The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility together with PSA Provincial Statistical Office - Rizal through the successful conduct of its latest initiative, an outreach program to persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the Tahanang Walang Hagdanan, Inc. (TWHI) in Cainta, Rizal in celebration of PSA's 10th Anniversary and in commemoration of the 45th National Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Week. The outreach program, held on 21 July 2023, aimed to make a positive impact on the community, aligns with the agency's core values of inclusively and providing quality of life for all.

The event witnessed an overwhelming response, with 75 beneficiaries actively taking part in various entertaining activities followed by a feeding activity. The administrative staff of TWHI gave a brief orientation on its history and had a quick facility tour for the PSA personnel. The PSA donated a 24-inch industrial fan and a top-load water dispenser which are among the wish lists of TWHI. Funds for the activity were donated by PSA officials and personnel, the Census Provident Funds, Inc. (CPFI), the PSA Multi-Purpose Cooperative (PSAMCO), and the Union of Statistics Employees (USE).

Along with other activities, PSA also set up a PhilSys Registration booth to accommodate those PWDs and their families who have not yet registered. A total of 16 PWDs were registered and 33 ePhilIDs were issued. PSA continues to engage with TWHI to assist in their PhilID concerns.
