“Pantay na pagtingin. Pantay na kalinga. Walang labis, walang kulang.” - Heidi Mendoza

Saludo pa rin sa mga matatapang na tumindig. 🌈

[Heidi Mendoza @HeidiMendoza45]

To the LGBTQIA+ community,

Maraming salamat sa inyong katapangan, sa patuloy na paninindigan para sa karapatan…

Narinig ko kayo. I offer my sincere apology and my full attention. 💜🇵🇭

[Luke Espiritu @LukeEspirituPH]

Accountability relates not only to the care of public funds. Being accountable also means being made answerable for one's political stances. This is the foundation of a healthy democracy. No politician should be immune to criticism — even from one's own supporters, especially from marginalized groups.

In the same vein, to reduce calls for accountability to divisiveness falls into the playbook of personality politics. As alternatives to traditional politics, we must listen to those who show us their wounds and move towards better conditions, where we can address historical harm. This is not divisiveness, but a challenge to deepen our collective understanding of what we fight for.

At this time, candidates are meant to proffer up their platforms, agendas, and values in order for voters to arrive at informed decisions, ones that resonate with their own principles and needs, as is their democratic right. The campaign period is a testing ground for how well the government will listen to the governed.

Given recent events, I reiterate my long-held stance, which is that we must listen to the LGBTQIA+ community, and fight alongside them for the rights they have always deserved. We cannot simply instrumentalize the oppressed for their votes without mentioning a word about their oppression, or, worse, but ask them to relegate their oppression to the backseat in favor of "more important" causes. To listen to the oppressed is both the minimum requirement and the first, vital step in the long, difficult process of building solidarity.

I believe that we must embrace critical voters that hold candidates accountable in the interest of furthering the fight for queer rights, which, at its core, is a fight for people to live and love freely, with dignity and without fear of systemic violence and harm. In pursuit of a robust democracy, we must behave as though it already exists. Once a sector expresses its concerns, it is our civic duty to stand in solidarity.

The cause of the queer community has been left to the wayside for too long, but their struggles are connected with all the struggles of every basic sector and our collective causes, including anti-corruption. It is time we stand firmly with them, and without compromise.

Para sa akin, ang tunay na pagmamahal ay nakadugtong sa aktibong pakikilahok sa pagbabago ng mga institusyong hindi pantay para sa lahat.

Let us continue to work together to actively shape institutions that are genuine in respecting, accepting, and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community– a major, powerful force in our country that has always been at the frontlines of our historical struggles. Let us struggle together against Kadiliman and Kasamaan. Throughout history, the queer community has shown that we can work together, yet demand better. It is time that we look to them for guidance.

I continue to recognize other non-trapo candidates as allies in the fight for a better country, and still encourage voters to vote for them. However, it is our collective duty to elevate their politics. As such, I challenge my fellow non-trapo candidates to stand for the rights and dignity of those in the queer community. We must do better.

As much as being anti-corruption is the baseline for any good candidate, so too must be recognizing the inherent and inalienable right of each individual to equality under the law.

The struggle continues!

@wwantton That’s fair, but to me that only matters if she’s around 14th or 15th like KiKoBam. She’s not even in the top 25. Like it or not, these surveys tend to be on point, and let’s not pretend it’s the community’s fault if she doesn’t make the cut.😊 Sabi nga nila “minority”lang tayo.

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

Funny how some of y’all preach democracy until someone actually uses it. If some LGBTQ+ folks no longer vibe with Heidi, that’s their call.

If the Pinks, DDS, and BBMs want to vote for her and she wins, great. But stop guilt-tripping folks who decided not to vote for her.

Iginagalang ko po ang tindig ni Mam Heidi Mendoza hingil sa usapin ng marriage equality kaya ikinalulungkot ko pong ipinapaalam na binabawi ko po ang aking suporta.

Hiling ko rin po ang inyong pang-unawa sa aking naging desisyon.

Paumanhin at pasasalamat po sa inyo.

Hindi naman po required na 12 ang iboto naten for Senator. As long as it's either less than 12 or exactly 12, wag lang sobra

Conditional or Qualified Allies makes it hard for the community to be heard & truly advocate for equal & equitable rights, that shouldn't be a privilege handed over. The institution is in need of systemic change, & we need allies to make that change & not just hear it out. TY RH

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

@rmsydv No, not voting for her simply means you're not voting for her. Period.

A voter can choose not to vote for her and still avoid voting for the trapos.

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

Let's be brutally honest, whether or not the LGBTQ+ community supports her, Heidi Mendoza won't win.

It's not due to the withdrawal of support from within the community, but rather because of the flawed system and the fact that many voters are still not ready to vote for her.

[Heidi Mendoza @HeidiMendoza45]

No problem! Maraming maraming salamat pa din. 💜🤗

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

Feeling a bit sad lately.🥲

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

@inn_visible The patient initially sought medical consultation due to concerns about hair loss. During the examination, Doc also observed the presence of rashes, which were assessed as part of the overall evaluation.

Your claim that this is misleading appears to be an overinterpretation.🙄

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

@passionforpoz However, if the industry or position has specific legal or regulatory requirements mandating disclosure, compliance would be necessary.

[GeekPH @GeekPH2]

@passionforpoz First of all, you are not required to disclose your status—please refer to RA 11166. Personally, I would advise against it, as there are still certain prejudices regarding our situation.

Who would have thought? Tomorrow, I will take my oath to become a full-fledged lawyer!

I may have been silent in the alter community, but I hope to now use my voice to raise awareness for important causes within our community.
