SOGIESC2 basedAnti-Discrimination Act does not aim for special rights.

We all have a
sexual orientation and gender identity or expression. All of us will together be
protected by this law. All we are saying is, whether you are a straight man or woman,
gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or queer, we all contribute to society, we are all
equal. all it wants is a guarantee that no limitations are set on a child or person
because of their sexual identity – something no parent would want for their child.

On whether the bill violates religious freedom, Hontiveros said the proposed measure
would only govern matters of state, and does not aim to change religious teachings. s
Pope Francis also said, ‘LGBTQ people are children of God.’ Are we who are
religious going to be the ones to shut our hearts and minds? Aren’t compassion and
kindness the primary teachings of the church? This will neither change the Church's beliefs
nor the teachings of the Bible

However, a 2018 survey released by the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce and

research firm Cogencia reveals that local companies are not yet accepting of LGBTQ
members in their policies.

iscrimination experienced by persons of diverse SOGIE include stereotyping and

more extreme forms of stigma such as unfair treatment and outright rejection.

In 2015, a nightclub in Taguig City refused entry to some transwomen due to its
“No Crossdressers Allowed Policy”. One of them presented their California State
ID which indicated their female name and gender marker  but was still turned
away by security personnel who said “Lalaki pa rin ‘yan”, (He’s still a man).

In 2008, a rape victim underwent rectal surgery to remove a canister which was
used to sexually assault him. Unknown to him at the time, attending medical
personnel took photos and videos of the procedure while making a ridicule of the
patient. The video footage was uploaded online, causing the victim to be the
subject of public mockery and disdain by the local church .

Recently, transgender students were barred from wearing the garb of their choice
in their graduation rites due to requirements that their clothing should conform to
the sex reflected in their school records.  

Persons of diverse SOGIE suffer from harassment and assault, the effects of
which range from psychological trauma to physical injuries and even death.
While disaggregated data on cases are not available, anecdotal evidence from
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities show that victims of
such crimes face difficulties in obtaining redress due to prejudicial attitudes by
service providers. Some also experience being targeted on account of their being
transgender by law enforcers, being victim-blamed in rape cases by officers of
court  and police officers .

There are also those who fail to obtain proper recourse due to the limited judicial
understanding of gender expression and identity. This is demonstrated in People
v. Penonia, wherein the trial court upheld an elementary school principal’s action
of forcing a student to wear a school curtain due to the child’s refusal to wear the
uniform skirt for girls. The principal’s action was deemed as an imposition “that is
within the ambit of her authority” in order “to give sense to the agreed school
policy and to correct AAA’s deviating attitude”.

The 1987 Constitution declares that the State values the dignity of every human

Constructive Speech

SOGIESC based anti-discrimination act or senate bill 1934 prohibits

discrimination, marginalization, and violence committed on the basis of sexual
orientation, gender identity, gender expression and characteristics. The 1987
Constitution declares that the State values the dignity of every human person
and guarantees full respect for human rights as well as the right of every person
to the equal protection of laws. However, the inequities and biases faced by
persons of diverse SOGIE remain unaddressed. The lack of national policy that
prohibits these discriminatory practices leaves them with no recourse for
redress.  This results in continued violations of their human rights by other
individuals and public and private institutions. This bill enables a child to express
his SOGIESC without being afraid of being scolded by their parents because. At
a young age, they are not deprived of their rights to embrace their SOGIESC.
