The desire for the total development of persons with disabilities is a state policy enshrined in the Philippine Constitution and reaffirmed various legislations and executive issuances; thus the National Council for the Disabled Persons is directed to rationalize all disability related efforts by formulating Comprehensive National Plan of Action which translates the objectives of Republic Act 7277, Batas Pambansa 334 into concrete programs and other related disability laws and policies.
