KASARIANLAN

On Le***an Visibility Week, we honor and celebrate the strength, courage, and resilience of le****ns who have long been at the forefront of the fight for equality, justice, and liberation. Throughout history, le****ns have paved the way for progress by organizing communities leading movements, challenging oppressive systems, and creating spaces where love, identity, and authenticity can thrive. Their voices, labor, and unwavering commitment have been the backbone of many of the rights and freedoms we enjoy today, yet their contributions are too often overlooked or erased. This week, we make their stories visible, recognize their sacrifices, and uplift their legacy as we continue the collective struggle for a more inclusive and equitable world for all.

In the Philippines, where conversations on sexuality are often limited, being asexual is still widely misunderstood. Many assume that asexuality is just a phase, a result of trauma, a medical condition, or a lack of experience. Others equate it with celibacy or believe that asexual people are incapable of love or meaningful relationships. These narratives erase the lived realities of asexual individuals and reinforce a culture of invalidation.

Asexuality is a valid sexual orientation. It is not something to be fixed, questioned, or dismissed. Asexual people can form deep emotional connections, build relationships, and define intimacy in ways that are true to them.

Challenging these misconceptions is part of building a more inclusive society. It means listening to asexual voices, respecting their identities, and making space for their stories in our communities, schools, and institutions.

Visibility is not just about being seen. It is about being recognized, respected, and free from judgment.

Today and every day, we stand in solidarity with the asexual community. 🖤🩶🤍💜

This last day of March marks the end of Women’s Month, but empowering women doesn't end after this celebration. Because this month is as much a protest as it is a recognition of the women, their strength, and capabilities.

Women still belong to multiple marginalized groups at once as we face systemic disadvantages, whether it be social, economic, political, cultural, or physical aspects of our lives. In our fight for better rights and access to all spaces, it will always include the women in conflict zones, the q***r and transgender women, the indigenous women, the women living in poverty, and many other marginalized women in the world.

This month is a reminder that our struggle doesn’t stop with ending gender-based violence, as we women participate and will be part of every battle in our society. And this is how we, as women who know the labor, the baggage, the pain, and the sacrifices, take up the space that we always deserved. Whether we’re loud or subtle, women always find a way to resist because the struggle of women is continuous until the patriarchal system stands and until capitalism, colonialism, and imperialism exist.

So as we close this Women’s Month celebration, let us keep uplifting women’s voices and support their fight in creating a society where every woman can live with dignity, fairness, and respect.

Today, we move beyond simply “celebrating” visibility – we assert it.

Transgender Day of Visibility is a reminder that existence, for many trans individuals, is still an act of resistance. In a society that continues to police bodies, silence identities, and enforce rigid norms, to be visible is to defy the system built on exclusion.

Feminism, at its most radical form, has been about dismantling power and hierarchies – patriarchy, gender binaries, biological determinism, and all other structures that dictate who is allowed to exist with dignity. In principle, there is no exclusion in feminism. Hence, we honor the courage of trailblazers that shattered a variety of barriers and proved that trans people belong in the highest spaces in society.

We remember the victims of transfemicide, whose life and death exposed the brutal realities of violence against trans Pinays, whose names remain a call for justice. We recognize the decades of grassroots movements led by groups like Society of Tr*******al Women of the Philippines (STRAP) and Pioneer FTM, who have fought relentlessly for gender recognition, healthcare access, and dignity – long before inclusion became a heated public conversation.

And yet, these milestones alongside unfinished struggles. The continued delay of the SOGIESC Equality Bill is now beyond legislative inaction, it is a refusal to protect lives; it is the manifestation of canonization of core beliefs of patriarchy that continue to plague women and gender-diverse individuals. Trans and gender non-conforming individuals continue to face discrimination in schools, workplaces, and other spaces through policies, misgendering, exclusion, and violence by simply existing.

Hence, feminism demands that we name these for what it is: systemic oppression. In feminist principles, to fight patriarchy is to fight the rigid norms that harm all of us – and that disproportionately endanger trans communities. And so, we demand laws that defend, systems that affirm, and institutions that are held accountable.

To allies: solidarity is beyond symbolic, it is practiced in the way you speak, the spaces you challenge, and the ground you are willing to stand for.

Today, we affirm that trans and gender non-conforming individuals have always been here – leading, resisting, and mobilizing. From the margins, they have carved spaces of power, visibility, and transformation, particularly in spaces where patriarchy is not loud. Their lives are not new, not foreign, only systematically erased. Their visibility is not a privilege granted by society; it is a right that has always belonged to them.

And until every trans person can live freely, safely, without fear, we continue to fight in solidarity. At the hem of every trans voices and stories, maganda ang pagkatao natin.

Mental health is a right and it deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Join us this March 24, 8AM at the Front of Charlie Del Rosario Building for the Mental Health Parade, in celebration of Mental Health Week.

This collective effort, in partnership with PUP KASARIANLAN, BAHAGHARI PUP, WISDOM PUP, PUP Peer Facilitators Association, PUP Psychology Students Association and PUP-Bukluran sa Sikolohiyang Pilipino aims to amplify awareness, solidarity, and care within our community.

Come as you are. Wear what empowers you. Let’s take up space—for ourselves and for each other. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The Mental Health Week Activities is organized by the Office of Counseling and Psychological Services.

This March 8, we proudly celebrate International Women’s Day, historically known as International Working Women’s Day — a commemoration rooted in the courageous struggles of women who fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, political representation, and equal rights. Born from early movements that demanded dignity, justice, and equality, this day honors the enduring contributions of women throughout history and across all spaces of society. It stands not only as a celebration of progress achieved through collective strength and solidarity, but also as a reaffirmation of our shared commitment to advancing justice and equity for all.

Today, we honor the countless women across all sectors and communities whose labor — both seen and unseen, paid and unpaid — sustains our families, institutions, and societies. From factories to offices, classrooms to communities, creative industries to grassroots movements, women continue to shape our world with resilience, brilliance, and compassion.

We celebrate women in all their diversity — across identities, backgrounds, abilities, and experiences. We uplift cisgender and transgender women, women of color, indigenous women, women with disabilities, migrant workers, q***r women, and every woman whose voice and work deserve recognition and respect. International Working Women’s Day reminds us that inclusion strengthens movements and that true progress leaves no one behind.

As we commemorate this day, we do so not only in remembrance of the struggles that paved the way, but in joyful recognition of how far women have come — in hopeful determination for the equitable future we continue to build together. May we continue creating spaces where every woman’s dream is not merely an inspiration, but a lived reality, and may we remain dedicated to supporting, amplifying, and standing in solidarity with women everywhere.
