Veering away from the usual vibrant festivities that are expected of a Pride celebration, the 2019 Mindanao Pride March came in the form of a silent protest at the Rodelsa Circle in Cagayan de Oro City, where marchers wore black. "Silence is the loudest way to protest, and [it] brings clarity and deeper understanding to the issues that we wish to put forward to the public," said Hamilcar Chanjueco Jr, founder of Mindanao Pride.

Simbang Gabi in Cebu: ‘Why are killings okay?’'If you don’t believe in human rights, you might as well not celebrate Christmas,' Father Ramon Echica tells churchgoers on the 6th day of SimbangGabi. I believe in human rights. I just can't believe a priest would duscourage churchgoers not to attend a mass. Sayang ang donations. Can you please ask this priest as well. If you truly you are a follower of Jesus Christ, of what you have said, would Christ agree with it? True! It actually makes a lot of sense. If you condone the human rights abuses why are you going to church? Christmas celebrates Jesus coming to liberate us from our sins. That whole point is God's message that all of us are sinners and must be given another fair chance.
