Today, in celebration of the International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we were able to speak about the value of the UN and its agencies in the human rights work in the Philippines.

Duterte is afraid. He must be shaking while delivering that address. He knows we are mad. Dictators resort to violence to flex their power when people start resisting. Now, more than ever, we need to make Duterte feel that we are not backing down. We need to strengthen our calls.
The saddest thing that could actually happen at work happened today. Earlier, a client texted me requesting for his result to be released. He was begging for it to be released because he wants to go back to work so he can earn again for his family.
He tested positive.
Members of the media framing this as "Awra Briguela, dinampot ng mga pulis matapos magwala sa isang bar sa Makati" doesnt sit well with me.
Her friends are speaking up abt what happened. What are you doing not doing proper research and upholding journalistic integrity? Fuck you.
PUTANGINA MO, CUTIYOG. Kaya naman pala sinusuportahan mo yung palusot ng bisugong manyak kasi nagproproject kayo ng mga gawain niyo kay Awra diyan sa Makati. Mga basura. Sabi ko na nga ba, utak at asal manyak din kayong mga pulis Makati. Ampapangit niyo.

Mga teh, onting social responsibility naman sa mga nilalagay natin sa mga placards natin. Alam nating babasahin yan ni VP Leni. So ang tanong ay: makakatulong ba ito (ako) sa kampanya o mapapasama si VP Leni pag binasa niya to? Tandaan, hindi homogenous ang target audience ni VP.
This is the reason why abuse and violence against women and queer people esp trans people is rampant in the Philippines. If we speak up, we are lying and destroying the future of a man. If we stand up for ourselves or our friends, we are the criminals.
I fcking hate this!
I cannot fathom the policeman really filed a case against AWRA— just bc shes protecting the girls 😭😭 OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY IS NOT GIVING
This is soooo fckng twisted
Anw, hell is not enough for you, Juliana. Isipin mo, this is an affront to your community and you choose to be this idiotic. Magsama kayo ni Darryl Yuck na pedo.
Alam niyo bang habang nagkakagulo tayo today sa Twitter ay hindi na iimbestigahan ng AFP ang vaccination ng PSG just because sinabi ni Dutae kagabi sa speech niya? Ayun lang. Tsaka di pa rin pala nababalik yung 15B na ninakaw sa PhilHealth.
THEATRE SHOULD ALWAYS BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE MASSES.
But my Theatre classes taught me how difficult it is to sustain an entire production season, let alone to stage one show. Magastos, maraming risks, maraming resources at passion at patience ang kailangan. (1/n)
To the Filipino Swifties who are fuming, this is the Singapore National Stadium. It has a sports venue capacity of around 55K people. On a regular concert configuration (ex. Born Pink), it can accommodate 45K to 50K and that is with minimal stage space and screen use.
EXCUSE ME HI I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY 🙋♀️ I can’t wait to see so many of you on The Eras Tour next year at these new international dates! Visit for more information on your registrations, pre-sales and on-sales!!
Soooo I asked the permission of my INC friend to post her responses re: INC's oppressive system.
She confirmed that members are conditioned to think that they should not question the pamamahala's decision which is fucked up.
So ang tanong ko lang naman ay when will you ever?
List of info you submitted when you applied for a passport:
- Full name
- Birth certificate
- Contact details
- Signature
- A valid ID
- Fingerprint
- Marriage contract, if married
- Parents' info and details
So now, whoever has an access to those info can basically be you.

So dapat pumayat muna sila bago magsisi ang mga tao for rejecting them? Parang sinabi mo naman na, "Magpapayat ka muna para may tumanggap at magmahal sayo."
Haaay. Laliman natin konti yung pag-unawa sa problema.
Ang sa akin lang, napakabilis talagang umaksyon ng administrasyon na ito pagdating sa mga kritiko at mga kilos protesta pero ubod ng bagal pagdating sa paglutas sa mga problema ng mga Pilipino--COVID 19, kahirapan, karapatan ng mga manggagawa, mga OFW na di makauwi.
Hinayupak!

Sana bigyan din natin si Nesthy ng same amount of monetary sponsorship and support as Hidilyn. It wasn't just a Silver afterall. It is a hard earned one.
All of our athletes deserve recognition, support, and sponsorships! Nakakatakot maulit sa kanya yung nangyari kay Onyok.
bakit ang UP gobyerno ang nagpapa-aral but at the same time sila din yung kumakalaban sa gobyerno like gaano kayo ka walang kwenta — Alam mo ikaw, pabibo ka rin. Hindi naman gobyerno, nagpapaaral sa amin. Sambayanan.

after being called out for sexualizing the name of PPop girl group BINI in a now changed display name. Netizens react that gay men should not be in women's businesses and should refrain from sexualizing women.
HOW CAN I TRUST THE GOVERNMENT WITH THEIR PLAN TO IMPLEMENT A NATIONAL ID SYSTEM WITH LITERALLY ALL OF ME IN IT IF THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING REGARDING THE PASSPORT DATA BREACH AND ARE TOO INCOMPETENT TO PUT SAFEGUARDS TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING???
Umulan ba? Sabay-sabay kasi naglalabasan yung mga basura: yung bouncer ng Bolthole, si Mark Christian Ravana, si Ricci Rivero at yung kapatid nyang panget, at Makati PNP.
Tbh, Vico Sotto didn't need to endorse Leni. If he's afraid of offending Isko and his uncle, I'm fine with that. But he was at least expected to say smth abt Marcos. Something he did in the past as Pasig City Councilor. What's stopping him now?
Sa mga UST students na nagsasabing, "Maka-call out kayo ng school. Bakit? Perfect ba yang mga school niyo?", wag kayong mag-aalala. Di kayo snowflake. Kahit UP, kinocall out namin pag may kagaguhang nangyayari dito. Nagrarally pa nga kami.
Di kayo special. Wag kayong ano.
Don't let what happened to Awra get swept under the rug. Everyday, things like this happen. The police always put the blame on marginalized people but cannot exert the same energy to the big fish.
Yung lolong nagnakaw ng corned beef? Kulong. Yung nanay ng presidente? Ayun malaya
We need to have a serious conversation on how gay men are being so casually misogynistic, transphobic, and femmephobic. They got so used to their privileges as men that they forgot how it is to stand in solidarity and respect other historically marginalized identities.

yung pagkakasabi niya ng "World, it's summertime", kasi parang lumampas ang Pilipinas sa summer at dumiretso na ng imperyno. 🔥🔥🔥
Pulis na yan ha? Pero wala pa ring disiplina. Kaya hindi ako naniniwala sa Mandatory ROTC. Mag-aanak lang ito ng mas marami pang power tripping maniacs gaya ni mamang pulis. Also, basura talaga ng mga pulis.
BRUTAL: An active policemen assigned to Magpet MPS, North Cotabato was caught on video mauling his girlfriend last night in Kidapawan City. Local PNP has identified the policeman as PCPL LOUIE G LUMANCAS. (CTTO PDFF)
Honestly, what happened to Awra is transphobia. The way she is maligned and mocked? The way siya lang yung pinosasan when there were at least three other men na sangkot sa gulo? The way frineframe na nagwala siya?
TW: Death, hazing
Wala talagang kwenta mga frats. Another death is added to the long list of deaths attributed to hazing. Tama na! Enough with FRVs. Enough with hazing. Enough with frats!

Imagine withdrawing your support for Leni because of problematic Leni supporters. Can I withdraw my support for Neri because of problematic Neri supporters?
People are not homogenous. Hindi dahil naoffend tayo ng iilang supporters e yun na ang character ng sinusuportahan nila.
Lol the double standard here is Leni is REQUIRED to sound nice ALL THE TIME pero lahat ng mga kalaban niya, ni walang ganyang requirement sa kanila. Tell me that that is fair.
REPEAT AFTER ME: ALL GOLF COURSES NEED TO BE CLOSED.
Only 0.01% of the population actually uses golf courses. They use too much land space and consume so much water in a time where there is an impending water shortage. Convert them to public green spaces instead.
NAMISS NIYO BA MAG-PRIDE MARCH????!!!!!! Pwes! Coming to you this April, buong bansa, mamartsa para sa pantay na karapatan at para kina Leni at Kiko. 🌈🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Abangan! 💗🌸🌷
- UP President allowing an event wherein Imee Marcos is a guest
- Upsilon greeting Marcos which reeks of sugarcoating and fence sitting
- UP-PGH allowing the tarps of pambansang epal Bong Go
- Popoy de Vera doing the DDS pose in BulSu
Wow, UP. You've been disappointing.
Friendly reminder that Direk Jade Castro and his company are currently illegally detained due to policemen not doing their job properly; that policemen actively participated in the war on drugs that killed innocent ppl.

Sweetie, are we hearing ourselves??? Coron is already a top destination even before your crusty ass went there. You are not that relevant, please lang.
Si Rendon at Rosmar akala mo may ari ng Munisipyo kung makapagmahiya kay ate. Nakaka gigil talaga ang mga tao na nanduduro. Sa mga taga Palawan specially sa Coron. Please I-persona Non Grata n’yo ang mga ‘to.
Do not prank about:
- HIV status
- being LGBTQ+
- being disowned
- mental illness
- any other kind of illnesses
- rape/sexual harassment
- being a victim
- terrorism
These are all tasteless, insensitive, and honestly, cringey. Leave that attitude in 2019.
The first lie is that Christianity is native to the Philippines.
FALSE. In our precolonial history, it is proven that queer people were treated as an equal, if not of higher status by our ancestors. Christianity killed that. Christianity killed our normality. That's the fact.
Beluso: The first lie is that genitals do not determine sex and gender.
Nowhere in any scientific journal or biology textbook says otherwise.

because frats serve no real purpose, only to breed violence and corruption. Other organizations can do what frats can do minus the violence.
I don't know anong klaseng response yung ineexpect mo from Risa, given her Catholic upbringing. Did she shame the community? Did she berate PLV? She even used the language "regrettable" which to me is a very tamed way to describe things given the backlash it received.
Naiyak ako kanina habang iniemail yung result niya. I didn't want to the bearer of bad news to the victims of this pandemic who are further victimized by our incompetent and inutile government. Sobrang bigat sa loob at sakit sa puso.
Ang weird na kailangan mong malaman kung para saan yung paglileave ng isang tao. Kahit anong field pa yan. People are entitled to leaves & they can use it however they want to. May mga nags-SL nga dyan pero magpapakarat lang pala tas nagmomoral ascendancy on this issue. E di wow.
To all her nay-sayers:
SHE STARTED A SCHOOL THAT IS FREE FOR ALL CHILDREN. FREE FOR EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO AVAIL.
She may have an incomplete and unsatisfying answer, but her practice is beyond satisfactory. Free education is shaking.
These are the kinds of stories we don't highlight so much in this pandemic. Oftentimes, we don't ask about what would happen to employees, laborers who would test positive for the virus. For sure, they have to be quarantined. But what about their work and survival?
In short, huwag na tayong umasa for Philippine dates. If only our government PROPERLY investing in creating National Stadium and Arena that may be used for sports or concerts, we wouldn't have this problem. I mean we host the SEA Games regularly.
SEE YOU MGA BAKLA SA APRIL 30 FOR OUR GRAND PILIPINAS PRIDE MARCH FOR LENI-KIKO!!!
Keep posted for the calls for volunteers, performers, and donations. 💗🌈🌸
Tara mga baccla, ipanalo na natin ito!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
Mpox cannot be spread through “having sex”. The reason why sex is an avenue for transmission is because it involves a lot of skin-to-skin contact WHICH can be found in other day-to-day activities like going to very crowded places, using mass public transportation, among others.
At the rate we are going, people will start calling Luisa from Encanto a man for having “male muscles”, despite clearly being a woman. This is what transphobia does to your brains. It boxes women, womanhood, and femininity to strict guidelines and conditions to affirm femaleness.
Ang awkward lang that this whole issue happened:
- in Makati where one of the recent Pride Marches was held,
- not even a week after the said March
- just days after the inutile President claimed that we have equality in the PH.
Sana hindi matapos bukas ang pakikibaka.
Bakit niyo tinutweet to public lahat ng mga activities niyo sa Circles niyo? Ganon po ba kayo kauhaw sa attention at validation? Hahahahaha. For what? Para ppl would knock on your doors and beg you to let them in??? Kklk ang mga whey gaze ha. Gagawin na namang personality.
Ang take ko lang naman ay people are dying. Why is it so difficult to, at the very least, not post about the brands being boycotted? If hindi kayang magboycott, keri lang. Pero yung nakiki-Free Palestine ka tas explicitly ka magpopost abt McDonald's which funds the genocide???
Since ginagawa naman niyang personality ang pagiging UP Diliman Summa Cum Laude niya, gamitin nating pang reverse uno card sa kanya at sa problematic arguments niya.
Folks, friendly reminder that legality ≠ morality. Laws were written by a privileged few to exercise control.
“Respect other people’s beliefs.”
Pero tinatawag na terorista ang mga Muslim at may mga distasteful jokes abt them. Pero pinagtatawanan yung hindi pagkain ng dugo ng mga INC.
Sweetie, sabihin niyo, yung relihiyon niyo lang yung gusto niyong respetuhin while you shit on others.
Ito ang tunay na people power. Tangina, ni hindi pa nga tayo lumalabas sa lansangan, nasa social media lang tayo, nangangatog na binti niya; paano pa pag tuluyan na tayong nag-aklas at kolektibong tumungo sa lansangan. Isa lang ang malinaw. Duwag si Duterte.

Ano bang problema ng mga baccla sa presence ng mga babae sa mga supposed-queer spaces? Wala rin pong masyadong espasyo for women that is safe enough for them. So we're just both on the shorter end of the stick. Now, if you don't like sharing, baka dapat ikaw ang mag-adjust.
If I do sex work because I am poor, my situation as a victim is romanticized.
If I do sex work because I can and I want to, I am villainized and tagged as detached from reality.
So how do we treat sex workers? How do we approach the discourse when progressives are black & white?
Kevin Balot, as a cis-passing trans woman can always talk about how she has been accustomed to almost fair treatment. But allowing that experience to be the template for all trans women is turning a blind eye to the systemic violence faced by trans people as a whole.
Ngayong gabi, may isang trans sister kaming matutulog sa kulungan kasi hinuli siya after niyang gumamit ng pambabaeng banyo, mapahiya, mabugbog, at makasuhan ng sexual harassment. Bukas, gagawin natin ang lahat para mapalaya si Alexa at makasuhan ang mga tunay na maysala.
Please lang. Geraldine Roman never represented the interest of the community or the community itself. Throwback tayo nung sinabi niya sa harap ng mga advocates for SOGIE Equality na "I am not an advocate. I am politician."
Okay pa yung Alter for Leni, Top/Versa/Bottom for Leni. Pero iba na kapag literal na kabastusan na yung mga nilalagay natin sa mga placards natin. May fine line between sex positivity and outright bastos. May mga bata at conservatives ho sa mga rallies. Learn niyo na yan.
Piracy is such a wonderful form of boycott. It’s the biggest middle finger to a company. It’s like saying: hey, you spent money producing this, and I get to enjoy this without giving you any of my hard earned money. That is the message you send when you pirate from MNCs.
Okay, boycott Disney. But this still does NOT justify piracy or promoting pirated content. Also, maybe don't watch Inside Out 2 at all---even the pirated version???
He got called out for it, in private. It was his active and conscious choice to post it publicly, exposing him to more ridicule; instead of IDK, googling it. He got called out for it, he has some incentives to google what he is being called out for. Ang tawag natin dom ay choices
Also, ngayon ko lang nalaman na binibrocha means cunnilingus. Kasi brocha means brush diba? So pano?
Yes, madali i-google. Pero why would I do that before today? I dont like andrew E.

This is so true. The government is so focused on statistics without realizing that behind these numbers are actual people who have loved ones and may support an entire family.
They fail to realize that every number added to the statistics is failure on their part.
The Taylor Swift Eras Tour fiasco demonstrates how a corrupt government that doesn't invest in sports (if only the Philippines wasn't basketball-centric) and arts and culture (better venue for all local and international concerts) can impact the appeal of our country.
Imagine calling the move to not sexualize young women OA. It's always the gays talaga. You should have just kept this in the drafts.
Kung may icocallout man ako sa mga BLOOMs ay yung unnecessary use of ad hominems pero they were correct in calling that person out.
i think walang winner for tonight since pare-parehas namang fixated yung personality niyo sa specific subject, yung isang side pagiging oa on behalf of their idol and their parasocial relationship with them tas yung kabila naman puro kantot tamod hookup tite
While I firmly believe that theatre is for the masses and should serve the interest of the masses, hindi rin natin dapat ipressure ang mga productions na gawin itong libre kasi mahihirapan din ang mga tao sa likod nito. Hindi natin sila maprepressure na palaging gumawa ng (4/n)
What is with grown ass gay men not understanding that we shouldn't sexualize everything, especially when women are involved??? The misogyny among gay men is really insane! And they're so thick to get that after being explained to.

allowed Upsilon to bid and ultimately host a UP Fair night. I am sure that you are branding UP Fair as a protest, right? So how can they protest against smth they promote and do?
It's time for Makati LGU to look into Poblacion real closely. How many cases of harassment and violence against women and queer ppl have we had since this year started? The Makati LGU doing nothing about everything that has happened in the past year alone speaks volumes.
Alam niyo kung sino yung mga tunay na talo? Yung mga Sumilao farmers. Yung mga kamag-anak ng mga namatay sa Oplan Tokhang na hinding hindi na makakatikim ng hustisya. Yung mga manggagawa nating iooverwork sa kasalukuyang sistema. Yung mga mangingisdang takot pumalaot.

Given the enormous stage and screen section of The Eras Tour, the capacity of the Singapore National Stadium would go down to around 40-45K. Now, does the Philippines have a venue that can accommodate her long ass stage while still delivering a pleasant concert experience?
