Today, we went on board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, BE Cuauhtemoc, while it was docked at the South Harbor. The ship was at our port as part of its 2017 Instruction Cruise where 4th Year cadets of the Heroic Naval Military school will circumnavigate the BE Cuauhtemoc across 15 ports and 12 countries. They are also celebrating their Centenary of the Constitution and the 35th Anniversary of the Ship. On Board the Mexican Training Tall Ship, Buque Escuela Cuauhtemoc

NDPR Finale: Sports Festival!
21 July 2017
The theme today is Speed because today is the last day of the National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation celebration at Dylan's school! Their final activity is a Sports Festival and all Special Education classes are participating. That is why Dylan is wearing a "The Flash" shirt while I"m wearing a Ferrari shirt LOL
Assembly time was at 0730 and yep, even though it's a bit early for Dylan, we were both up and full of energy at this time of the morning haha
There were a number of sports activities that each class can participate in. Parents and teachers had prepared several loot bags for the kids who participate and special prizes for those who win in friendly competition with other classes.
Dylan participated in all 7 activities though it's too bad I failed to take pictures or videos of some of them because I was busy assisting and cheering him on haha

NDPR Week Continuation: Film Showing and Food Festival
19-20 July 2017
Continuing with the celebration of the National Disability Prevention and Rehabiliation Week, Dylan's class participated in a Film Showing (Day 3) and a Food Festival (Day 4).
You may wonder why there's a Film showing during NDPR week. It's actually to test how long these kids can sit, focus and watch a full-length movie. To normal people, sitting still for the whole length of a movie is a breeze. But for special kids like Dylan and his friends, it's actually pretty difficult.
On Day 4, the food festival was done to encourage kids to prepare their own meals and to teach them to appreciate good food. The kids made waffles!

Dylan's class is Munting Aklatan #95 thanks to Books for a Cause
20 July 2017
Today, Dylan's class became Munting Aklatan #95. We were fortunate to be the beneficiaries of books for Dylan's Autism class courtesy of Sir Ramil Sumangil from the Books for a Cause advocacy.
Books for a Cause receives any and all books (and even toys) and in turn donates these to people who need them. Thank you for our books!! :)

How we applied for Dylan's Person with Disability (PWD) ID
17 July 2017
The Person with Disability (PWD) ID basically serves as the PWD's passport to benefits and privileges. These benefits include discounts in theaters, hotels, fast food establishments, groceries, medicines, diagnostic procedures, dental services and domestic ticket fares; educational assistance; access to express lanes and even tax exemptions for people who care for and are living with PWD's.
Dylan has been diagnosed a long time ago but we never really pursued getting one. It was mostly because I thought that, as with most governmental procedures, it would just be tedious and time-consuming.
But, now, knowing all these benefits that he should be entitled to, and hearing from other parents how easy it was for them to get their kids' their PWD IDs, well I thought I should give it a shot. Here's our story.
