BIGGEST IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 🏳️🌈
Reports state that around 300,000 people went to UP Diliman in Quezon City for the yearly Love Laban Pride Festival, which organizers continuously name as the largest annual Pride event in Southeast Asia, surpassing even Pride events in Thailand where same-sex marriage is legal.
Seen in these photos is the vicinity of only one of four stages scattered across the UP campus yesterday; only one stage was featured in previous years' Pride PH festivals.
The number does not include attendees at other Pride events by different organizers yesterday in other cities and regions.
Among the many calls is the passage of a law legalizing same-sex marriage by LGBT-embracing religious denominations and same-sex civil unions.

How big is ₱35,240,000,000.00?
To exhaust that amount in just one year, you would need to spend a staggering ₱96.85 million every single day. Sounds unreal? Even if you decided to spend ₱3 million a day, it would still take you 32 years and 4 months before the money finally runs out.
In a real-life situation, ₱35.24 billion could have funded the complete 4-year college education of 1.7 million Filipino students, assuming an average tuition of ₱20,000 per semester. That’s an entire generation of future professionals whose dreams could have been secured with this amount.
That is how massive ₱35.24 billion is. Ganun ka kalala, Zaldy Co!
i hope the media stops romanticizing protests as if they’re just colorful gatherings. show the truth—may dugo sa kalsada. people are risking their lives, not just raising their voices. if you’ll cover rallies, cover them fully. don’t sanitize the struggle, expose the violence too
calling protests useless is the privilege of those who aren’t being oppressed. for the silenced, the hungry, and the abused, protests are a weapon of survival. if you feel comfortable enough to dismiss them, then you’re living off the comfort built on someone else’s suffering.
Dumaan sa feed ko sa #Reddit. If this is true, taxpayers ang nag babayad ng drivers at kasambahay even yung mga employees sa mga kumpanya ng mga Villars! 😳😡
Most of the candidates I voted for in the last elections did not win, but I never considered my votes for them to be a waste. They may seem “nugu” to you—but they stood with their principles and never stopped in their advocacy work in marginalized sectors.
