SABAY PARADE 2026

Our Vision - SABAY PARADE

From City March to Continental Movement

SABAY PARADE begins as a bold march through Metro Manila — but its ambition reaches far beyond city limits. Our vision is to grow SABAY into Asia’s most culturally resonant Pride celebration: a continental beacon of love, unity, and visibility.

While cities like Taipei have paved the way for large-scale LGBTQIA+ celebrations, the Philippines offers something uniquely powerful — a culture grounded in joy, community, and the spirit of sabay: to move forward, together.

By 2030, we imagine:

  • Millions marching — not only from Makati to BGC, but across bridges, islands, and generations
  • A week-long cultural celebration filled with art, music, policy forums, drag summits, healing spaces, and youth zones
  • Delegations and diasporas from across Southeast Asia and beyond joining in solidarity with the Philippines
  • Recognition of SABAY as both a grassroots movement and a national asset — driving tourism, advocacy, and cultural pride

The future of SABAY is regional and relational — rooted in the stories, struggles, and joy of a people who continue to rise, together.

Our Long-Term Goal

To make the Philippines not only the loudest, but the most loving center of Pride in Asia. A celebration defined not by imitation, but by heart — proudly Filipino, proudly together.

SABAY PARADE is a celebration shaped by community — not personalities. We believe the heart of the event belongs to the people walking, dancing, and creating side by side.

We choose not to center TV hosts, influencers, or celebrities. While many events hand over the stage to high-profile figures, SABAY holds space for everyone equally — no one above, no one below.

There are no headliners, no takeovers. Just shared movement, shared voice, shared happiness.

SABAY means moving together — not watching from the sidelines. One beat. One rhythm. One love.

This is more than a parade. It’s a bridge between voices, cities, and futures.

Come walk with us. Help shape a moment that belongs to all. Let’s move — sabay.
