Once regarded as one of the Philippines’ largest and most iconic Pride celebrations, White Party Manila returns on June 27 at the World Trade Center Manila, headlined by LGBTQ+ icon and “Unkabogable Superstar” Vice Ganda.
This year’s event is a joint initiative between LoveYourSelf and Mentorque Productions. Part of the proceeds will support HIV awareness, testing, care, and related programs, emphasizing the message that Pride is not only a celebration, but also a commitment to health, safety, and community support.
Long seen as a powerful expression of freedom, unity, and love, White Party Manila: REIGNITE opens a new era for the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. The event invites everyone into a shared space where all are welcome and equal in white. The 2026 comeback promises a bigger, more vibrant celebration, bringing together live performances from LGBTQ+ icons and allies, surprise guest appearances, and DJ sets throughout the night.
“I’m so excited for the party. White Party was really the party 10 years ago. It was the most unkabogable celebration for the LGBTQIA+ community at that time,” Vice Ganda shared.
“Celebrating with everyone in white, seeing that sea of beautiful individuals, solid and united for a specific goal, is such a powerful experience. Converging together, meeting new friends, seeing everyone I haven’t seen in the longest time—‘yun talaga yung inaabangan ko,” he added.
“Vice Ganda is the perfect person to represent everything White Party Manila stands for: authenticity, courage, and joy,” said the Mentorque team. “Having Vice as the face of this year’s comeback makes it even more meaningful as we reignite Pride through celebration, community, and purpose while delivering a Pride night to remember.”
The lineup brings together well-known LGBTQIA+ personalities including John Sweet Lapus, KaladKaren, Ice Seguerra, Liza Diño, Joey Mead-King, Angie King, Andoy Ranay, Alex Diaz, Klea Pineda, and Mimiyuuuh. Allies such as Janella Salvador and Chie Filomeno, alongside LoveYourSelf ambassadors and volunteers including Joy Barcoma and Hannah Arnold, will also join the celebration.
Performances are set from Ben&Ben, Maki, Marina Summers, and Gloc-9, while fashion designer Bang Pineda will debut the White Party Manila Collection.
Tickets are available through Ticket2Me.net, the official ticketing partner of White Party Manila. A portion of ticket sales will go toward LoveYourSelf’s HIV awareness, testing, care, and research efforts.
