Despite heavy rains, Xhin Tax Error, Kennyngina, Keisha, and other drag performers take the stage at Liwasang Bonifacio in solidarity with the Pride Month protest.
Their performances, alongside speeches from advocates and community leaders, amplify calls for the immediate passage of the SOGIESC Equality Bill, accessible social services, quality education, and decent housing — underscoring that Pride remains a protest against discrimination and injustice.
“Social services, not intimidation,” declared Chuchu Catagora, a resident of Agora Compound in Marikina, who stressed that demanding housing and organizing communities are not crimes.
