Join the Westphal College and DAPME as we present HONORABLÉ, a film screening commemorating 2026 LGBTQIA+ and Filipino History Month.

 

HONORABLÉ highlights the political campaigns of Miel Agustin in Malolos, Bulacan and Benjie Diones in Zamboanga City as they pursue historic campaigns for public office. Their journeys reveal the personal costs, public scrutiny, and resilience required to challenge systems that have historically excluded transgender voices from elected leadership.

The film emerged from a desire to document the realities faced by transgender leaders in the Philippines as they seek political representation in a society where visibility does not necessarily translate into equality. More than a political documentary, HONORABLÉ is a portrait of resilience and a testament to communities fighting not simply to be seen, but to lead.
