"While Pride Month may have officially ended, the values it represents-love, respect, equality, and acceptance-should continue to guide our communities every day of the year," said Villar Foundation Managing Director and former senator Cynthia Villar.
The Las Piñas Pride Celebration 2026 served as a reminder that a stronger and more compassionate city is built when every person is valued, respected, and given the opportunity to thrive. It reflected Las Piñas' vision of a community where diversity is embraced as a source of strength and where everyone has the freedom to live with pride.
