For the Big Celebrators
This year, Pride PH brings the march to UP Diliman. With hosts such as Miss Universe Philippines 2023 Michelle Dee and ALAMAT Jao, performances by P-pop groups G22, VXON, and ALAMAT, and drag performances by Marina Summers and more, the “Love Laban” is set to be a show-stopping celebration. Gather your queer friends and celebrate your identities together!
For the Chill Queers
If you’re not fond of big crowds, Metro Manila Pride is hosting “Pride Piknik” at Rizal Park in Manila. Enjoy laid-back performances while you lounge on picnic blankets, share food, and spend time with loved ones—furbabies welcome.
For the Supportive Parents
Whether you’re a parent, godparent, or guardian, every queer child deserves support. Luckily, PANTAY organized Pinoy Parenting with Pride—a 2-part online workshop that guides families in supporting a queer child. From coming out moments to nurturing family well-being, this workshop is sure to be an eye-opening experience.
For the Drag Enthusiasts
Lip sync performances, glamorous dresses, snatched beauty looks—what’s not to love about drag? Now on its third run, The Playhouse brings its biggest “Popup, Ate” yet, featuring 15 drag queens. Be sure to wear white!
