Atayde, who is also running as as Congressman of the First District of Quezon City shared, “I am a proud ally of the LGBTQ+ community and I have so much love and respect for them,” says Arjo. “My parents raised me to treat everyone with equal kindness and inclusivity regardless of gender. I believe that LGBTQ+ rights are human rights – it is their birthright that they should not be deprived of. I celebrate their accomplishments and their choices and their lives.”
