Presidential candidate and survey frontrunner Bongbong Marcos doesn’t believe that the lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender (LGBT) community pose a polarizing issue vis-a-vis religious groups in the country.

Presidential candidate and survey frontrunner Bongbong Marcos doesn’t believe that the lesbian, gay bisexual, transgender community pose a polarizing issue vis-a-vis religious groups in the country.

“I don’t think LGBTQ issues are polarizing in the Philippines, honestly. I think we are much more open-minded about it considering the fact that we are in fact [a] very Roman Catholic country. I don’t think it’s polarizing at all. I think Filipinos are, I don’t know how to put it, but we’re much cooler than most other places when it comes to these things,” Marcos said Saturday, March 26 during his guesting at The Deep Probe: The SMNI Presidential Interview.

“Let me get to the point–LGBTQ, Roman Catholic…what did the Pope say when he was asked about same-sex union? And I think the Pope said is perfectly: ‘Who am I to judge?'” Marcos stressed that all forms of discrimination “are something that we have to guard against. Because it’s corrosive eh. It just gets in the way. It doesn’t help anything.”
