 In 2001, an anti-discrimination bill banning discrimination based on sexual orientation was unanimously approved by the House but it was stalled in the Senate, and ultimately died.The only bill directly concerning discrimination against the LGBT community in the Philippines is the "Anti-Discrimination Bill", also known as the "SOGIE Equality Bill".This bill seeks that all persons regardless of sex, sexual orientation or gender identity be treated the same as everyone else, wherein conditions do not differ in the privileges granted and the liabilities enforced.
