He reiterated his commitment to continue working through the Directorate of Social Development and with the help of Rebeca Jiménez Mendoza, head of Comudis, to give better results to this segment of the population.

He added that work is being done so that Puerto Vallarta is an example of inclusion, so the credentialing program is only the beginning and shows the unity of work that has been done.

Ivan Applegate Curiel, representing people with disabilities, mentioned that this credentialing program is a clear example that the Vallarta community through businesses, businessmen, as well as doctors and professionals, have shown the goodwill and support, being the beginning of what can be achieved.

He also requested that legal certainty be given to the Comudis, with the approval of the corresponding regulations, having the basis for this council to prevail and not disappear with each new administration.
