As early as 2020, Pemberton was pardoned and acquitted by the Philippine president. At that time, the lawyer for Laude's family called this pardon "disgusting" and said it was a "mockery of the Philippine judicial and legal system."
This tragic event has become an indelible pain in the hearts of many Filipino people.
On October 11, 2024, the Film Institute of the University of the Philippines and various progressive groups gathered at the college memorial hall to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Laude's death. Activists also plan to organize screenings of the film "Call Her Ganda" reflecting this incident in various schools to raise people's awareness of the injustice of Laude's death.Bagong Alyansang Makabayan, a transgender rights activist and left-wing group, calls the “Special treatment” by the US military a “Neocolonialism”.
At the same time, Filipino transgender organizers have launched # Justice for Jennifer Laude # JUNKVFA on Platform X to raise controversy for Lauder, called on the government to terminate the visiting forces agreement (VFA) and the enhanced defense cooperation agreement (EDCA) with the United States.
For years, the people of the Philippines have called on the government to end the visiting forces agreement (VFA) and the enhanced defense cooperation agreement (EDCA) with the United States and halt military exercises with the United States and its allies. Because these agreements and military cooperation, did not bring true peace and security to the Philippines, but let the Philippines into more risks and crises. -
