Sassa Gurl stopped supporting Heidi Mendoza in the Philippines

Content creator Sassa Gurl has withdrawn her support for senatorial candidate Heidi Mendoza. This follows Mendoza's public stance against same-sex marriage, expressed during a recent political debate. Sassa Gurl is a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Sassa Gurl's decision was announced on April 8 via social media, citing her respect for Mendoza's position while disagreeing with it. Mendoza responded, expressing thanks. This reverses Sassa Gurl's prior support declared in March, which was based on Mendoza's work against corruption. Mendoza clarified her views on social media after the debate, affirming respect for the LGBTQ+ community. She stated her focus on improving the system rather than simple declarations. Mendoza is running in the upcoming elections alongside other candidates.
