Onward with the struggle for the rights of lesbians, gays, bisexual and transgenders! Pass The anti-discrimination bill!
by Rep. Teddy Casiño In Solidarity with the International Pride Celebration June 26, 2011
Twenty one years after the World Health Organization's historic action of removing homosexuality from its International Classification of Mental Disorders, the miserable plight of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and trans sexual communities continue. All over the globe, they have horrifying stories of discrimination, vilification, and violence. LGBTs are paying a terribly high price due to age-old prejudices and state-sanctioned or church-sponsored homophobia and transphobia.
Numerous triumphs have been achieved by the LGBT movements and human rights advocates around the world, marked by milestones such as the establishment of the International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia or IDAHO every May 17 and Gay Pride Month every June, the adoption in 2006 of theYogyakarta Principles on the Application of International Human Rights Law in Relation to Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, and the United Nation’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, or ICCPR.
On the forum “TRANSforming Views: The TRANSituation and the Right to Live, Love and Let Be” by Rep. Teddy Casiño Baguio City, June 24, 2011
Isang bonggang bonggang hapon sa lahat ng mga kapatid nating lesbians, gays, bisexuals, trans genders at trans sexual na nagtitipon ngayon dyan sa UP Baguio. Paumanhin at hindi ninyo ako personal na makakasama ngayong araw. Gayunpaman, ang inyo pong lingkod ay buong pagmamalaking nakikisa sa pandaigdigang pagdiriwang ng Gay Pride ngayong buwan.
Binabati ko ang mga bumubuo ng Baguio Pride Network, Lesbond at ng Society of Transsexual Women of the Philippines sa serye ng mga aktibidad na inyong inilulunsad upang ibayong palakasin ang pagkakabigkis ng mga LGBTs sa bansa at upang pataasin ang kamulatan ng lipunan sa inyong mga isyu.

Magandang Hapon sa inyong lahat. Challenges to human rights ang topic ko, very basic. Apat ang major challenges ng human rights.
The first is the recognition that human rights encompasses not only civil and political rights but including yung sinasabi natin na second generation rights, yung economic, social and cultural rights. Pero hindi lang yan. May 3rd generation rights and human rights at ito ay ang collective right of the people to development and self determination. Anim po ang major clusters ng rights na ito na dapat i-recognize.

Recital of Facts on the NBN-ZTE Contract and Northrail Project
By Rep. Teddy Casiño Delivered before the House Committee on Justice on its deliberations of the impeachment complaint vs. Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo November 24, 2008
Mr. Chairman, my distinguished colleagues. Former speaker Jose de Vencia has given a substantial account of the facts of the President’s knowledge and involvement in the anomalous NBN-ZTE contract. May I just be allowed to add a few more facts.
Twenty one years after the World Health Organization's historic action of removing homosexuality from its International Classification of Mental Disorders, the miserable plight of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and trans sexual communities continue. All over the globe, they have horrifying stories of discrimination, vilification, and violence. LGBTs are paying a terribly high price due to age-old prejudices and state-sanctioned or church-sponsored homophobia and transphobia.
