On The Up College Of Law Faculty Members' Statement Of Support For The Urgent Passage Of The Sogiesc Equality Bill

I welcome the statement of support for the urgent passage of the SOGIESC Equality Bill by members of the UP College of Law Faculty. This declaration is a testament that the SOGIESC Equality Bill is grounded on the principles of our laws and constitution.

This legislation is an affirmation of every individual's rights and dignity, and an recognition and protection of those most vulnerable to violence and hate.

I echo the UP College Faculty Members' call on all law students in particular and the broader society in general to stand behind the SOGIESC Equality Bill to help build a country free of discrmination, hate, and abuse.
