Metro Manila Pride

Metro Manila Pride has been held since 1994, making it one of the oldest pride events in Southeast Asia. The June parade through Marikina City draws tens of thousands, and the Philippines' strong LGBTQ+ cultural presence — deeply embedded in art, entertainment, and fashion — gives the event an outsize creative energy. The legal fight for same-sex marriage recognition is ongoing, making each march a political statement as well as a celebration.
