In Naic, Cavite, the fight for equal rights takes a meaningful step forward through the inclusive leadership of Mayor Rommel Magbitang and the advocacy of LGBTQIA+ organizations.
Local group LGBTQIA+ One Naic, along with Alon, LGBT Federation, and LGBT Pilipinas Naic, have come together to form a united front for empowerment and equality.
“Sama-sama nating isulong ang iisang layunin: pagkakapantay-pantay, pagkakaunawaan, at tunay na pag-ibig sa komunidad,” an organizer shared, highlighting their mission for understanding and unity.
Mayor Magbitang has pledged strong support for the community, not just in principle, but through active participation in programs that promote inclusivity. Among these initiatives are SOGIE and HIV awareness drives, free medical and mental health assistance, livelihood training, Pride outreach efforts, and anti-discrimination advocacy.
“Walang maiiwan. Sa Naic, lahat posible,” the mayor declared — a powerful affirmation of inclusive governance.
This collaboration signals a transformative shift in local leadership: one that values empathy, representation, and justice for all, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation. Together, they’re building a community where hope and equality go hand in hand.
