Mandaue PWD leaders to get higher allowance

Chapter presidents of Persons with Disabilities (PWD) organizations in Mandaue City can expect their monthly allowances to double this year following the Mandaue City Council’s approval, on first reading, of proposed ordinance granting a P4,000 monthly honorarium to each of the 31 chapter presidents of local PWD organizations. Currently, each chapter president receives P2,000 per month.

Councilor Jimmy Lumapas, chairperson of the Committee on Social Services, told reporters yesterday, April 28, 2025, that the ordinance responds to a board resolution requesting the Office of the Mayor to increase the allowance for PWD leaders, especially in light of the rising cost of living.

Based on a certification from the City Budget Office, about P1.4 million will be allocated to support the 31 chapter presidents. Lumapas said the increase would help PWD leaders fulfill their roles more effectively.
