Being LGBT in Asia: The Philippine Country Report

December 4, 2015.

Being LGBT in Asia: the Philippines Country Report provides an overview of LGBT rights in the Philippines including the effects of laws, policies, culture and social attitudes, and religion, based on research, consultation and the National LGBT Community Dialogue. This overview is followed by an examination of the Philippines experience of protecting the rights of LGBT people under eight different areas: education, health, employment, family affairs, religion, community, media and politics, using the same methodology as described above. Case studies illustrating success or challenges are included in the relevant areas. The next section examines the capacity of LGBT organizations in the Philippines. This was based on analysis of a participant survey as part of the Dialogue. The final section is a list of recommendations and action points generated by the Dialogue. In the Philippines, the grouping ‘Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)’ includes a wide range of indigenous terms with various geographical and subcultural origins. This is defined further in Annex B.

Queer Identity and Gender-Related Rights in Post-Colonial Philippines

The Philippines is at a critical historical point where LGBT identities and rights are being questioned, not in a manner of interrogation which aims to deconstruct and understand, but in a method that is often offensive and misinformed. This paper describes the Filipino queer identities in the past three decades and the struggle to attain equality in rights through legislative advocacy. The authors trace the development of Filipino queer identities from the pre-colonial period where non-binary genders were accepted if not revered, and argue that the ensuing colonial influences shaped the present state of intolerance LGBTs face today. The civil code tradition and Catholicism from the Spaniards have been fundamental forces in restricting legal gender recognition to a binary framework. A rights-based approach to advocacy, coupled with extra-legal approaches in the cultural sphere, remains a strong and needed strategy in the fight for gender equality and inclusion.

How Discrimination Happens Being LGBT and the experience of discrimination in access to employment, and the labour market in the Philippines

Free related PDFs Related papers

This paper aims to provide an overview of the presence of discriminatory practices towards homosexual workers in the Philippines, this paper explores the theoretical correlation of Michel Foucault's postruralist concepts on queer theory. Given that though we are proclaimed to the be ranked the 10th most "gay-friendly" country among the secular countries, there are still LGBTQ activist groups such as LADLAD, Babaylan, etc, annual pride parades, the proposal of Anti-Discrimination bill (now SOGIE Equality Bill) in the congress and cases of hate crimes being committed towards the LGBTQ members. With the postructuralist perspective, the paper aims to define homosexuality as being oppressed by the dominant ideology of heterosexuality through the means of a set of standards and regulations. Using research articles, that includes the treatment of homosexual workers through the means setting acceptable behaviors, homosexuals being the target for authoritative and legal action and environments that encourage sexual prejudice and discrimination. But theoretically, this paper concludes that Foucault and Derrida's concepts of homosexuality's' misrecognition in society, may prove the need to equip such laws that caters to their needs.

The struggle to end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons is a global challenge, and one that is central to the United States’ commitment to promoting human rights.” -United Stated President Barrack Obama (2011)

The labor markets has been partnered with discrimination and segregation mechanisms to specific groups of the society due to their sexual orientation, regardless the potential and characteristics of the human been. This article shows the business and occupational profiles characteristics for the LGBT community in Chapinero in Bogota-Colombia. The methodology used in this research is based on the implementation of semi-structured interviews starting from a descriptive analysis. It was found that in a first place, the discrimination and occupational segregation varies for homosexual men, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people. This means that, the segregation and discrimination are in function of the identity construction and body demonstration of the sexuality. In a second place, the working conditions of the surveyed people has a negative impact in their life quality.

The study is drawn from the challenges and experiences of the LGBT individuals in the country experiencing discrimination and harassment due to marginalization which remained to create barriers to equality for LGBT people. The passing of Anti-Discrimination Ordinances in selected cities in Metro Manila is a triumph for many LGBT groups. The study shed light on comparison of Anti-Discrimination Ordinances and the existing LGBT ordinances between the selected local governments of Metro Manila in terms of its implementation and effects. It identified which among the local government units (LGUS) initiatives suits to be the best that may serve as model for other local governments in their future legislation of their own Anti-Discrimination Ordinance. The study utilized the Principal-Agent Theory to contextualize a situation in which local governments are involved. A qualitative comparative analysis that used key informant interviews and surveys is utilized in the study. Results presented that despite having the same composition and provisions when it comes to its enactment, Marikina, Manila, and Mandaluyong differ in ways and use of systems in terms of enforcement. Thus, the three LGUs may further establish mechanisms to monitor complaints of gender-based violence and provide guidelines in handling LGBT victims and may incorporate awareness-raising campaigns.

This work focuses on discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity out of many other forms of discrimination in labor market. What emerged is a collection of experiences and potential problems faced by LGBTI people as “workers” based on the studies and researches done in this field in Turkey. It points at involved parties for a solution and debates the status of this problem in a social politics discipline. According to this, it became clear that the issue has been ignored to a great extend in the social politics discipline. In the field of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity, the LGBT comunity does not pose as a homogeneous group. While, in particular, LGB individuals can “hide” their identities and become invisible to discrimination, trans individuals are more subject to discrimination and hate due to their visibility and are in a more disadvantaged position in employment compared to the rest of the community. This disadvantage sidelines trans people, pushes them out of labor market and forced them into sex work. What is worse than discrimination in employment is the violation of the right to life. This is why, while touching LGB workers in labour force, the continuing debate will be on trans individuals given the negative impacts of widespread discrimination in society on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

Queer Politics and Human Rights: A Case Study of Homosexual and Transgender “Parlorista” in Iloilo City, Philippines, 2018

This is a case study of the selected five (5) parlorista bakla who typically identify as either homosexual men or transgenders women in Iloilo City. Parloristas are typically seen as low-income “bakla” – a colloquial Filipino term that means effeminate homosexual men an transgender women. This study identifies and describes the socio-cultural and economic background of the selected participants, analyzes the forms of oppression and acts of discrimination that they experienced and identify the types of government support and legislation that can serve as basis for further human right programming in local settings in the Philippines. The research utilized queer politics as basis of analysis into the lived experiences of respondents with varying socio-cultural and economic backgrounds. Interviews were conducted and facilitated with the use of one questionnaire. Results have shown that the respondent's multi-faceted intersectional socio-cultural and economic backgrounds play a significant role in the acceptance of the participants in various settings. The participants’ socio-economic background, as well as, the discovery of self-identified sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (SOGIE). Parloristas have developed a tolerance of discrimination and have regarded it as common-day experience that does not need to be corrected or addressed to the proper authority or institution. The findings also suggest that government support and legislation are essential in protecting the rights of these populations because legal mechanisms are most effective in curtailing discrimination. This study takes on intersectional analysis as precursor to legal redress for the discrimination of sexual and gender minorities in the Philippines.
