Get to know the artist more through our Q&A with him below.

Describe your art in three sentences or less.
It is a mix of art and advocacy. Entertainment and awareness. Rage and rave.

What is the role of your art in empowering LGBT?
I can't say that my art has impacted so much for the plight of LGBT. For me, the visibility of people like me making, providing, collaborating to make art is one that I hope will empower other LGBT. That not only does their life matter, more so, what they want to contribute and say to the world matters too.

What can people expect from you when they attend Pride Night?
That they will be mesmerized with my voice, I hope! Hahahaha. If not for my voice, then, I hope they be mesmerized by the message of the song. That they get empowered by merely being there, celebrating with us. Celebrating our Pride.

The History of LGBTQ+ Visibility in the Philippines

Image
By Carlos Diego A. Rozul This month of June marks a significant event within the LGBTQ+ community around the world. It was in June 1969 when the Stonewall Riot in Manhattan, New York ultimately turned the tides in the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States, which is why the world celebrates LGBT Pride in the month of June [1] . Filipino LGBT youth today may not be aware of the history of a community where they belong. Within the Philippines' conservative culture, the community’s roots have long been ignored by many. As such, let us take a quick look at the history of the LGBT movement in the Philippines, from its indigenous conceptualization to today’s advocacy for the anti-discrimination bill. The first account of women and gender crossing men playing major roles in the Philippine society was the Babaylan , a priestess who was a bounty of knowledge and spirituality. The babaylan even had the power to take charge of the barangay (community) in the absence of the datu (commun...

Tuloy PH Launches for Mental Health Awareness Month

Image
By LoveYourself Communications MentalHealthPH, LoveYourself, Flourish Circle, and MindGames launch a campaign for mental health awareness month entitled; Tuloy PH: A Community in Symphony. Throughout the month of October, the campaign aims to build awareness and engagement around managing one’s mental wellness as well as highlight different community based mental health initiatives in the Philippines. Tuloy PH was inspired by the different ways we use the Filipino word tuloy. In difficult times, we say tuloy to encourage ourselves and others to continue living or pursuing their endeavors. We also use the word tuloy to convey a sense of welcoming hospitality wherein people feel like they belong. In the same vein, the campaign empowers the community to apply these concepts to the different aspects affecting one’s mental health - Self (Ituloy ang Buhay), Society (Tumuloy Ka: Nandito Kami), and Systems (Ipagpatuloy ang Nasimulan). The campaign culminates in an online concert on October 25,...
