Guest co-host: Brenda Pureza (she/her)

Description:

In celebration of Pride Month, this second episode of the PRIDE Series is dedicated to non-activists who want to learn about LGBTQI+ activism in the Philippines. Ryan Silverio, the Regional Coordinator of the ASEAN SOGIE Caucus and my former professor in International Studies, leads the discussion on what activism is, the changes in the LGBTQI+ movement, and significant issues confronting activists. Joining the discussion as well is my guest co-host, Brenda Pureza; she is a close friend of mine, a fellow student leader, and a feminist. She opens the conversation on the idea of holding spaces, a concept Ryan borrowed from the field of therapy, as a form of LGBTQI+ activism and the reality of burnout. Towards the end of the conversation, we share our thoughts on where non-activists can start if they want to join the LGBTQI+ movement.

Description: In celebration of Pride month, Rumble is launching its Pride Series that is dedicated to issues and ideas on advancing the rights and protection of our LGBTQI+ folks. In its first episode, I am joined by Paige Tribdino and Marl Candido, who I both know from college, in this conversation to talk about our experiences in social transitioning. We shared our understanding of what social transitioning is, how we came out to family and friends, and how we are dealing with issues of misgendering and gender dysphoria. We got the chance to look back at some of our experiences in school and how some progress has been made to affirm the identities of trans students.

We also exchanged ideas on how to cope in certain situations where we feel our identities are not respected or taken seriously.

What are our message to fellow trans and cis individuals still in the process of learning? What is the advice we got that we still hold dear and help us get through life’s challenges? Stick around until the end to find out our answers to these questions.

In this episode, Jose Antonio Custodio, Rino Francisco, and I discuss the history of red-tagging in the Philippines and share opinions about the lessons we could learn from our past to help solve the persisting communist insurgency in the country. Both my guests are leading Filipino military historians who have worked in the military and security sector as analysts and writers for several years.

In this episode, Rej is joined not by one, not two, but three guests in this interesting intergenerational conversation on feminism. Oyie, Natsy, and Dawn share their lived experiences in discovering feminism and their feminist identity, the misconception or myth on feminism that they usually encounter, and how we can give voice to our values of equality, inclusivity, and non-discrimination. They also weigh in on the discussion if anybody can be a feminist.

In this episode, Rej is joined by Professor Mary Gentile, creator and author of Giving Voice to Values (GVV). The conversation provides a glimpse of what GVV is all about and its value to members, middle managers, and senior leaders. Professor Gentile shares her leadership journey that led her to work on values-driven and ethical leadership and recalls her experiences in working on GVV with different individuals and organizations in several industries. As she emphasizes, GVV is asking a different question from “what is the right thing to do?” to “once you know what is right, how can we get it done effectively?”. And all these years of working on GVV and achieving a level of success in promoting it to different organizations across the globe, Professor Gentile says working on GVV is endless; it’s a continuous process of getting better at it and spreading the idea to more people. She also encourages people to be GVV ambassadors, are you up for the challenge?

The conversation is in English.
