[ICYMI] Matagumpay na naidaos ang Pride March 2025 kahapon, Hunyo 28, sa University of the Philippines Diliman na pinamagatang “LoveLaban: Puksaan sa Diliman.”

Ang taunang pagdiriwang ng Pride March na ginaganap tuwing Hunyo ay isang sama-samang pagkilos ng mga miyembro at allies ng LGBTQIA+ community upang patuloy na ipaalala at ipaglaban ang kanilang mga karapatan bilang parte ng lipunan.

Isa sa mga patuloy pa ring layunin ng nasabing Pride March ay palakasin ang panawagang bigyang-pagkakataon na maipasa ang matagal nang nakabinbing S*xual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and S*x Characteristics (SOGIESC) Bill.

Ang SOGIESC ay batas na naglalayong mabigyan ng pangil ang mga umiiral na batas na magpoprotekta sa karapatan ng mga miyembro ng LGBTQIA+ community.

Hindi pa rin nawala sa nasabing pagdiriwang ang mga physical at social activities tulad ng mga booth at Pride Concert na dinaluhan ng ilang kilalang artista tulad nina Vice Ganda at Beauty Queen Michelle Dee.

[LITERARY] Ang Bahag-hari

Tuwing natatapos ang malakas na ulan,
Lagi tayong may inaabagan
Sa unti-unting pag-aliwalas ng kalangitan,
Mayroon tayong nais masilayan

Ang bahag-hari na umaapaw sa kulay,
Kaya ito ay maganda't puno ng buhay,
Mula sa p**a, kahel, dilaw at luntian,
Hanggang sa bughaw, indigo at lila man

Bunga ng mga patak ng ulan at sinag ng araw,
Ngunit, paano kung isang araw
Itim ang bahag-haring ating masilayan?
Nais mo pa rin ba itong pagmasdan?

Kung wala na ang mga kulay,
Mawawala na rin ito ng buhay
Oh 'di ba!
Sa buhay, kulay ay mahalaga

Kaya ang ating lipunan,
Patuloy natin itong kulayan
Dahil bawat isa'y may kaakibat na mga salaysay,
Mula sa mga taong galing sa iba't ibang kulay

Mga salaysay ng katapangan at kagitingan,
Kasiyahan at maging mga kasawian
Tinig mula sa mga taong matagal nang naninindigan,
Sa mapait na katoohanan mula ng ating lipunan

Maaaring bunga lang ito ng ating kamangha-manghang kalikasan,
Ngunit, bahag-hari ay sagisag ng pag-ibig na walang kinikilingang anyo’t kasarian.
Ng ating pagkakaisa,
Sa kabila ng ating pagkakaibaiba.

Kaya kung ayaw mo na itim ang masilayang bahag-hari,
Hayaang pag-unawa at pagmamahalan ang mamayani.

[BALITA] Libu-libong Mamamayan, Nagmartsa sa Senado: Panawagang Impeachment Trial kay VP Sara Duterte, Lalong Lumalakas

Dinaluhan ng iba’t ibang progresibong grupo ang nagprotesta sa harap ng Senado, ngayong Lunes, Hunyo 8 upang ipanawagan ang agarang pagsisimula ng impeachment trial laban kay Vice President Sara Duterte.

Pinangunahan ng Akbayan Partylist, kasama ang mga grupo mula sa Tindig Pilipinas, Nagkaisa Labor Coalition, ML Partylist, Kalipunan, mga organisasyon ng kabataan at estudyante, at iba pang grassroots communities ang kilos-protesta.

Ayon kay Akbayan Party President Rafaela David, lumalawak na ang suporta sa impeachment trial, lampas na sa hanay ng oposisyon. “Hindi na lang ito isang opposition campaign. Parami nang parami ang sumusulong dahil tumatanggi ang Senado — unibersidad, law schools, religious denominations, legal and constitutional luminaries, business leaders, at trade unions — lahat malinaw ang panawagan," ani David.

"Ang tanging balakid ay ang Senate leadership, na tila natatakot o determinadong protektahan ang impeached Vice President." dagdag pa nito.

Hinamon ni David si Senate President Francis “Chiz” Escudero at ang liderato ng Senado na manindigan, binatikos rin niyo ang panukala ni Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino na limitahan sa 19 araw at dalawang impeachment articles ang pagdinig. Tinawag itong “absurd” at isang “bitag na itinago bilang kompromiso.”

Dagdag pa nito, ang mungkahi ni Senator Tolentino ay malinaw na nagpapahina sa karapatan ng prosekusyon. Gayundin, ang kanyang mungkahi na pumili lamang ng dalawang artikulo ng impeachment.

Nagsimula ang martsa sa Manila Film Center at nagtapos sa Senate gates sa pamamagitan ng isang multi-faith ecumenical gathering.

Patuloy pa rin ang panawagan sa pamamagitan ng gaganaping candle light vigil at isang araw ng pagkilos para sa katotohanan at pananagutan, kasabay ng inaasahang pagtalakay ng Senado sa usapin ng impeachment.
