Valkyrie has changed some of their personnel and will be conducting a seminar so their staff is properly aware of the club’s entrance policy, transgender fashion designer Veejay Floresca told Coconuts Manila a day after she met with the management of the controversial BGC club.

Posting to Facebook, Floresca happily announced on Tuesday the results of her meeting with the club’s management.
According to her, the club allows guests who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender but they must “follow the appropriate dress code policy” which includes not wearing sandals or tank tops, among others.
