Alyssa Marie A. Julio BSA-2. "Anti-Sogi Discrimination Act": Pros and Cons

The bill seeks to ban discrimination against the LGBTQI community in employment, education, and other aspects of life in the Philippines. It would protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Those found violating the anti-discrimination law could face fines of 100,000 to 500,000 Philippine pesos or imprisonment for 1 to 6 years. Supporters argue it will promote equal rights while some oppose it due to religious beliefs that do not recognize a "third sex" or concerns about potential abuses.

PROS AND CONS


PROS to Sogi Bill. To give equal rights to the member of LGBTQI community.
In terms of employmen, education and in other aspects. The employer will
give equal employment in gender identity. In education the students and
teachers will give respects to the sexual orientation or gender identity. It is
easy for them to express theirself with respect, and without thinking of what
other will think of the. CONS to Sogi Bill. Some other sector uphold for
religious beliefs and moral teachings. The Church do not recognize the 'third
sex. It is against in the priciple of the Church. The second one. What if the
member of LBTQI only wants to pretend and then take his motive if he gets a
chance. Example The member of LGBTQI pretend to be one of them and go
to the comfort room and his or her motive is evil like taking malicious act.
The action is base if his motive is evil. It can make commotion in both side
because it can complicate things and make some poblems.
