This a list of institutions and agencies in the Philippines that have official websites. Some sites here are designed by MCCID students as part of their practicum/thesis to complete their course. Three sites were designed by MCCID alumni. If your company or agency is involved with helping the deaf and want to be listed here, feel free to email us at info@mccid.edu.ph.
