SALIGAN is proud to feature our externs: Francheska Mari Alivio, Deanne Lawrence Tano, and Michelle Angela Ucab, third-year law students from the Ateneo de Davao University – College of Law who recently completed their externship as part of their Clinical Legal Education Program.

They immersed themselves in community-centered legal work and learned how the law can be a tool for empowerment and social change. Their reflections remind us that meaningful lawyering goes beyond courtrooms — it’s about making justice accessible to the people who need it most.

For 25 years, the SOGIE Equality Bill has been the longest-running bill in Philippine legislative history. From only including “Sexual Orientation” in its initial filing, its latest version now covers “Gender Identity”, “Gender Expression”, and “Sex Characteristics” as well. Across 9 congresses and several versions, the bill has evolved yet its core remains: to protect every Filipino from discrimination.

To the 20th Congress, it is high time to heed our call: PASS THE SOGIE EQUALITY BILL NOW!!
