I would like to request for the Latest Regional Statistics of population of persons considered to be blind/Visually Impaired ( of which include Low vision, totally blind, partially blind, color blind, light perception) in the Philippines. It would be much helpful if you could also provide the specific province/city that has the largest population of the visually impaired in the country.
