00:00 A special graduation ceremony was held by Quezon City for the members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
00:08 It was prohibited to march because of dress code restrictions.
00:12 This is what Sujin Kim reported.
00:14 If Meili was forced to wear the clothes she wanted to wear for her graduation,
00:20 she will not be allowed to march during her studies.
00:24 When I was in college, I had long hair.
00:30 There was a policy that we were not allowed to have long hair.
00:32 I lost my confidence because I felt like, "What is this? Why is my hair so ugly?"
00:40 That's why Meili is saddened to know that there are students who cannot march because of their gender expression.
00:47 As a part of the third gender, I feel sad to them because of some school policies.
00:54 They are not allowed to express themselves and who they are.
00:58 This is also the sentiment of Karishma who is graduating tomorrow.
01:01 I feel sad and angry that there are still cases like this.
01:05 I feel for them, of course, as a member of the community myself.
01:09 Karishma said that even though the police are progressive in their education,
01:13 there are still some who are caught up in this kind of behavior.
01:16 Of course, there should be no student who is deprived of that right of freedom.
01:22 That's why on June 22, Quezon City LGU held a special graduation ceremony for LGBTQIA+
01:31 to give the right of students to have a free end and to march according to their own presentation.
01:40 March with Pride in QC is for students who are not allowed to march in their graduation rights
01:48 if they violate the dress code of their school.
01:50 Even though the DO32S 2017 or the Gender Responsive Basic Education Policy of the DepEd
01:58 that ensures equality of every race is in force.
02:02 It also ensures non-discrimination and equal rights of all people, especially in the provision and administration of basic education.
02:10 The support of netizens has already increased.
02:13 A netizen also announced that this is a way to fight for the rights of everyone
02:19 and to fight for the rights of all people.
02:22 This is just one of the activities in the 85th anniversary of the city.
02:26 The program for members of the LGBTQIA+ community is open.
02:32 Those over 18 are residents of QC or students in a school in QC
02:36 who were not able to march because of their self-expression.
02:40 Registration is open until June 7.
