Vice President Sara Duterte hopes that members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer community and their relationships would be given the protection of the law.
As the guest speaker during the 62nd mass wedding sponsored by Parañaque City 2nd district Rep. Gus Tambunting, the official congratulated the newlyweds “for making the right decision to legitimize your union under the law,” but also expressed hope that the same could be accorded to the LGBTQ community.

Villanueva attacked the bill for what he said was the “bottomline” of eventually allowing same-sex marriage, which he said would destroy families and violate the country’s laws.
