Macansantos.
This ordinance institutionalizes the provision of sign language interpretation in all major events organized, co-organized, or officially endorsed by the ILEGGโLSG to ensure accessibility, inclusivity, and equal participation for deaf and hard-of-hearing students within the academic community.
The ordinance recognizes Filipino Sign Language (FSL) as an essential communication tool that promotes meaningful engagement, respect for diversity, and equitable access to information during official activities and student-led programs. Through this measure, the ILEGGโLSG reaffirms its commitment to creating a student-centered environment where no student is excluded on the basis of disability.
Furthermore, the ordinance establishes comprehensive guidelines for the implementation and monitoring of accessibility measures during major events. This includes the mandatory provision of qualified sign language interpreters, coordination with accredited organizations and institutions, allocation of necessary logistical support and resources, and the establishment of compliance and monitoring mechanisms to ensure proper implementation.
The ordinance also introduces information, education, and communication campaigns that aim to strengthen awareness and appreciation of inclusivity and accessibility practices among student leaders and the wider student body. These initiatives include orientation programs, awareness campaigns, annual inclusivity forums, and partnerships that promote the use and understanding of Filipino Sign Language (FSL).
This ordinance reflects the continued commitment of the ILEGGโLocal Student Government to uphold inclusive leadership, equal access, diversity, and student empowerment through policies and programs that promote participation, accessibility, and holistic student welfare.
For further clarification, students are encouraged to coordinate with their respective class officers or directly reach out to the author of the ordinance.
