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.

What I particularly like about this is that it's grounded in the lived experiences of the trans community. Super major step forward ito to affirm our trans sisters and brothers to the legal recognition, life, and dignity that they deserve since day 1!! 🥹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The bill is set to be filed in the 20th Congress next month!! Sana maisabatas ito along with the SOGIE equality bill🤞🏼

Yesterday, June 30, Akbayan Youth - Baguio formally filed a Right to Care Card Ordinance proposal at the Baguio City Hall. If passed into law, Baguio would be the third local government unit nationwide—after Quezon City and San Juan City—to have the said policy.

Curious about your thoughts on Ricky Reyes' remarks. If you're a supporter of the SOGIE bill, how would you respond to Ricky Reyes?

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/

There have been interesting approaches also during this year's celebration. For Negros Pride, for example, their mobilization and theme anchored on campaigning for marriage equality! Read our story here: https://www.rappler.com/philippines/visayas/bacolod-pride-month-2025/

Meanwhile, one of our digital communications specialists, Christa, asked several folks in Cebu on what they know as common misconceptions about the LGBTQ+ community. https://www.rappler.com/newsbreak/podcasts-videos/misconceptions-lgbtq-community/

This one's also a good read! There are LGBTQ+ individuals like Jess who have found their community and safe space in a church. Read their story here: https://www.rappler.com/moveph/lgbtq-catholic-finding-space-church/

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.

08:21 AM

Bataan 1st District Representative Antonio Roman III filed it on June 30, Intersex Philippines said. Roman now holds the former position of his older sister, trans woman Geraldine Roman, who was principal author of the bill in the 19th Congress.

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

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

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
