Relentlessly Chase

This Pride, let us celebrate wins, not .

Cebu Province officially lets LGBTQIA+ couples register as designated care partners giving you the right to:
- accompany & visit
- receive updates
- *participate* in discussions regarding patient care “when expressly authorized”
- be an emergency contact, etc

But there’s something glaringly missing. It falls short of the famous QC Right to Care Ordinance which designates you as a health care agent who can make critical health decisions for your partner when they’re incapacitated.

Cebu’s EO allows you to *participate* in discussions but not make healthcare decisions in case of incapacity.

It’s an amazing win for sure, but what do you think? Is it enough or does Cebu need to go all the way like QC? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks for having me as your SOGIESC Speaker at the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Summit 2026

Transitioning is the internationally recognized treatment for gender dysphoria. But there’s a whole other side to the journey:

Gender Euphoria - that incredible feeling of peace, joy, and “home” when you finally see your true self reflected back at you. ✨
