Last 18 March 2026, following the issuance of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Josef v. Ursua, the UP Gender Law and Policy Program (UP GLPP) invited legal experts, law students, and representatives from civil society organizations advocating for gender equality to take part in the discussion entitled “Josef v. Ursua: Implications on Family Relations and Property Rights” at the Malcolm Theater, Malcolm Hall, UP Diliman, Quezon City.

The forum featured a distinguished panel of speakers who examined the ruling from different legal perspectives, such as on Persons and Family Law, Property Law, Succession Law, and its impact on Marriage Equality Advocacy. The program also included an open forum after, which was well-participated by the attendees. This Proceedings synthesizes the key insights, discussions among the participants, and presentations shared by the resource persons during the event.

As part of the Program’s objectives, UP GLPP undertakes studies, research, and publications on gender issues in law and jurisprudence.
