Sen. Risa Hontiveros, a Sogie bill proponent, said Panelo’s announcement was evidence of “policy confusion” in the Palace. “While an anti-discrimination measure is welcome, the Sogie Equality Bill remains the best policy tool to protect members of the LGBT community from discrimination, harassment, and even violence,” she said.
