By: Client Ryan B. Agusin 12- Sartre In today’s world, many people are still judged and treated unfairly because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. Discrimination continues to happen in schools, workplaces, and even in public spaces, which makes life harder for members of the LGBTQ+ community. This shows that our society still needs stronger laws to protect everyone’s rights. One of the most important steps toward achieving this is the passing of the SOGIE Equality Bill. I strongly believe that the SOGIE Equality Bill should be passed into law because it will help protect people from discrimination and promote fairness, respect, and equality for all. In our society today, many people are still treated unfairly just because of their gender identity or sexual orientation. This is wrong, and I believe that everyone deserves to live freely without fear of being judged or harmed. First, everyone deserves equal rights and protection under the law. Sadly, LGBTQ+ individuals are still being denied jobs, education, healthcare, and even safety in public spaces simply because of who they are. This is very unfair because just like anyone else, they deserve to enjoy opportunities and live with dignity. By passing this bill, the government can ensure that no one is left behind. Second, the bill encourages a culture of respect, acceptance, and inclusivity. When the law clearly states that discrimination is not allowed, it sends a powerful message that kindness and understanding are more important than hate and judgment. This is especially important in schools and workplaces, where many LGBTQ+ people continue to face bullying and unfair treatment. A law like this can help educate others and create safer, more welcoming environments for everyone. Third, our Constitution says that all citizens should be treated equally. The SOGIE Equality Bill will help make that promise real. It is not about giving special rights to LGBTQ+ people; it is about ensuring they enjoy the same rights and freedoms as everyone else. This is the true meaning of democracy protecting the rights of all citizens without exception. All in all, I firmly support the SOGIE Equality Bill because it upholds fairness, promotes respect, and ensures equal rights for everyone. Passing this bill will not only protect LGBTQ+ individuals from discrimination but will also make our society stronger, kinder, and more just. Equality should never be optional it should be guaranteed for all.
By: Client Ryan B. Agusin 12-Sartre The rain hammered against our tin roof that Saturday night in Purok 6, Barangay 2, Remedios Trinidad Romualdez, Agusan del Norte. Each drop sounded like a drumbeat of the heaviness inside me. In the small kitchen, the basin overflowed with dirty dishes, and a mountain of laundry slumped lifelessly on the chair, waiting for hands that were already too weary. I stood frozen, my body aching, my heart aching more. I am Clenny, seventeen years old joyful on the outside, but tonight, my spirit felt like a cracked glass, ready to shatter. Since Mama left, I’ve been the one to carry the house on my back. School by day, chores by night. Sometimes, responsibility feels less like love and more like chains. That night, staring at the mess, the loneliness I’d buried inside clawed its way out, raw and burning. On the sofa, Papa Gilbert, forty-two years old, tall, dark, handsome sat scrolling on his phone. He is a caring man, though strict, and I know he loves me. ...
