PHILIPPINE DEAF RESOURCE CENTER
The PDRC was founded in 2001 on three cornerstones: RESEARCH, INFORMATION and NETWORKING.
This is rooted in the belief that research-based advocacy for, and by the Filipino Deaf community is a key to its struggles. The PDRC is a non-stock, non-profit corporation. Fields of focus include sign language linguistics and interpreting, employment and livelihood, education, media and technology, health, policy and legislation, and Deaf culture and the arts.
Information and telecommunications technology play an important role in the workings of the PDRC. As a resource center, it goes beyond the convention of being a static repository of materials. Much of its know-how and services that it has available to share is brought out to the community and aims to build a strong virtual presence at the grassroots.
