In 18 years this is the farthest the SOGIE Equality Bill has gone. Now 600+ days in Senate debates, the progress we've made is in danger.
On Wednesday, the Senate will go on break. If Senators don’t #EndTheDebate & say #YEStoEquality, the future of the #SOGIEbill is grim.

DAY 607. The SOGIE Equality Bill is delayed AGAIN. This is the longest-running period of debates in Senate history because of these delaying tactics.
#EndTheDebate, Dear Senators.
Say #YesToEquality.
Pass the #SOGIEbill NOW.
Contrary to what was promised earlier, the SOGIE Equality Bill is not in today's Senate agenda. Today is the 607th day that the bill is in interpellation. We demand for our senators to #EndTheDebate now. Equality delayed is equality denied!
#LoveIsAllWeNeed#YEStoEquality
The SOGIE Equality Bill has been stuck in Senate debates for 607 days.
Each day it is delayed LGBTQIA+ people are denied jobs, healthcare, education, & other private & public services because of their SOGIE.
Dear Senators, #EndTheDebate.
Say #YesToEquality.
PASS THE #SOGIEbill.
Due to the weather, today's Equality Rally has been postponed. But keep tweeting the Senators to #EndTheDebate and say #YesToEquality by passing the #SOGIEbill!
Due to unforeseen weather conditions, we need to postpone the #EqualityRally tomorrow, 13 Aug. While our quest for equality is urgent and necessary, our safety is equally important.
Stay tuned for updates.
For now, please take care and stay safe!
Tweet to the Senators and let them know that all we need and all we ask for is EQUAL protections under the law. #EndTheDebate#YesToEquality#SOGIEbill https://t.co/WkPtNHzQy6
Tweet the Senators!
Sample tweet: Dear Senator [USERNAME], I am [NAME]. We need your support in the Senate to protect us from discrimination. Please say #YEStoEquality and pass the SOGIE Equality Bill now. #EqualityNOW
Please feel free to personalize this para mas effective!
Ipasa nyo na po PLEASE. Di naman po kami humihingi nang karagdagang karapatan. Ang hinihingi lang po namin ay proteksyon sa aming LGBTQ+. Ang hinihingi lang po namin ay PANTAY na karapatan. SOGIE BILL is BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. ✌🏼🙂💯 #EndTheDebate#SOGIEbill#YesToEquality
Dear Senator @Cynthia_Villar, every day without the SOGIE equality bill is another day it is still legal to take away a Filipino's job and home because of their identity. Please say #YEStoEquality and pass the SOGIE Equality Bill now! #EqualityNOW
Dear Senator @nancybinay, we need your support in the Senate to protect us from discrimination! You would protect so many lives. Please say #YEStoEquality and pass the SOGIE Equality Bill now! #EqualityNOW
Dear Senator @iampinglacson, every day without the SOGIE equality bill is another day it is still legal to take away a Filipino's job and security because of their identity. Please say #YEStoEquality and pass the SOGIE Equality Bill now! #EqualityNOW
Message the Senators before they adjourn on Wednesday. Tell that that what we need is for them to #EndTheDebate and say #YesToEquality by passing the #SOGIEbill now. https://t.co/AZeleaMT19
Dear Senator @Koko_Pimentel, we need your support in the Senate to protect us from discrimination! You would be protecting so many lives. Please say #YEStoEquality and pass the SOGIE Equality Bill now! #EqualityNOW
The Constitution already protects LGBT persons.
Yes, but discrimination pervades hence the need for SOGIE Law. Just as we have the Magna Carta of Women/PWDs despite equality in the Consti.There is that promise,but the statutes are attempts at some form of guarantee #endthedebate
ADB seeks to prohibit discrimination on the basis of SOGIE in accessing public and private services. It is about protecting a young student from expulsion just because he/she doesnt conform to gender expression “expected” from him/her— a deprivation not discipline. #EndTheDebate
