Drawing inspiration from his grandmother who died of bone cancer, the very same illness that kept her wheelchair-bound, Councilor Alfred Vargas , the hardworking councilor of Quezon City, launched PWD (Persons with Disabilities)...PWeDe which aims to increase people's awareness of the plight of the PWDs not only in Quezon City, but for the entire Metro Manila as well.    His advocacy started with merely giving a wheelchair to some of his constituents but after seeing that the PWDs needed an additional voice to encourage others to support the PWDs,  Councilor Vargas made it his mission to bring the cause of the PWDs to people who would be able to give assistance to the PWDs and that means, me and you and the entire country.  To everyone, Councilor Vargas is appealing for help in his personal advocacy in uplifting the quality of life among Persons With Disabilities and help them help themselves.

The newly-renovated seafront of Baybay tow...
