Robredo's message to LGBTQIA+ community : Push lang nang push mga besh!

The second highest elected position in the country did not forget to be one with the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex and Asexual Plus (LGBTQIA+) as they celebrate pride month, encouraging them to keep fighting for the reforms amidst the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

Vice President Leni Robredo said the LGBTQIA+ community should continue to form support groups and reach out to families and friends to promote equality.

"Darating din ang araw na babalikan natin ang lahat ng ito, sasabihing everything was worth the effort, everything was worth the sacrifice, everything was worth the fight. Push lang nang push mga besh," the Vice President said in a video message of Facebook.

(The day will come when we will look back at all this, and say everything was worth the effort, everything was worth the sacrifice, everything was worth the fight. Keep on pushing, friends.) 

“Sa ating pagbuo ng isang post-COVID-19 na mundo,
huwag sana kayong panghinaan ng loob, makilahok, makiisa at huwag magsawang rumampa,” Robredo said.

(As we create a post-COVID-19 world, I hope you don't lose hope, and instead participate, and don't stop the strut.) 

Robredo also encourages them to aspire for positions of power, such as lawyers, doctors, and public servants to "use your influence to change mindsets, promote acceptance and push for reforms on the ground." 

"Now more than ever, we need to set an example to the younger generation. Ipakita natin sa kanila na wala silang dapat ipangamba at malaya silang maging kung ano at sino sila," Robredo said. 

(Let's show them they have nothing to worry about and they can be what and who they are.)
