Was the group in the German Vs. Barangan case discriminated?

Assumptions that a group will cause disruption is not justifiable argument to prevent them from exercising an inherent right of a Filipino stated in Article 3 Section 5 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which translates to “No law shall be made respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship, without discrimination or preference, shall forever be allowed.” In order to reduce the disparity between people of the Republic of the Philippines, the government should target prejudice and discrimination. If the court allows more people to be prohibited from entering public spaces because of their physical appearance, choice of fashion, religion, ethnicity and race, gender and sexual orientation, and social status with no actual evidence that a group will cause harm that would require law intervention, then Article 3 Section 1, which states that “no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws”, is being overlooked.
