Read this ha...

For the very first time, the Philippine Senate will
tackle proposed bills that seek to penalize
discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and
transgenders (LGBTs). On August 9, 2006, the Senate
Committee on Labor, Employment, and Human Resources
Development, chaired by Sen. Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada,
will hold a public hearing on three
anti-discrimination bills that provide protection for
Filipino LGBTs against discriminatory policies and
practices in the areas of employment, education,
health care, and public service, among others.
The three bills are SBN 165 (by Sen. Luisa 'Loi'
Ejercito-Estrada) , SBN 1641 (by Sen. Miriam
Defensor-Santiago) , and SBN 1738 (by Sen. Ramon 'Bong'
Revilla, Jr.). They were all referred to the Senate
Committee on Labor, Employment, and Human Resources
Development. Of the three bills, SBN 1738 is the most
comprehensive. It is also the same as House Bill 634,
a counterpart bill filed by AKBAYAN Representatives
Loretta Ann Rosales, Mario Aguja, and Risa
Hontiveros-Baraquel , which was already approved by the
House of Representatives Committee on Civil,
Political, and Human Rights.

LAGABLAB supports the three bills and endorses SBN
1738 as the main reference bill for all the
LGBT-related anti-discrimination bills that the Senate
Committee will tackle since it the most inclusive.

Since 1999, the Lesbian and Gay Legislative Advocacy
Network Philippines, Inc. (LAGABLAB-Pilipinas ), a
network of several lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgenders (LGBT) organizations and individuals, has
been push for a national legislation that would
criminalize discrimination against Filipino LGBTs.
During the 12th Congress, the House of Representatives
approved the same bill (then numbered H.B. 6416), but
the Senate failed to approve it.

LAGALAB is once again urging NGOs and concerned
citizens in the Philippines and the international LGBT
community to support the passage of a national law
that penalizes discrimination against lesbians, gays,
bisexuals and transgenders.

Bill.

Background

Despite popular notions that "homosexuality is
tolerated in the Philippines" , Filipino LGBTs still
encounter discrimination in many areas. Within the
family, sexual abuse and physical assault are employed
to 'cure' LGBTs of their 'disease'. Discriminatory
policies and practices also create a climate of
impunity for those whose hatred against LGBTs may lead
to further abuses, or even death.

Below are some of the cases that LAGABLAB and its
organizations were able to document:

"Masculinity tests," or the imposition of an arbitrary
test to weed out gay students who wish to enter some
schools. Implemented by some Catholic schools, the
test is done by a panel of teachers and school
admissions officials. Those who flunk the tests but
have good academic records are admitted on probation
for one year and prohibited to display any indication
of homosexuality (from wearing long hair to entering a
same-sex relationship)

Refusal of entry or the provision of sub-standard
services in commercial establishments. Ambiguous dress
codes and related policies are used to bar LGBTs from
entering establishments that are otherwise open to the
public

Dismissal of lesbian students once school authorities
discover their homosexuality

"Stereotyping" in employment opportunities. Gays are
accepted solely in fields where they presumably excel,
such as the arts, entertainment and beauty industries.
Outside these professions, however, homosexuals are
discriminated in sectors that are typically
male-dominated, such as the military, police and
engineering, and to a certain extent, politics and
government service. Recently, despite the existence of
law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of
sexual orientation in the police force, the leadership
of the PNP expressed their support for the
non-acceptance of homosexuals in the service.
Dismissal due to one's disclosure of sexual
orientation or homosexual relationship, as in the case
of two women working in a human rights NGO, who were
dismissed after they revealed that they are lesbians
and are having an affair.

In some banks, lesbians and gays are denied promotion
due to the presumption that they wish to evade the
"natural responsibility" of creating a family, and
thus cannot be trusted with additional
responsibilities in the office.

The police uses vintage laws like the anti-vagrancy
and anti-public scandal laws to harass, physically
abuse and/or extort from gay men, as in the case of
raids in bars and movie houses where those who are
arrested are forced to give money in exchange for the
dismissal of the nebulous charges against them. These
raids are oftentimes covered by the media and the
arrested men are forced to face the camera and
accommodate interviews.

The anti-kidnapping law is regularly used to break
apart consensual relationships between adult lesbians,
since it is presumed that such relationship could only
exist when one of the partners is forced into it.

The Anti-Discrimination Bill seeks to penalize these
practices to allow Filipino LGBTs to exercise and
enjoy rights and freedoms accorded to all Filipinos.
The bill itself is a product of an innovative
consultation within the community. By criminalizing
discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and
gender identity, the bill affirms the Philippines'
Bill of Rights and the country's commitment to
international human rights standards.

HON. JINGGOY EJERCITO ESTRADA
Chairperson,
Committee on Labor, Employment, and Human Resources
Development
Philippine Senate

I am writing to you as a member of the international
human rights community deeply concerned about ending
discrimination toward lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and
transgenders throughout Filipino society. I understand
that several bills have been filed and referred to the
Committee on Labor, Employment and Human Resources
Development that provide comprehensive protections
against discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity in employment,
education, as well as medical and public facilities,
among other realms.

The bills were filed by Senators Luisa 'Loi' Ejercito
Estrada (SBN 165), Miriam Defensor-Santiago (SBN
1641), and Ramon 'Bong' Revilla, Jr. (SBN 1738). The
most comprehensive of all is SBN 1738.
The goal of human and civil rights measures is to
protect all persons equally, without distinction or
discrimination. By enshrining protections against
abuse and discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity, an
anti-discrimination legislation advances the promise
of the universality of rights. These are not claims to
"new rights" or to "special rights", but rather extend
protections for human dignity to include the most
vulnerable groups in society, and to publicize and
prevent the least visible and most easily concealed
violations.

In adopting this legislation, the Philippines would
join the rapidly growing ranks of countries around the
world--including South Africa, Fiji, Brazil, Ecuador,
the Netherlands, Israel, and Costa Rica--that
recognize the importance of national-level
anti-discrimination legislation in the fulfillment of
international human rights standards. Indeed, within
an atmosphere of stigma, discrimination, and lack of
social acceptance toward any social group, enshrining
protection in law is essential not only as a deterrent
to discrimination and statement of values, but also as
an educative tool in itself.

I respectfully urge your committee to approve SBN 1738
as soon as possible. The enactment of a national law
against discrimination on the basis of sexual
orientation and gender identity affirms the human
rights and freedoms that are enshrined in our
Constitution. It also upholds the country's commitment
to international human rights standards, as reflected
in our signing of the Universal Declaration on Human
Rights, International Convention on Civil and
Political Rights, International Convention on Social
and Economic Rights, and the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination, among
others.

Thank you for your efforts to end discrimination on
the basis of sexual orientation- -and concern
ultimately for the human rights of all persons in the
Philippines.



Sincerely,

____________ ______

when we got there, we were made to stand by the photo op wall. reminded me of the usual Grammy walk. lol. i never really enjoyed it. i dont like the feeling of being photographed in public. lol. crap.

soon after, we saw Nate and Joe, togetha with Andre. we all went in Embassy. Inside, we were greeted by people from HIP. The place was crowded. Though there were still space for us to walk through, it was kinda hard for us to get upstairs. but in a bit we found our way up, settled in one place and started to get drinks.

i had two gin tonics. then they started giving away stuffs downstairs. the grand prize, which was a 20K worth guitar, was awarded to ticket holder 902. mine was 904. lol. crap. i never win anything. im so jinxed when it comes to stuffs like these. lol.

then artists started to play. we had to go down so we could get close to this really awesome, and i mean awesome, group DRIFT. fuck, theyre really good. their new album is out, and you gotta check it. sitti, who was my orgmate in AIESEC, soon performed.

we got Chill Out CDs before we left for MickeyD's. nate and joe called for their driver. joei and andre hitched till the lot where they parked their car earlier. denise, jp and i called jaime and got in. we all then headed to MickeyD's near Greenbelt. ate a little. then we all headed to NUVO where joe met some of his friends. andre and joei met some of their friends too.

=P

Think Think Think

I was bloghopping, when i chanced upon a friend of mine's blog. Shes KV, met here when she was still working for HIP. Now shes with Summit Publications. What follows is a copy of her post...

From the author of It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken and He's Just Not That Into You, Greg Behrendt. It's quite a long read, but definitely worth it. Take your time and contemplate on each point, girls!

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn’t want you, nothing can make him stay.
2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
3. If you have ANY doubt in your mind about a man's character, leave him alone.
4. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
5. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
6. Don't force an attraction.
7. Slower is better.
8. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
9. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck, no, you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend.
10. Have faith in God regarding your relationship, but don't let faith make you stupid. God does things decent and in order.
11. Don't settle.
12. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is.
13. If he keeps changing his mind about the relationship, take that as a BIG sign that he is unstable. Do you really want to be with a man like that?
14. Don't stay because you think "it will get better." You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
15. Honorable men take care of their business and aren't involved in a whole lot of mess.
16. The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
17. There's only one "reason" a man dumps you; he doesn't want you.
18. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
19. You really do have to kiss a few frogs before finding the prince.
20. Always put yourself and your happiness first.
21. Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
22. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
23. If he doesn't call, he just isn't that interested.
24. Be honest and upfront.
25. Know when to cut the cord, don't be strung along.
26. Don't fall for the "I'm confused" role. Remove yourself from the situation to let him figure things out. But don't wait for him; move on.
27. If you want to have a clue as to how he will treat you, watch how he treats the WOMEN in his family, not just Mom.
28. There's more than physical abuse—there's emotional and mental abuse. If he causes any of them, flee.
29. You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes from within.
30. Don't let him place rules on you that he is not willing to follow himself—double-standard.
31. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are, even if he has more education or in a better job.
32. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less.
33. Demand respect and if he can't give it, he can't have you!
34. Don't compete with other women, but be aware that men are attracted to what they see.
35. If you think he is cheating, he probably is. Confront him right away and if you feel he's lying, let him go.
36. Actions speak louder than words.
37. Never let a man define who you are.
38. Never rely on a man for compliments, look to yourself for that.
39. Never borrow someone else's man.
40. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
41. Just because he says he loves you, doesn't mean that he won't hurt you and it doesn't mean that you are meant to be with him.
42. To use painful hard-won wisdom, "get it right" the next time.
43. Know that you deserve to be the #1 person in the life of the #1 person in your life.
44. Love is a verb.
45. Learn to give up your life-long task of trying to make someone unavailable—available, someone ungiving—giving, and someone unloving—loving.
46. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
47. All men are NOT dogs.
48. You should not be the one doing all the bending. Compromise is a two way street.
49. If you don't love yourself, you can't love anyone else.
50. You cannot mend someone else's broken heart.
51. You need time to heal between relationships. There is nothing cute about baggage. Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
52. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you. A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals. Look for someone complementary, not supplementary.
53. Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
54. NEVER give more in a relationship than you are getting out of it.
55. Never become your man's "therapist."
56. When actions and words conflict, believe the actions. Respond to the actions.
57. A real healthy relationship requires two people. One person can end it, but it takes two to make it work.
58. Don't fall for the "I'm not the loving type" of man. When a man loves you, there is nothing in this world (within reason) that he wouldn't do for you.
59. Make him miss you sometimes. When a man always know where you are and you're always readily available to him, he takes it for granted.
60. Give him his space. Let him go out with his boys. Don't pressure him to spend time with you. You can't force a man to hang out with you.
61. If you wouldn't allow your daughter to be with him, you shouldn't.
62. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later.
63. Never move into his mother's house.
64. Provide financially for yourself and don't depend on anyone.
65. Never co-sign for a man.
66. Never believe you have the perfect guy and he is so innocent.
67. Never spoil your man; let him spoil you.
68. Never let a man mess up your credit.
69. When it's time to let go, let go.
70. Good men should be treated like good men.
71. Don't play games.
72. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.
73. Keep him in your radar but get to know others.
