					<p>The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of awareness and effect of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Expression (SOGIE) Bill on the respondents' experiences, specifically in terms of Discrimination, Emotional Distress, Social Isolation, and Low Self-esteem. The study aims to determine the level of awareness and effect of the SOGIE Bill on the respondents' experiences, as well as to identify the factors that influence the level of awareness and effect. The statistical tool used in this research is the regression analysis to analyze the relationship between the level of respondents' awareness and the effect level of SOGIE Bill, particularly in sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression, on the one hand, and the levels of discrimination observed, emotional distress, social isolation, and low self-esteem on the other hand. The finding reveals that the respondents have low awareness of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression. The respondents have experienced high levels of discrimination in terms of education, health services, and employment and high levels of emotional distress, social isolation, and lower self-esteem due to the SOGIE Bill. On the test on respondents’ awareness and effect level of SOGIE Bill, the results show a significant effect between awareness of SOGIE Bill and effects level of SOGIE Bill, with sexual orientation and gender identity having a significant impact on emotional distress and social isolation and the gender expression has a significant impact on emotional distress and social isolation. Lastly, on the test on respondents’ discrimination observed to the effect level of SOGIE Bill, the results show a significant effect between discrimination observed and effects level of SOGIE Bill, with educational Institution and employment having a significant effect on emotional distress, social isolation, and lower self-esteem and the health services and community have a significant effect on emotional distress and social isolation. The study concludes that the SOGIE Bill has a significant effect on the respondents' experiences, particularly in terms of emotional distress, social isolation, and low self-esteem. The study also found significant effect on the respondent discrimination observed effect and level of SOGIE Bill. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that education and awareness programs be implemented to increase awareness about the SOGIE Bill and its implications. The policies and programs should be implemented to address discrimination and promote inclusivity and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, it is recommended that further research be conducted to explore the long-term effects of the SOGIE Bill on individuals and to identify potential areas for improvement.</p>
