THE Philippine Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) Hate Crime Watch said Mindanao is the deadliest place for lesbians, as half of the hate crimes against them since 1996 happened there.

By June this year, 28 LGBT Filipinos were killed compared to 29 murdered in 2010. The LGBT Hate Crime Watch research records 103 hate crimes that resulted in death since 1996.
