Abstract: Given the appropriate setting and aid, disabled persons can perform various jobs satisfactorily. However, their right to have a decent work is often overlooked and ignored. This study aims to determine how the respondents assess the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons; develop an advocacy and resource material to promote the rights and privileges of Disabled Persons in terms of employment and bridge the gap between them and possible employers. Using qualitative research method specifically narrative analysis and expert sampling as sampling technique, researchers conducted a personal interview to collate data from five (5) experts of four (4) different food establishments. An interview guide questionnaire derived from the Magna Carta for Disabled person and approved by thesis adviser was used for this study. The data gathered from the interview were recorded, transcribed, coded and analyzed by the researchers and validated by the research adviser. Based on the findings, majority of the hired PWD employees of chosen establishments were hired through personal recommendations alone and do no undergo intricate examinations. Sheltered employment and continuous apprenticeship are willingly offered to Disabled Persons if an open employment is not guaranteed in the establishment and even after failing the initial apprenticeship period. The discrimination on the employment of PWD is very minimal to almost nonexistent. Unfortunately, despite the inclusion and considerations, the government still lacks on effort in implementing the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons specifically in providing incentives to firms which provide employment opportunities to PWDs.
