To whom it may concern,

Good day! I am researching for my thesis with regards to the prevalence rate and status of visual impairment in our country.
I would like to request the Latest Regional Statistics population of persons considered to be visually impaired (including Low vision, totally blind, partially blind, color blind, etc) in the Philippines. It would be helpful if you could also provide the statistic in Pampanga and its barangay that has the largest population of the visually impaired. Your response will be a great help and much appreciated.

Thank you, have a great day!
