ACJ Carpio: there's a pending bill in Congress to grant the same rights for same-

Falcis: Personally I can wait, and a lot of other LGBT can also wait but those are
privileged. #FalcisvCRGOrals

ACJ Carpio: if Congress allows for same-sex marriages, we must give a different

J De Castro asks the petitioners to discuss in their memo why they dont want to
call the marriage between same-sex couples as a "civil union" instead of
"marriage" #FalcisvCRGOrals
 1  1 1

Falcis: if civil unions are essentially the same as granting rights and obligations
(property relations, liabilities, obligations, etc) the equal protection clause cannot
sanction that. Marriage is a religious term, but also a legal term; asks they be
afforded the same term
  5 23

J De Castro: if they come to court and there is no law to guide the judges, how
will the judges decide?

judges #FalcisvCRGOrals

J De Castro: are you saying that there's a biological diff bet man & woman but

marriage but also asks the SC to interpret the Constitution because it mandates
equal protection.#FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: J Del Castillo in Ang Ladlad v COMELEC:“one unavoidable consequence
of everyone having the freedom to choose is that other may make different
choices-choices we would not make for ourselves,choices we may disapprove
of, even choices that may shock or offend or anger us…”
  4 10

Falcis: From the US to Ireland, many religious countries approved same sex
marriage because they believe in giving people choices. The PH is no different.
We are a Christian nation, yes. But we are also a secular Republic
#FalcisvCRGOrals

permit the State to bar same-sex couples from marriage on the same terms as
accorded to couples of the opposite sex.” #FalcisvCRGOrals


Falcis quotes Justice Kennedy: "(cont’d) In turn, those who believe allowing
same-sex marriage is proper or indeed essential, whether as a matte of religious
conviction or secular belief, may engage those who disagree with their view in an
open and searching debate. …”
  1 6

Falcis quotes Justice Kennedy: “Religions, and those who adhere to religious
doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by
divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. …”
#FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: We are aware that some Filipinos may not support same-sex marriage
especially those who oppose for religious reasons. #FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: No group of people who are endowed by their God or Creator and
recognized by the Consti to have dignity and equality should ever be treated as a
2nd class citizen in their own land #FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: They in fact have married each other under religious rites of their previous
Church - the Metropolitan Community Church PH #FalcisvCRGOrals
  3

Falcis: Further along in their religious convictions, they also believe that the Bible
does not prohibit two men or two women from marrying each other
#FalcisvCRGOrals
  1

Falcis: Agbayani, Felipe, & Ibanez are Christians. Christians who sincerely&with
all conviction believe that homosexuality is not a sin. That God, in His
omniscience & omnipotence, created all human beings - straight men&women,
gay men, lesbian women, transmen, & transwomen
  2 4

Petitioners’ 3rd argument: violation of the religion freedom of Petitioners
#FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 1

Falcis: Thus, the equal protection clause has been violated not just once but
many times by the Family Code. #FalcisvCRGOrals
  2

Falcis: The animus cannot be any clearer especially when homosexuality or
lesbianism is lumped together with drug addiction and infidelity as grounds for
annulment or legal separation #FalcisvCRGOrals
  3 14

Falcis citing Biraogo v Truth Commission: mere underinclusivity or mere
overinclusivity is not fatal to the constitutionality of a law. However, this Court
also said that when there is deliberate, purposeful, and intentional discrimination,
the equal protection clause is violated
  1 9

Falcis: current adoption laws allow homosexuals, although individually, to adopt.
The fact that LGBT couples cannot jointly adopt is another consequence and
injustice of the denial of their right to marry. A sad consequence for both LGBT
couples&orphaned children #FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 7

Falcis: denying LGBT couples the right to marry would make the legislative
classification underinclusive. Assuming children are necessary to be considered
a family, the Family Code’s legislative classification would be overinclusive
#FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 7

Falcis: Sterile couples are still allowed to marry in the PH given that procreation
is not a requirement under the Family Code before or after becoming married
#FalcisvCRGOrals


Falcis: A family founded by marriage under the Family Code also includes a
family setup by heterosexual couples without children #FalcisvCRGOrals
  3

Falcis: Petitioners Agbayani and Felipe have been living together for more than a
decade. They have established a conjugal and family life. While they cannot
make a biological child together, that does not make their relationship less of a
family #FalcisvCRGOrals
  8

Falcis: A conjugal&family life means a life of togetherness. It means
companionship. LGBT people in relationships can&do live a life of togetherness.
Some break up.Just like straight couples.But some also grow old together and
take care of each other in the sunset of their lives
  25 85

Falcis: The 4 factors of CJ Puno’s concurring opinion in Ang Ladlad v COMELEC
are all present - history of invidious discrimination against LGBTs, ability to
contribute to society, immutability of distinguishing characteristics, and political
powers of LGBTs #FalcisvCRGOrals
  2 3

Falcis: The Family Code’s exclusion of LGBT couples not only infringes on the
fundamental right to marry but is also a suspect classification because of 4
factors in Ang Ladlad case#FalcisvCRGOrals
  2 2

Falcis citing Mosqueda v Pilipino Banana Growers: J Bersamin explained, strict
scrutiny applies when a legislative classification impermissibly interferes with the
exercise of a fundamental right or operates to the peculiar class disadvantage of
a suspect class #FalcisvCRGOrals
  2

Petitioners’ 2nd argument: denial of the equal protection of the laws. The
legislative classification under the Family Code does not rest on substantial
distinction, is underinclusive, and overinclusive #FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 2

Falcis: LGBT couples, with or without children, constitute a family and so should
have access to marriage to serve as their foundation #FalcisvCRGOrals
  6

Falcis: That is why the Family Code itself says that marriage is a special contract
for the purpose of establishing a conjugal and family life #FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 4

Falcis: A family founded by marriage under the Family Code also includes a
family setup without children, even by heterosexual couples - where only the
spouses constitute the family #FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: Marriage, as the foundation of the family, does not only contemplate a
nuclear family - the traditional model of a mother, a father, and a child.

Falcis: Legally, Intervenors Agbayani and Felipe are strangers to each other.

allows couples to have peace of mind, that they will be legally recognised as
spouses because they have the freedom to choose their status
#FalcisvCRGOrals

Falcis: Without the right to marry, people are denied the freedom to choose their
status. #FalcisvCRGOrals
  5

Falcis: At its core, what is marriage? “The freedom to choose her status, which is
a privilege that inheres in her as an intangible and inalienable right…”


Falcis: When Consti says no person shall be denied equal protection of the laws
& the State values the dignity of every human person,it requires that marriage
includes couples, straight or LGBT,who are similarly situated as a class that
would serve as the foundation of the family
 2  14 28

Falcis: But something in the Consti requires that lesbian, gay, bisexual, or
transgender (LGBT couples) be included in the definition of marriage
#FalcisvCRGOrals
  1

Falcis: The text of the Constitution is clear - marriage, as an inviolable social
institution, is the foundation of the family. Nothing in the Consti limits the
definition of marriage as between a man and a woman #FalcisvCRGOrals

Angeles asks the SC to rule for same-sex marriage, rule to love, for to love is to
be human #FalcisvCRGOrals

Angeles asserts1987 Consti never envisioned marriage as being between a man
and a woman. There is absolutely no language in the 1987 Consti or any of the
previous Constis that imposes a gender restriction in order for Filipinos to
exercise their right to marry #FalcisvCRGOrals

Angeles citing Diocese of Bacolod v COMELEC: “it is this court’s constitutional
mandate to protect the people against govt’s infringement of their fundamental
rights.” This duty is highlighted by SC’s expanded certiorari jurisdiction—Art VIII
Sec 1, 1987 Consti #FalcisvCRGOrals

Angeles: This is a case of first impression involving the very definition of the right
to marry. #FalcisvCRGOrals
 

Angeles: This law, in capriciously limiting marriage between men and women,
debases human beings who are LGBTs by depriving them of a right inherent in
every human being #FalcisvCRGOrals
 1  1 7

Angeles: As will be explained by my co-counsel later in words that can only
come from a person so aggrieved, the assailed Family Code provisions unjustly
& arbitrarily deprive him&our clients of their fundamental right marry solely on the
basis of their gender #FalcisvCRGOrals
  1 2

Angeles: In Republic v Albios (2013) it is not within the powers of the State to
“dictate any kind of life that a couple chooses to lead” and “any attempt to
regulate their lifestyle…would raise serious consti questions” #FalcisvCRGOrals
  10

Angeles citing 2018 case Republic v Manalo: it is an associational right founded
on the universally recognised liberty of every human person to associate with
whom his or heart so chooses without interference from the State

Angeles: The right to marry is one of the most cherished and basic rights of any
person #FalcisvCRGOrals


Angeles: Petitioners pray for a judgment of unconstitutionality against Art. 1, 2,
6(4), and 55(6) of the Family Code for violating the fundamental constitutional
right to marry of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, or transgenders in the PH
