THE AUTISM Society Philippines (ASP) Davao expects around 2,000 parents, children, advocates, and supporters for the Angels Walk 2025 at SM City Davao, Annex, on April 13.
During the Kapehan Forum on April 7, Imelda Rendon, executive director of Rainbow Intervention Center For Autism Foundation, Inc., said the event aims to promote the rights and welfare of the children in celebration of Autism Awareness Month this April.
Uswaldo Parreñas, president of ASP Davao, added, “One of the aims of the Autism Society Philippines is to create, aside from awareness, this time is to focus on the acceptance, coz we want everyone to accept the individual.”
Parreñas said 1,227 attended in last year’s Angels Walk for Autism, which exceeded their 1,000 target participants.
This year’s event will feature the same activities as last year, including showcasing the talents of children, as well as a parade that includes marching bands and mascots.
