevant information about the achievements, quality system and processes of the university and its academic programs; and
