PH: 4th year death anniv of murdered transgender by Sherbien Dacalanio
Militant and LGBT groups march on the streets of Manila going to the US embassy as they commemorate the death anniversary of Filipina transgender Jennifer Laude. In 2014, Laude was killed by American serviceman Joseph Scott Pemberton inside a motel in Olongapo City. She was punched and strangulated before being drowned to death in the toilet after the US Marine discovered that Laude was a transgender. Six months later, Pemberton was found guilty of homicide. His sentence, however, was reduced to six to 10 years of imprisonment. Instead of being held in the state penitentiary, New Bilibid Prison, he is detained in a US-guarded camp at the Camp Aguinaldo.
