Are you disabled? or have a loved one who is?

if you are and you find it difficult to access government buildings, or if they do not provide sufficient access to the disabled, please report them.  by law, government buildings must provide access to the disabled.

also, if any employee of that institution ridicule or yell at disabled persons and you bear witness to this abuse, you may likewise report the employer.  i do think it is best to complain to the media, since - like he-man, they have the power. *grins*

i was at the North door of the SSS building.  Just in case you did not know it, this entrance/exit provides disabled access.  It has a ramp for those in wheelchairs.  Also, there are fewer steps up than the main entrance if the disabled person can manage the stairs.

at any rate, an SSS employee - she was in uniform - was screaming at the driver of a tricycle for letting off passengers by the stairs, and it seems that SSS issued a memorandum where passengers can disembark.  What this SSS employee ignored -  is that the person exiting the trike was disabled, managing by utilizing a cane.

i wanted to report this woman, this SSS employee for being discourteous, and for harassing a person, a member with disability. there is a disability law that disallows persons to harangue, abuse, or make fun of disabled persons.

it is unbecoming of a government employee to harass persons with disability as this person was certainly doing.  she should be censored by their human resource head.  Perhaps it is time for SSS to remind their employees to practice courteous behavior. 

as for this employee, i decided not to report her for one main reason - one day she will pay her debts, and i did not want to be responsible for her possible reprimand, or possible admin case .....
