00:10 Game changer for persons with disability is what we have in our vehicle today.
00:15 It is modified to be easier and more comfortable for those in a wheelchair.
00:21 Let's change the game and know all about the A-Tram.
00:25 [music]
00:29 It looks like an ordinary vehicle, but wait till you see its unique advantage.
00:34 Presenting V-A-Trams or Accessible Transportation Mobile Service
00:39 that is modified for persons with disability.
00:42 This is the reason why this is a big help for our PWDs.
00:47 We can see that its elevation is just right and its slant is like this.
00:56 [music]
00:58 Meet the brains behind this innovation,
01:01 the Las Piñas Persons with Disability Federation, Inc.
01:05 During calamities, when there are storms and disasters,
01:10 it is hard for them to be rescued because there is no proper vehicle for them,
01:16 especially the wheelchair user.
01:18 With the help of the Pinoy Innovation Academy,
01:22 a project of the Center for Disaster Preparedness Foundation,
01:28 the construction of A-Trams was funded in 2023 out of 69 entries.
01:31 A-Trams was included in the top 3 innovation and the rest they say is history.
01:36 God is so good and it is one of the reasons why we ran.
01:41 We had the opportunity to modify a vehicle of the barangay.
01:47 It took several months because the roof is not just a joke,
01:53 the inside is also nailed.
01:56 One of our most important criteria is that it needs to address a problem
02:03 that really comes from the community.
02:06 Now, there are 2 A-Trams in the community.
02:10 It is not just for persons with disability,
02:12 even senior citizens can use this.
02:17 They can go to the barangay and request a vehicle.
02:19 They can use it.
02:20 Are you ready?
02:23 Just push it.
02:24 Okay, we're here.
02:25 You can see how easy it is.
02:27 It's easier than lifting it.
02:30 We can see the flooring here, they call it conveyor matting,
02:34 so that our wheelchair doesn't move too much.
02:37 But it seems like our passengers are still secure.
02:40 We also have a wheelchair lock.
02:43 This is the seatbelt.
02:44 It's cross.
02:46 It's crossed here with Emma's.
02:50 The lock is below the usual chairs.
02:56 How satisfied are you that you have this?
03:01 It's good because my ride is easy.
03:07 I'm happy that it can help me.
03:13 There you go, Kapuso.
03:17 It's great that you noticed this.
03:19 And it's about time that the members of the PWD community noticed this
03:25 and gave them this beautiful gift called A-Tram.
03:30 I hope that this will not only be available here in Las Pinas,
03:34 but also in other parts of the Philippines.
03:39 For GMA Integrated News, I'm Martin Avier,
03:42 Changing the Game!
