Good day! I am a student currently conducting research for my architectural thesis. I respectfully request the following data that can guide my work: 1. Number of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the Philippines, disaggregated by type of impairment (e.g., vision, hearing, mobility, intellectual, psychosocial, etc.) by Region, especially in Mindanao, Region 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 ,and BARMM. 2. Regional or Provincial breakdown of these PWD statistics, especially in Regions in Mindanao 3. Any recent surveys, census results, or official reports that indicate which type of impairment is most prevalent per region in Mindanao. Purpose of Request: This information will serve as a baseline reference for my academic research in architecture. By identifying which impairment type has the highest prevalence in different regions, I will be able to develop a project that is evidence-based, relevant to real needs, and supportive of government efforts toward accessibility and inclusive design. Thank you and I hope for your kind consideration.
