ATTY. BENJAMIN C. ABALOS, JR.
DILG Secretary

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) stands with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. in espousing a society where diversity and inclusion remain foundational posts in establishing a truly united country.

The signing of Executive Order (EO) No. 51, s. 2023 by the President is a bold and welcome move as it recognizes the need to tackle and put the rights of Filipinos, regardless of gender and sexual orientation.

As the Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion created under EO 51, I commit to push for relevant and critical diversity and inclusion programs and policies that fully observe human rights and equality.

Asahan po ninyo ang suporta ng buong DILG sa pagtahi ng mga napapanahong pagbabago tungo sa mas inklusibong lipunan ng Pilipinas.

Sama-sama nating isulong ang isang Bagong Pilipinas kung saan kabahagi ang bawat Pilipino anuman ang relihiyon, edad, sekswalidad at pagkakalinlan.
