𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐏: 𝐆𝐈𝐅𝐓 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔

Hindi natatapos ang pagmamahal — lalo na para sa mga kabilang sa LGBTQIA+ community. Patuloy na naniniwala ang 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐠𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐚𝐧 𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐠𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧 na ang bawat miyembro ng ating komunidad ay karapat-dapat na maging bahagi ng pagdiriwang — dahil sila ay pamilya.

This Pride Month, love takes the form of action. 𝐒𝐊 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐑𝐞𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐧 𝐀. 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐛 of the Committee on Gender and Development, alongside 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐄𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 of the Barangay Council's GAD Committee joins 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐨 𝐕. 𝐀𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧, 𝐒𝐊 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐧. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐏𝐚𝐮𝐥 𝐀. 𝐑𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚, and 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜 𝐋𝐞𝐨 𝐏. 𝐀𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐫, President of Maris Ti Rugsuanan, in bringing this gift-giving activity to life.

The 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩 wasn't held in a venue. It came knocking on doors. Together with our 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐍𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐬 and 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬, the SK Council went from 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝟏 all the way to 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝟒, going house to house to personally hand over gifts to every LGBTQIA+ recipient in 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐠𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧.

And with every gift that changed hands, something simple and sincere was given back in return a smile, a moment of warmth, and two words that said everything: "𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙮𝙤𝙪." Those two words, repeated at every doorstep, reminded us why we do this in the first place.

Because love isn't just a word we say during 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡. It's something we carry through the streets, from zone to zone, house to house, until every person in this barangay knows they are seen, they are valued, and they belong here.

From the opening questions of 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞, to the stories shared in 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞, and now to the gifts brought straight to your door through 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐫𝐨𝐩.

𝐌𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐡𝐚𝐲!

This month, we celebrate the courage, stories, and contributions of the LGBTQIA+ community — people who continue to love, express themselves, and live authentically despite challenges and judgment.

As an ally, I stand with a community that deserves not just acceptance, but respect, protection, and equal opportunities.

Because everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, and valued for who they are. You are seen. You are valued. You belong. 🫶
