Hiraya

2016 ended on a remarkably-high note for the SOGIE Equality Bill, where all related bills were consolidated and approved in the House Committee on Women and Gender Equality. This is one of the farthest points a version of the Anti-Discrimination Bill has come close to passage.

2017 not only brings in new hope but also a new fight. While we wait for the bill to be calendared for its second reading, we enjoin you to stand with us in this campaign.

Let's translate this collective dream into reality. Together, we can create a culture of acceptance and respect for Filipinos for the years to come.

For a copy of the BILL, you may check the full document here: http://bit.ly/HB51_AntiDiscrimination.

We are who we are, no matter how hard we try to fit into the mold that society has set for us. Be completely honest to allow yourself to know who you really are and be liberated enough to let everyone know. You don't owe anyone an explanation but you owe it to yourself to express your true self. We are given a chance to choose and become who we want to be, don't put it to waste by suppressing it.

"AKO AY AKO"

MECHANICS:

1. Take a picture of yourself holding a board or paper that completes the statement "Ako Ay...” which would express your own identity, personality or thoughts
2. Attach a caption or description that is related or connected to the statement given. Foul or bad words are strictly prohibited
3. Kindly send it to our e-mail, [email protected] with the subject "AKO AY AKO”
4. This will be posted at our FB page and Twitter

Spread the word, but not the virus.

Do you have a fever that won't go away? Are you always tired? Are sores or ulcers suddenly popping up around your mouth? Read on and assess how you're feeling for the past few days, weeks or months.

We debunked some myths for you as well. There's no such thing as knowing for sure whether or not you have it — don't risk your life, get a test.

Let us come together as one Bedan community in praying the Holy Rosary.

Hiraya will be conducting an activity entitled "CLOSER TO GOD"
This is open for everyone - students from College of Arts and Sciences, Medicine, Nursing, and Law, faculty, administrators, etc.

*Pray for your personal intentions.

Please see poster for details.

"That in all things, God may be glorified"

FYI

Me: Finally, may makakausap na ako..

"Salot, malas, abnormal — in this supposedly progressive times, stereotyping is still well-used especially towards the minority groups. Everybody envisions the world we have now as accepting, nurturing, and full of out-of-the-box thinkers. But it seems as though sometimes it is the opposite. People are labeled "different" or an "anomaly" when they refuse to conform to society's standards, when they break free from the molds set by the majority, and when they tear apart the label others have given them and make a new one for themselves. This is why HIRAYA exists. We'd like people to allow themselves to stop caging themselves in — get out there and do what you're good at regardless of what others might say. You do you, don't let other people tell you otherwise."
