STATEMENT CONDEMNING LARRY GADON
The Red Whistle strongly condemns in unequivocal terms a statement made by Atty. Larry Gadon, maliciously imputing that former President Noynoy Aquino had HIV, in violation of Republic Act No. 11166 or the Philippine HIV Policy Act.
WE STAND WITH AWRA!
#StandWithAwra
The Red Whistle stands in support of Awra Briguela. We question the legality of her arrest & the continued deprivation of her liberty. What happened to Awra is a display of the transphobic & anti-women attitudes of members of the police force.
Hi Cuties! Nangangailangan ba kayo ng ARV Refills pero hindi kayo makalabas ngayong pandemya?
Huwag mag-alala dahil andito si
