The Autism Society Philippines (ASP) is a national, non-profit organization dedicated to the well-being of persons on the autism spectrum disorder. We envision a society where Filipinos on the spectrum become the best of their potentials -- self-reliant, independent, productive, socially-accepted citizens of an Autism-OK Philippines.

According to President Aquino, the justice secretary will be the face of the prosecution. And during his inaugural speech, he instructs the Secretary of Justice “You have your marching orders. Begin the process of providing true and complete justice for all.”
