In Loving Memory of Dean Labastera

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved sibling, Dean Labastera.

Dean was more than an advocate—she was a friend, an artist, and a cherished part of our community.

Whether through her art or presence, Dean shared a light that touched countless lives. Her creativity gave color to our collective journey, reminding us of the beauty, courage, and pride that flourish when we stand together.

May she now paint the skies with all the colors she generously shared with the world.

Rest in Power and Pride, Dean. You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Ngayong Hunyo, ating ipagdiriwang ang pinakamakulay na buwan—ang Pride Month!

Ang buwang napupuno ng kulay, kalayaan, at pag-asa ay isang imbitasyon hindi lamang sa ating komunidad, bagkus para sa lahat. Isa itong espasyong pinipinta ng mga kulay ng mga kuwentong nagmamahal at lumalaban—para sa isang pantay, inklusibo, at ligtas na lipunan para sa lahat.

Happy Pride, Pilipinas! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇭

What does gender-inclusive and affirming healthcare mean to the UP Diliman community? 🤔

Join Kween Alfy Bara and Jtea Xpress as they go around the campus asking Iskos and Iskas about their experiences, insights, and hopes for a future where healthcare is accessible, safe, and affirming for all.

As Project SARILI continues its commitment toward building a gender-inclusive and affirming healthcare system in UP Diliman, these conversations remind us that change begins by listening to the community itself.

We affirm that healthcare should recognize and uphold every person’s identity and dignity! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

UP Babaylan proudly endorses its current member, “Tristan” Aguillar, together with the UP Alyansa slate, as they affirm the call to run for several positions in the University Student Council Elections.

Aspiring to become the next “Gender Councilor” and serving as one of the forefronts of Project Sarili—a research-based initiative of UP Babaylan for TGNC students, staff, and faculty that advocates for a gender-inclusive and affirming healthcare in UP Diliman—we believe that Tristan’s dedication to building a just, inclusive, and affirming space for people of all identities, guided by the UP Alyansa slate, is exactly what the University needs in building a genuinely inclusive UPD where no student is left behind.

This International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism, and Transphobia
Join us as we collectively reimagine a democratic society—one that genuinely recognizes the call of the LGBTIQ+ community and one that includes us all.

For a life that is enabled and empowered to thrive in a system that truly sees every color, shape, and identity, is a society that respects diversity and cherishes equitable change that affords inclusive access to healthcare, education, and justice.

Because the everyday hope for an equal and inclusive society is a fight we share and a dream we hold. A dream that should no longer be a dream but a reality, in a truly democratic society. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

A BIG STEP FOR GENDER INCLUSIVE AND AFFIRMING HEALTHCARE IN UP DILIMAN 🌈🏳️‍⚧️

In creating spaces for dialogue, we make visible what has long been overlooked. After a month-long consultation with our UP consitutents, Project SARILI’s roundtable discussion brought together offices across UP Diliman to collectively envision a future with an accessible gender-inclusive and gender affirming healthcare for all.

The discussion surfaced critical gaps, ongoing challenges, and opportunities for strengthening gender-inclusive healthcare systems within the university. More importantly, it underscored a shared responsibility—to move beyond conversation and toward concrete, sustained action.

This is not the final step, but a step forward. Project SARILI remains committed to advancing a healthcare system that affirms the dignity, identities, and needs of every student, staff member, and member of the UP Diliman community.

Today, we mark the last day of Women’s Month and also honoring International Transgender Day of Visibility.

We celebrate all women—embracing every identity, every story, and every form of becoming.
