Our first gold is from a woman competing in weightlifting. Now, our second - a man in gymnastics.
The power that this message holds. Do not limit the opportunities for Filipino kids just because of gender stereotypes.
Mabuhay, Hidilyn at Caloy! 🇵🇭🥇
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte urged local government unit officials to mount their own local Pride March to support the members of the LGBT community in their cities and provinces.
“This is not just one city’s fight, this is the country’s fight, and this is the country’s fight for human rights that should be recognized and given to everyone,” she said. | via @josiahvantonio
In the five years of organizing Pride March in QC, Pride PH convenor Vince Liban admitted that they saw more people joining the fight.
As President Marcos made a statement for the LGBT community for the first time, Liban urged the president to prioritize equality measures such as the SOGIESC Equality Bill, Marriage Equality Bill, among others. | via @josiahvantonio
I’m glad that the #EJKTruthCommission is reclaiming the narrative to fight — kailangan nga naman natin #MANLABAN para sa katotohanan, at para ibalik ang dignidad ng mga biktima at kanilang mga pamilya. ✊🏻

Never ever underestimate Risa Hontiveros. She won her reelection bid in 2022 amidst the Uniteam wave. She stayed in the 2-man Minority in 19th (?) Congress but still was able to pass landmark laws while investigating Alice Guo and Quiboloy. Huwag niyo siyanh maliitin.
A CHEAP SHOT
Sen. Marcoleta’s attack on Sen. Risa Hontiveros that she did not know the rules because she is not a lawyer is a cheap shot, an argument from arrogance and credentialism at its worst.
One need not be a lawyer to recognize a legal issue. One need not be a doctor to recognize when a person has fever. And one need not be an engineer to recognize a bridge collapsing.
Sen. Risa Hontiveros may not be a lawyer but dismissing her argument on that basis is an attack on her credentials, not a defense of substance.
In public debate, the question is not who speaks. The question is whether what is being said is true.
If Senator Marcoleta disagreed with Senator Hontiveros, then he should answer her arguments, not her profession.
In the end, the irony was impossible to miss. Sen. Marcoleta was defeated by Sen. Sotto, a non-lawyer but knew the rules better.
That is the problem with credentialism. It confuses titles for wisdom and professions for truth.
INCLUSIVE CARE WINS IN MANDALUYONG CITY 🌈🏥

“We, Senators, are mere stewards of the Senate. The Senate belongs to the Filipino people, so no one gets to act like they own the place” - Sen Risa
GANDA.
All this chaos.
Just to protect the Dutertes and their allies.
The country has sacrificed too much—our institutions, our democracy, and far too many lives—for the survival of people who believe they are above accountability.
SA PAMILYANG #PANTAY, MAS MASAYA ANG BUHAY 🩷🌻
Equality, acceptance, and understanding begin at home. This International Day of Families, let us celebrate the families that lead with unconditional love, because equality starts at the dinner table. 🤍

‘IF THE VICE PRESIDENT IS GUILTY, LET THE TRUTH CONVICT HER. IF SHE’S INNOCENT, LET THE PROCESS CLEAR HER’
House Committee on Justice chairperson Gerville Luistro emphasized that “no one is above the law” in her opening statement as the committee resumes deliberation on the impeachment complaints against Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday.
“Because we owe it to the next generation of Filipinos to show them that no one, no matter how powerful, no matter the title, is above the law. Huwag nating hayaang masanay ang ating bansa sa kultura ng pagkalimot,” she said.
“If the Vice President is guilty, let the truth convict her. If she’s innocent, let the process clear her. But let it be done through the light of justice, not the shadows of silence,” Luistro added. (Video/HREP)
