PARADE. PROGRAM. PAGEANT. PARTY!

Manila Pride March, which will happen in Malate on 6 December 2008, Saturday, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM. On-site registration and assembly is from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM at the Remedios Circle or you can pre-register your participation online at  MANILA PRIDE.

 

This year’s Pride March pays tribute to: our rights, our lives, our loves, our selves. Thus, we envision the 2008 Manila Pride March to be the most visually spectacular to date. We encourage you to put on your best fairytale and fantasy costume, design your float accordingly and help transform the streets of Malate into a bursting display of rainbow colors and pride. The March is open to all human rights - and equal rights - believing individuals regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Pride March is known for its overwhelming attendance. It attracts thousands of participants and generates extensive local and international media attention.

This year’s Pride March is particularly significant as it marks TFP’s 10th year, coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR60) and the launch in Manila of the Yogyakarta Principles,  an international declaration which affirms sexual orientation and gender identity and expression as fundamental human rights.

Miss Queen Philippines is a beauty and competition for Filipino transgender women. It is a venue where they can showcase and celebrate their uniqueness. The pageant is a big part of Pride day!
