EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 261 - CREATING
AN INTER-AGENCY COMMITTEE ON EMPLOYMENT PROMOTION, PROTECTION AND

WHEREAS, the government recognizes
that the opportunities for full participation in development and
equality of persons with disabilities, particularly in the field of
employment, continue to be far less than those available to their
able-bodied peers;
WHEREAS, with such recognition and by virtue of the Philippines’
membership in the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for
Asia and the Pacific (UN-ESCAP), Proclamation No. 125 has been issued
to commence the nationwide observance of the Asian and Pacific Decade
Disabled Persons (1993-2002);
WHEREAS, the Eighth Congress of the Philippines, in its Third Regular
Session, ratified ILO Convention No. 159 which promotes employment
opportunities for all categories of disabled persons based on the
principles of equal opportunity and treatment;
WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 7277, otherwise known as the Magna Carta for
Disabled Persons, was signed into law on 24 March 1992 with specific
provisions for their employment; and
WHEREAS, efforts from both the public and private sectors must be
coordinated and intensified to give meaning and substance to the Magna
Carta for Disabled Persons and other relevant laws on employment to
facilitate their integration into the mainstream of society, in
general, and the labor force, in particular;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Republic of the
