Hundreds of volunteers from Citi Philippines, led by CEO Aftab Ahmed (third from left), joined persons with disabilities in the annual Freedom Walk recently held at the Quezon City Hall. Now on its 6th year, the event was organized by the Alyansa ng May Kapansanang Pinoy (AKAP-Pinoy) in partnership with the local government of Quezon City.Adopting the theme “Every Right-full Step We Take, All Barriers We Break,” the Freedom Walk aims to give persons with disabilities a united voice in pushing for their rights, acceptance and inclusion in society. For fielding the most number of participants in this year’s Freedom Walk, as well as last year, Ahmed was presented a certificate of appreciation by (L-R) National Council for Disability Affairs acting executive director Carmen Zubiaga; Freedom Walk 2017 vice chairperson Emer Rojas of AKAP-Pinoy/New Vois Association of the Philippines; and Freedom Walk chairperson Arnold de Guzman of the Quezon City Persons with Disability Affairs Office.
