Last night, I stood as a witness to 222 LGBTQIA+ couples, who exchanged their heartfelt promises during the 🏳️🌈 Commitment Ceremony, spearheaded by the QC LGU.
It may just be a ceremonial event, but the sight of happy couples overflowing with love gave me hope. Higit sa kanilang gayak ang galak na walang kapantay!
I felt loved! Wala man akong jowa, handa akong “mag-Ninang” nang paulit-ulit para sa mga taong puno ng pag-ibig!
I stan this inclusive initiative led by gender advocate and LGBTQ+ ally, Mayor Joy Belmonte and the QC LGU. This Commitment Cermony is a huge step towards equality. But we will keep walking until the state legally recognizes ourcommitment and love will be recognized.
Hindi namin kailangang ikasal sa simbahan; ang kailangan namin: ang makilala at makita ng lahat na ang pag-ibig namin ay mabuti at hindi kasalanan. Because just like your love, our love is beautiful and meaningful. 💖🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
To all our “Inaanaks”, Cheers to love, laughter, and happily ever after! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌈
THIS IS VERY ALARMING! Ngayong umaga, natuklasan ko na ang mga taong malalapit sa akin ay na-involve sa isang “Recruitment Process” para sa diumano’y “National Assistance”.
ANG DIUMANO’Y KALAKARAN:
Nagre-recruit ng mga botante. At ang pangako: PhP 50K. Pero hindi matatanggap nang buo ang 50K dahil mayroong commission ang mga “lider” (people who recruited them). Hinihingan sila ng photocopy ng ID with signature at contact number.
ANG DIUMANO’Y KAPALIT:
Bago makuha ang National Assistance, may listahang ibibigay sa April 30 - listahan ng mga iboboto sa May 9. (As of today, hindi pa raw nila alam kung sino ang nasa listahan. Sorpresa raw ito.)
Ang nakakagulat, kailangan munang magbigay ng PhP 110 Reg Fee.
Sa mga LGBTQIA+ FOR LENI, BUKAS, halina’t mag-MARSTA TAYO PARA SA PAG-IBIG! Isang mapusong pagtitipon para isulong ang mga karapatan at hangarin ng Filipino LGBTQIA+ Community. Dahil sa #GobyernongTapatPantayPantayLahat . 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🌈💖

Today, my Mama Irene joined me at the Proclamation Rally of Leni-Kiko-Tropang Angat in QC. This is her second Leni-Kiko event.
At the rally, I saw her give a standing ovation, clap her hands, get teary during speeches, do finger hearts, wave at VP Leni even though she was only among the thousands of people who wanted to see her.
The last time my Mama was all-out in an election was in 2016 - when I ran for the City Council of Marikina. And she’s all fired up again.
As she declares, “Leni is the best choice! Mahusay. Tapat. Masipag magtrabaho. Lumalaban lang kahit hinihiya. Maka-Diyos. Babae. Ina. Lider.
Walang masama sa week-long timeline of the commercial. Pero crucial ang date stamp ng clapper - January 8, 2022 - that you posted, especially in the series of events. We can’t help but ask:
1. Kailan ka nag-shoot with BBM and Sara?
2. Di ba, as pronounced by the BBM Camp in their Jan 3 memo, may postponement ng in-person campaign activities mula January 3-15? Anyareh?
3. Nilalagnat ba talaga si BBM on January 6 or was he just evading the COMELEC during the hearing on January 7?
4. If he had symptoms, did BBM really isolate or did he violate the isolation protocols?
