A meaningful and productive Committee Meeting for the Proposed Ordinance No. 22, Series of 2026 prohibiting discrimination on the basis of S*xual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and S*x Characteristics (SOGIESC) in the Municipality of Consolacion, Cebu, and providing penalties therefor.
The committee meeting was truly a success, reflecting our shared commitment to equality, respect, and inclusivity for every Consolacionanon.
We extend our sincerest gratitude to Mayor Teresa “Nene” Pepito Alegado and Vice Mayor Joannes Joyjoy Pepito Alegado, the brainchild of this landmark ordinance, for their vision, leadership, and unwavering support in championing the rights and welfare of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Special thanks as well to Hon. Dodong Rex Pepito, Hon. Victor Maglasang, Hon. Ma. Analee Corpin, Hon. Fred Herrera and GAD Focal Person Ms. Ruby Maligro for their 100% support of this important ordinance.
We also thank the Chapter President of Barangay Tilhaong, Epir Oscares, the Chapter President of Barangay Poblacion Oriental, Zyron Quiapo Lada, and the Chapter Vice President of Barangay Pitogo, Blue Tan, for standing with us in this advocacy.
The proposed ordinance is now calendared for Second Reading, and we remain hopeful for its successful Third and Final Reading without any objections from the Sangguniang Bayan of Consolacion.
Together, we continue to build a safer, more inclusive, and discrimination-free Consolacion.
