CEBU City Mayor Michael Rama signed an ordinance recognising and protecting members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community from discrimination and hate crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City Ordinance 2660, authored by Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President and ex-officio Councilor Jessica Resch, provides the creation of a body named SOGIESC Pride Empowerment Council (Spec) that takes charge of crafting programs and initiatives based on the city’s gender and development plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ordinance also laid out specific penalties for offensive remarks or crimes that will be done against a member of the LGBTQ community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include maliciously humiliating someone in public due to sexual orientation and inflicting physical harm on an individual due to sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verbal or physical vexing, harassing, or threatening a member of the LGBTQ community can also be penalized under the ordinance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ordinance also provides penalties for people who subject an individual to jokes, pranks, and humor based on sexual orientation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who will violate the ordinance will be penalized with three to six months imprisonment and a fine of P3,000 to P5,000 depending on the violation or the discretion of the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
