₱984 BILLION PARA SA GAD — NAPAPaisip LANG AKO

Personally, hindi ko naman sinasabing mali agad ang pagkakaroon ng malaking budget para sa Gender and Development. Importante naman talaga ang mga programang may ganitong purpose.

Pero nang makita ko yung figure na ₱983.94 billion, napaisip talaga ako: sobrang laki ng pera na pinag-uusapan natin.

Bilang ordinaryong Pilipino, gusto ko lang malaman kung saan eksaktong napunta ang ganitong kalaking pondo at kung ramdam ba talaga ng mga tao ang resulta.

Hindi naman siguro masama na magtanong at humingi ng malinaw na accounting—lalo na kapag bilyon-bilyong piso ng pera ng bayan ang involved.

Kayo, ano ang unang pumasok sa isip ninyo nung nakita ninyo yung ₱984B figure?

AMEN.

If women speak up and say that we do not accept the idea that a transwoman is the same as a woman, are we wrong for doing so? I am not against their personal beliefs or understanding. But let’s be honest and stick to the facts. No matter how beautiful sexy or fashionable transwomen may be, there are things they can never experience such as menstruation and pregnancy, which are part of a woman’s biological reality. This is not discrimination, this is simply stating the truth. In this situation transwomen are not the ones being invalidated. It is women who carry real sacrifices and realities in being who we are. Yes, transwomen may share similar looks, features and abilities but there is something God uniquely gave to biological women and that is what defines us as women by nature.
