MANILA — Actress and philanthropist Angel Locsin had a simple response to followers questioning her post in support of the queer community, in light of her being a Christian.
Locsin was among the high-profile celebrities who expressed their allyship with the LGBTQ+ community, in celebration of Pride Month.
She also used the hashtag #FreePride20, a call to release arrested participants in a Pride rally in Manila last week. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Angel Locsin on Jun 28, 2020 at 8:42pm PDT Locsin answered: "As for my knowledge as a Christian, ang paulit-ulit na binabanggit sa Bible is, 'Love one another' or, 'Love your neighbor.' 'Yan ang tungkulin natin sa Diyos at kapwa na dapat nating sundin at Diyos lang ang makakahusga."
