Hindi na tayo nagulat sa announcement ni VP Sara. Karapatan naman nyang magdeklara kahit napakaaga. Tulad ng karapatan din ng mga Pilipino na singilin sya sa mga seryosong alegasyon ng katiwalian at paglabag sa batas—na panawagan na po natin noong 2024 pa. Mas magandang harapin at sagutin muna niya ang mga ito bago ang ambisyon na maging Pangulo ng Pilipinas.

SC RECOGNIZES PROPERTY CO-OWNERSHIP FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES

This is a step toward genuine equality. We hope to continue carrying this momentum in Congress by enacting our proposed House Bill No. 7068 or the “Right to Care Act” and HB 7069 or the “SOGIESC Equality Act” to guarantee equal protection for all Filipinos and promote inclusivity for individuals of diverse sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and sex characteristics.

As stated by Associate Justice Amy Lazaro-Javier in her concurring opinion on this landmark case, a law is still needed to grant same-sex couples the "exact same bundle of rights accorded to heterosexual relationships."

Para sa tunay na pagkilala at paggalang sa karapatan ng bawat isa, para sa pagkakapantay-pantay:
HB 7068 at HB 7069, isabatas!

'TOTOO ANG MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS'

Sinagot ng dalawang mambabatas ng Kamara ang pahayag ni Senador Robin Padilla na "mahina" ang mga kabataan ngayon kumpara noong panahon niya.

Sa halip na maliitin, dapat anilang tugunan ng pamahalaan ang depresyon at iba pang suliranin sa kalusugan.

PROGRESS FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES’ RIGHTS IN THE PHILIPPINES ❤️🌈

Same-sex couples living together can be considered co-owners of property acquired during their relationship, provided there is clear evidence of actual contribution, the Supreme Court said.

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) has ruled that same-sex couples who live together may be recognized as co-owners of property under Article 148 of the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦, provided there is proof of actual contribution.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Jhosep Y. Lopez, the SC’s Second Division granted a woman’s complaint for partition of property and recognized her as a co-owner of the house and lot she shared with her same-sex partner.

Article 148 of the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 governs the property relations of couples who are living together but cannot legally marry, acknowledging co-ownership based on their actual contributions.

The two women lived together as a couple. A year into their relationship, they purchased a house and lot, and agreed to register the property in one partner’s name to facilitate banking transactions.

Upon separation, they agreed to sell the property and divide the proceeds equally. One partner signed an 𝘈𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 stating that the other had paid about 50% of the purchase and renovation costs.

However, she later refused to sell the property and denied that her former partner was a co-owner.

To protect her interest, the former partner annotated an adverse claim on the title and demanded partition of the property. When this failed, she filed a case for partition of real estate and damages, relying on the 𝘈𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 as proof of co-ownership.

The SC granted the complaint for partition of real estate, as it clarified the provisions in the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 governing the property relations of unmarried couples living together.

Article 147 applies to unmarried couples who may legally marry. Property acquired during their cohabitation is presumed jointly owned.

Article 148, on the other hand, applies to couples who are not permitted to marry. Only properties obtained through actual contribution are considered common property.

Since the 𝘍𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 only allows marriage between a man and a woman, the SC held that same-sex couples necessarily fall under Article 148.

Here, the SC found that the signed 𝘈𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, where one partner admitted that the other paid about half of the property costs, was a binding admission and sufficient proof of actual contribution. This established co-ownership.

'FROM LEGALLY INVISIBLE, TO BEING VISIBLE'

The Supreme Court of the Philippines, in the landmark case of Josef vs. Ursua, has ruled that same-sex couples who live together may be recognized as co-owners of property under Article 148 of the Family Code, provided there is proof of actual contribution.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court stressed that Congress and other government agencies — supported by continued campaigns and advocacies with the public at large — must be involved in lawmaking and policymaking to expose and remedy the experiences of homosexual couples who have been oppressed, as the Court says it "does not have the monopoly to assure the freedom and rights of homosexual couples."

Several LGBT+ advocates and legal figures met the decision with tempered optimism, expressing hope in a renewed public and legislative push toward comprehensive policies such as the Marriage Equality Law.

"It is important to celebrate small wins, yes, but I hope it’s clear we will continue to fight for genuine equal rights and dignity. We thank the Supreme Court for moving towards the right direction," Vince Liban, Pride PH National Convener, said in his Facebook post.

"So, is this case really a win... In a way, yes. Because it acknowledges cohabiting same-sex couples. Jurisprudence acknowledging that same-sex couples fall under Section 148 of the Family Code — a law that governs Family, is a win. They are not 'roommates,' not 'business' partners. From legally invisible, to being visible. Cohabiting same-sex couples exist," Virginia Viray, a lawyer and senior lecturer in UP Law, said in a Facebook post.

"[But] there are also certain rights and protections, such as the right to SSS/GSIS survivors’ pension, that no legal acrobatics can remedy. There must be a change in law. Josef v. Ursua is a small step forward, but the journey to true visibility and equality has a long way to go," Viray added.
