SM, ASP unite for an Autism-OK Philippines with ASP Angels Walk for Autism
The Autism Society
Philippines Angels Walk for Autism, held in partnership with SM Cares, returns
to the MOA Arena! More than just a walk, it is a united show of support for the
autism community and a call to build an Autism-OK Philippines.
This year’s ASP
Angels Walk for Autism aims to bring together families, professionals, and
allies from the private and government sectors, here and abroad. The main event
happens at the Mall of Asia Arena on Sunday, 21 April 21, 2024, with
simultaneous walks taking place in Cebu and Davao. More walks are happening at
later dates in Iloilo, and Lucena.
The main ASP Angels
Walk for Autism, first launched in 2000, was first held in SM MOA in 2009
before finding a home at the MOA Arena in 2015. The advocacy event continues to
resonate with the autism community and its allies, even finding supporters in
the Filipino diaspora in North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. In
the Philippines, the Autism Society Philippines has grown to an astonishing
13,000 members across 103 chapters.
The ASP Angels Walk for Autism is a powerful platform for the celebration of Filipinos on the autism spectrum and the call for acceptance, accommodation, and appreciation — impactful action beyond “awareness”! This year, the ASP honors those who have played an important role in disability-inclusive economic empowerment with the battle cry “Kakaiba, Kasali, Katrabaho!”. The Hans T. Sy Leadership Award 2024 goes to Michelle Dee, Miss Philippines Universe 2023, ASP Goodwill Ambassador and a progressive voice for disability inclusion.
