NATIONAL DISABILITY PREVENTION WEEK VISIT – JC Cares Foundation members visited Barangay Pillar Village in Las Piñas City recently to join the celebration of the 43rd National Disability Prevention & Rehabilitation Week.
The negative economic effects of the pandemic have affected the people for more than a year now. As the vaccination program rolled out across the country, many people went back to work or resumed their businesses to contribute to reviving the economy.
However, many people are still left without jobs or livelihood.
Among those hardest hit by the pandemic are the vendors with disabilities in Las Piñas City, many of them closing their small businesses because of the lockdowns and the restricted movement of people. These vendors, who rely on their livelihood to survive, have been severely affected by the pandemic.

Juan Jose Gama Garcia has been a street vendor in Chicago for 23 years. He sells everything from tamales to corn, fruit and Mexican candy.
He’s one of hundreds of vendors in Chicago who have had to adapt to changing city regulations over the years. Those regulations require vendors to have a license and ban them from preparing food at home.
Thanks to our sponsors:
“I believe that street vendors like myself have become more educated throughout the years,” Gama Garcia said. “We are trying to remain clean and organized.”
To be in accordance with city rules, Gama Garcia and several other vendors began renting a kitchen on 16th Street and South Lawndale.
