Dungog allegedly violated the SOGIE Equality Ordinance or the LGBT Code of Mandaue City, at the same time the Safe Spaces Ordinance. The Facebook post was already deleted but netizens and the LGBT+ community were able to obtain screenshots and shared them where they felt outraged and dismayed especially since they have been advocating for equality.

“Mandaue City does not take lightly any person who degrades another within its jurisdiction. We value inclusivity as well as freedom of expression.

As part of the celebration of Pride Month in June, Mandaue put pride flags in different areas in the city, especially along the roads.
