The Philippine's only political organisation for LGBTs has urged Catholic priests, who oppose the anti-discrimination bill, to "come out of their extravagant churches to see the reality – that some LGBTs are not hired to work, some are being harassed and violated and some 144 killed because of their sexual orientation and gender identity."

Ang Ladlad, the first gay political party in Asia vying for a seat in Congress, has thrown its support to Liberal Party standard bearer Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino and Puwersa ng Masasang Pilipino vice presidential candidate and Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay.
