Hello! Baguio City just had its Pride March last Saturday, June 28. Members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community marched down Session Road carrying their calls for equal rights. More details on their advocacies here: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/luzon/baguio-pride-march-for-equal-rights/

I just attended the launch of the Simplified Legal Gender Recognition Bill today, June 30, at the University of the Philippines Center for Women’s and Gender Studies, organized by the Society of Trans Women of the Philippines. 🏳️‍🌈

Many LGBTQIA+ organizations and allies showed their solidarity earlier, including Pioneer FTM, Transmasculine Philippines, GABRIELA, Amnesty International, and Lunas Collective to name a few.

Thanks for sharing Joem!

One key message echoed throughout the march: “Pride is a protest.”

Hi @here! Pride month’s over, but the love and fight for equal rights go on. We've had quite a lot of contributions and stories for Pride month! Sharing here some of the stories you might have missed! ;)

In case you missed it, there has been simultaneous Pride mobilizations and marches outside of Metro Manila on June 28. Well, Pride marches and festivals in the Philippines are usually done on the last Saturday of June. Pero this year was quite different. Mas dumami na ang conducts especially in the regions! We've covered some of them here, you can read the stories here: https://www.rappler.com/world/pride-month/

NEWS UPDATE: The Cagandahan Bill has been refiled in the House of Representatives, Intersex Philippines announced today. The Cagandahan Bill seeks to authorize city or municipal civil registrars and consul generals to change the sex and name of an intersex person without a court order. It was named after Jeff Cagandahan, an intersex person (assigned female at birth) who won in a 2008 Supreme Court ruling that recognized the need to change his identifiers in documents to reflect who he really was.

I am not sure if you were asking anyone specifically, but I very much agree, especially with what Salinas said about being more explicit and specific po

I also think that the Learners’ TeleSafe Helpline should be publicized more, since this is the first time I've heard about it despite being part of the community

Thanks so much Rappler for covering the launch of the Simplified Legal Gender Recognition Bill 💪🏽🏳️‍⚧️✨ https://www.rappler.com/moveph/transgender-filipinos-demand-legal-gender-recognition

I also wanted to highlight that for the first time, the brutal killings against transpinays has been named by the Commission on Human Rights of the Philippines as transfemicide through the advocacy of the Society of Trand Women of the Philippines (STRAP). https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F7saTmhxx/?mibextid=wwXIfr

salamat sa insights! Yes it would be good to assess kung nakatulong yung helpline

You're welcome po! I actually also tried contacting my university to see if there's a way for them to announce/publicize the helpline, at least to their own students
