I wrote this for #Pride2021 to offer a new perspective on #LGBTQ activism. To "hold space" is to harness collective power. It can be done by allies, queer folks in difficult contexts, those who need to de-center their power. 🏳️‍🌈

Filipinos may be kind. But a closer look at Philippine society reveals an underlying cruelty: the inequalities perpetrated towards the poor.

Taena ng lipunan na kayang magpakulong agad-agad ng nagnakaw ng Goya chocolate worth 80 pesos pero hindi kayang ipakulong ang mga nagnanakaw ng bilyon-bilyon sa kaban ng bayan.

I truly wish @chedphofficial will reform higher education in the Philippines, and make it more research oriented, competitive, and practical.

I used to be hopeful about Philippines. Now, I relate with my being Filipino with a pragmatic stance.

If you are young and full of energy, find opportunities to go abroad, and change your citizenship.

Philippines is hopeless.

A survey conducted after the unjust police raid on a health event in Kelantan—misreported as a 'gay party'—found that nearly 70% of respondents feared for their safety, and 35% reported harassment from neighbours or others.

Finally. There is so mich to benefit from improved bilateral relations between India and PH.

Also, time for PH to negotiate visa-free entries for us Filipinos. Time to flex our value as travellers who bring business.

Tired of being a Philippine citizen.

The police must be our partner in defending human rights. Thanks to our police force for securing the Pride March.

Sadly, in other @ASEAN countries the police are perpetrators of harassment, raids against LGBT peaceful gatherings.

#TolakLGBT? Nope.

Been surveying masters grad programs offered by PH universities. Same stuff - MBA, MPA, Educ, Psych, Management...

Can't @PhCHED help HEU's to offer innovative ones?

Dear Philippine Airlines, your online booking system is frustratingly hopeless. You choose flight, put all the passenger details and then ooops... And this isnt a single instance.

Getting worried about reports about the new scam at Manila airport called #punitpassport. The scam involves tearing passenger passports and consequently preventing them from flying. This is worrying.

The #Myanmar #Burma junta didn’t stop attacks on civilians after the #Sagaing Quake.

During 28 Mar-14 Apr,the illegal junta launched 189 air & artillery strikes on civilians - 127 after their "ceasefire".
These attacks killed 134 civilians.

Ito ang tinuran ni Dr. Cielo Magno, economic professor at dating Department of Finance (DOF) undersecretary, sa usapin ng pagtaas ng bilang ng mga naghihirap na mga Pilipino sa bansa.

Aniya, nakakaawa na dumarami ang ating mga kababayang naghihikahos samantalang may mga programa naman ang pamahalaan na makatutulong sa taumbayan.

Katulad umano ng Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) kung saan nakikinabang ang mga mahihirap, ngunit imbes na pondohan ng gobyerno ay binawasan pa dahil inilipat sa Ayuda para sa Kapos ang Kita Program (AKAP) at Tulong Panghanapbuhay sa Ating Disadvantaged/Displaced Workers (TUPAD).

Para kay Magno, dapat na binabalangkas ng gobyerno ang mga programa gaya ng 4Ps, kung saan kapag binigyan ng assistance ang mahihirap ay tuloy-tuloy ito hanggang sa panahon na maiaahon sila mula sa kanilang kahirapan.

Pero ito aniyang ginagawa ng gobyerno ngayon kung saan naglalaan ng malaking pera sa mga ayuda na one-time lang ay malinaw umanong pagbili lamang ng suporta at boto ng mga tao.

Inihalimbawa din ni Magno ang problema sa PhilHealth na kinakailangang maayos para ‘di mahirapan ang ating mga kababayan.

Ang nangyayari aniya ngayon, kinukuha ng mga politiko ang pera ng Philhealth at pinapalaki ang pondo sa kanilang medical assistance, para sila ang kailangang lapitan para hingan ng tulong.

Pagdiin ni Magno, sobrang nakakaawa ang taumbayan dahil sa dami ng buwis na binabayaran, ngunit nahuhulog lang aniya tayo sa pambobola ng mga politiko.

Sa bandang huli, ang mga serbisyong kailangan at dapat na matanggap aniya mula sa gobyerno ay kailangan pa nating limusin mula sa mga politiko.

No big deal. Heidi will lose, as in laglag sa ranking. She won't even be a loss to the movement.

Shame on you Ralph Recto. You and other elites in government have all the resources not to be dependent on public healthcare.

[Batas PH @Batas_Ph]

LOOK: Associate Justice Mario Lopez grilled DOF Sec. Ralph Recto on the questionable use of PhilHealth funds for government infrastructure projects.

Secretary Recto responded by saying that the PhilHealth funds were spent on infrastructure projects, such as roads and bridges.

I think @RichHeydarian could have compared the HDI levels of most Mindanao provinces with that of Syria. The use of Sub-Saharan Africa has triggered the racist tendencies of Filipinos.
