Many thanks to my dear brother-in-law for accepting my award and delivering my gratitude: Thank you so much to St. Scholasticas College Department of Mass Communication and Hildegarde Founding Chair Professor Johnathan Libarios Rondina for this award. It is a great honor for me as a Scholastican to be recognized by my alma mater. When I was in high school here, I always knew that St Scho was different from other Catholic schools in that it didnt let doctrine get in the way of the true teachings of its church. The fact that the committee chose to award a writer who focuses on gay and lesbian issues is proof that the concepts of love, tolerance, acceptance, and equal and fair treatment are not foreign to any nation or religion. Thank you so much for this recognition. It is a victory I share with my readers, the Rappler crew, and most of all, the LGBTQ community on which my efforts are never wasted. Thank you to Rappler President Maria Ressa for the opportunity and for giving me a medium for my voice, and to St. Scholasticas College once again for this honor and for making me a tough Kulasa who speaks up for what is right. Salamat.
