PNU at DSWD SCLGBTQIA+, Nagbahagi ng mga Kasanayan sa Pagsusulong ng GEDI

Tinanggap ng Philippine Normal University (PNU) ang mga kinatawan ng Special Committee on LGBTQIA+ Affairs (SCLGBTQIA+) ng Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) para sa isang courtesy meeting hinggil sa mga inisyatiba, polisiya, at mekanismo para sa pagsusulong ng Gender Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (GEDI) at pagtataguyod ng karapatan at kapakanan ng LGBTQIA+ community

Dumalo mula sa DSWD sina Undersecretary Elen De Vibar Pasion, Chairperson ng Special Committee on LGBTQIA+ Affairs, Diversity and Inclusion Committee; Assistant Secretary Atty. Jezreel Kiel M. Maristela, Assistant Secretary for the Special Committee on LGBTQIA+ Affairs, Diversity and Inclusion Committee; at Ms. Imee Mateo, SCLGBTQIA+ Affairs Staff.

Kinatawan naman ang PNU nina Dr. Leah Amor S. Cortez, Vice President for Student Success and Stakeholder Services (VPSSSS); Dr. Iona Ofelia B. Zanoria, Director ng Gender, Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity Office (GEDIO); at Dr. Merimee T. Siena, Director ng Student Affairs and Success Office (SASO).

Isinagawa ang pagpupulong sa VPSSSS Conference Room, kung saan nagkaroon ng makabuluhang palitan ng kaalaman, karanasan, at institutional practices sa pagitan ng DSWD SCLGBTQIA+ at PNU.

Ibinahagi ng PNU ang mga programa at inisyatiba nito para sa LGBTQIA+ community, kabilang ang mga aktibidad para sa Pride Month, mga pangunahing GEDI themes, at pakikipagtulungan sa iba't ibang ahensya, organisasyon, at institusyong nagsusulong ng gender equality, diversity, and inclusion.

Kabilang sa mahahalagang tinalakay ang paggamit ng lived names sa PNU, alinsunod sa University Memorandum No. 228, s. 2026, gayundin ang mga konsiderasyon kaugnay ng inclusive access to comfort rooms, kabilang ang mga umiiral na lokal na polisiya at ordinansa ng Lungsod ng Maynila.

Naging mahalagang pagkakataon ang courtesy meeting upang makapagbahagi ng mabubuting institutional practices at mapalakas ang ugnayan ng PNU at DSWD SCLGBTQIA+. Sa pamamagitan ng patuloy na dayalogo at pakikipagtulungan sa mga ahensya ng pamahalaan at iba pang stakeholders, patuloy na isinusulong ng PNU ang isang ligtas, inklusibo, gender-responsive, at affirming na pamayanang pang-akademiko na kumikilala at gumagalang sa dignidad at pagkakaiba-iba ng bawat isa.

Nagsagawa ang PNU Gender Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Office (GEDIO), sa pamamagitan ng Safe Spaces Unit (SSU), ng Student CODI Orientation and Quick Training 2026: “Understanding CODI, GBSH Cases & Student Participation” kahapon, Agosto 19, 2026, sa pamamagitan ng Zoom. Dinaluhan ito ng mga mag-aaral mula sa iba’t ibang kampus ng PNU, lalo na ang mga kaanib ng mga organisasyong pangmag-aaral na may kaugnayan sa gender advocacy, bilang paghahanda sa kanilang posibleng pakikilahok sa Committee on Decorum and Investigation (CODI).
Binuksan ni VPSSSS Dr. Leah Amor S. Cortez ang programa sa pamamagitan ng kanyang mensahe, na sinundan ng photo opportunity. Tinalakay naman ni Ms. Christinn M. De Leon, JD, Head of the Safe Spaces Unit, ang proseso ng CODI, kabilang ang paghawak sa mga kasong may kaugnayan sa Gender-Based Sexual Harassment (GBSH), kahalagahan ng confidentiality at due process, at mga pananagutan ng mga kalahok sa proseso.

Binigyang-diin din ang kahalagahan ng aktibong partisipasyon ng mga mag-aaral sa CODI upang maisulong ang student voice at mapalakas ang mga mekanismo ng Pamantasan para sa kaligtasan, proteksiyon, at pananagutan.

Pinadaloy ang programa ni Mr. Carlo Rey Miguel M. Enrile, habang nagbigay naman ng mensahe sa pagsasara si Prof. Iona Ofelia B. Zanoria, Director ng GEDIO.

Mahalaga ang oryentasyong ito sa patuloy na pagbuo ng ligtas, inklusibo, gender-responsive, at magalang na pamayanang pampamantasan. Sa pagbibigay-kaalaman at paghahanda sa mga mag-aaral, higit silang nagiging handang makilahok sa mga mekanismo ng Pamantasan at maging katuwang sa pag-iwas at pagtugon sa gender-based harassment at iba pang anyo ng diskriminasyon at karahasan.

Sa huli, pinagtitibay ng programa ang paniniwalang ang ligtas na pamantasan ay sama-samang binubuo at pinangangalagaan sa pamamagitan ng kaalaman, pakikilahok, pananagutan, at paggalang sa dignidad ng bawat miyembro ng komunidad ng PNU.

Isang makulay, masikhay, at taos-pusong pagpupugay ang iniaalay namin kay ANN GRAY C. TUBERA, mula sa Batsilyer sa Edukasyong Pangwika sa Filipino, sa kanyang natatanging pagkamit ng Magna Cum Laude, Leadership Award for the PNU USC–Student Gender and Development Commission at ng Erlinda R. Stone Leadership Award.

Higit pa sa isang pagkilala, ang mga parangal na ito ay salamin ng kanyang dedikasyon, paninindigan, at makabuluhang pamumuno sa pagsusulong ng karapatan at dignidad ng bawat kasarian. Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang pamumuno, naging mahalagang bahagi siya sa pagtataguyod ng wika at kasarian, at sa paggamit ng edukasyon at wika bilang mga kasangkapan tungo sa pagkakapantay-pantay, pagkilala, at panlipunang pagbabago.

Bilang dating Chairperson ng University Student Council – Student Gender and Development Commission, naging katuwang niya ang mga PNUan sa pagsusulong ng isang pamayanang nagbibigay-halaga sa boses, karapatan, at karanasan ng bawat isa. Ang kanyang pamumuno ay patunay na ang tunay na liderato ay hindi lamang nasusukat sa posisyon, kundi sa tapang na manindigan, malasakit na makinig, at pagkilos para sa kapakanan ng lahat.

Mula sa mga salitang binibigkas hanggang sa mga pagbabagong isinasabuhay, patuloy nawa niyang dalhin ang diwa ng isang edukador at lider na kumikilala sa kapangyarihan ng wika, pagkakapantay-pantay, at pagkakaisa.

Nawa’y magsilbing inspirasyon ang iyong tagumpay sa patuloy na pagsulong ng karapatan ng bawat isa at sa paghubog ng isang lipunang mas makatarungan, inklusibo, at may pagpapahalaga sa lahat ng kasarian.

Ang iyong tinig ay mahalaga. Ang iyong pamumuno ay may saysay. Ang iyong paninindigan ay bahagi ng patuloy na pagbabago.

Pagbati, Teacher Ann!
