In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Every Filipino, including the faithfuls of Iglesia Ni Cristo, has the right to protest. But the rest of us also have the right to ask: why would a religious organization stand in defense of someone who has admitted to receiving large sums of money from private individuals while serving as a public official? On his own, and unprovoked, Senator Marcoleta has publicly and personally admitted to it. No faith, whatever the religion may be, should be used to shield corruption or place anyone above accountability and the rule of law.

the biggest pride event in all of southeast asia (over 300,000 attendees) happened in one of the most conservative countries where same-sex marriage isn’t even legalized. happy pride to filipinos and their unwavering love for their people and country. mabuhay ang mga bading!

Do they do this in front of Malacañang to preach thou should not steal?
Do they do this in front of the PNP to preach thou should not kill?
Do they dress up like this everyday? Do they wave this book for every person who forgot to fast? Who cheated?

Before the first Pride march in 1994, our lesbian sisters were the first who dared to come out to the streets when the Lesbian Collective joined the International Women’s Day protest in 1992.
Today, they marched with a replica of the banner they carried 34 years ago.

you seem pretty queer for a country so conservative
BIGGEST IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 🏳️🌈
Reports state that around 300,000 people went to UP Diliman in Quezon City for the yearly Love Laban Pride Festival, which organizers continuously name as the largest annual Pride event in Southeast Asia, surpassing even Pride events in Thailand where same-sex marriage is legal.
Seen in these photos is the vicinity of only one of four stages scattered across the UP campus yesterday; only one stage was featured in previous years' Pride PH festivals.
The number does not include attendees at other Pride events by different organizers yesterday in other cities and regions.
Among the many calls is the passage of a law legalizing same-sex marriage by LGBT-embracing religious denominations and same-sex civil unions.

Eleven of the 13 senators behind Monday's Senate coup are facing active or unresolved investigations.
Can a chamber hounded by accountability questions truly hold one of the country’s most powerful officials to account?

One thing is clear tonight: the Duterte-allied Senate bloc is willing to plunge the institution into chaos and to weaponise fear, all to shield one of their own from accountability.

Meanwhile, the 'humanitarian considerations' given to detainees under Rodrigo Duterte's watch:
SENATE ADOPTS RESOLUTION URGING ICC TO PLACE DUTERTE UNDER HOUSE ARREST
JUST IN: With 15 affirmative votes, the Senate adopts Senate Resolution No. 144, requesting the International Criminal Court (ICC) to hold former president Rodrigo Duterte under house arrest for humanitarian considerations.
Senators Risa Hontiveros, Kiko Pangilinan, and Bam Aquino voted against the resolution, while Senate President Tito Sotto and Senator Raffy Tulfo abstained.
