RA 7277 — Magna Carta for Persons with Disability

Under Republic Act No. 7277, persons with disability are guaranteed equal opportunity, access, and privileges in education, employment, transportation, and public services without discrimination. Denial, unfair treatment, or lack of reasonable accommodation violates your legal rights.

Key protections include fair employment, inclusive education, accessible public spaces and transport, minimum 20 percent discounts on eligible goods and services, and full protection against discrimination. These are entitlements, not favors. Know your rights, stand firm, and seek legal advice if they are ignored.
