Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

The iHub Eastern Visayas Portal aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. Philippine government websites are required to meet DICT Memorandum Circular No. 004, s. 2017, which adopts ISO/IEC 40500:2012 (WCAG 2.0) as the Philippine Web Accessibility Policy.

What we've built in

• A "Skip to main content" link for keyboard users.
• Keyboard-operable navigation, menus, filters, and map markers/legend.
• Descriptive alt text on every content image, hub logo, and startup logo.
• Text and interactive-element color contrast checked against WCAG AA.
• Visible focus indicators on every interactive element.
• Minimum 44x44px touch targets on mobile controls.
• Respect for prefers-reduced-motion across site animations.

Known limitations

• Fireside Chat episodes embedded from Spotify or YouTube render inside third-party iframes.
• The interactive region map (canvas-based) is accompanied by an accessible province list mirror.
