In a powerful moment during Quezon City’s Pride Month celebration, comedian and LGBTQIA+ icon Vice Ganda delivered a heartfelt message on privilege, equality, and collective responsibility.
“Hindi porket matanda ka na at may pera ka na ay iiwanan mo yung mga tulad mo na hindi nakakakuha ng pribilehiyong nakukuha mo,” Vice said. “Dahil ang pribilehiyo ngayon ay hindi dapat maging pribilehiyo mo lang—dapat maging karapatan ’yan ng bawat isa.”
The Unkabogable Star reminded attendees that true progress means lifting others up and ensuring that the rights and freedoms enjoyed by a few are extended to all. Ending the speech with a resounding declaration—“I support all forms of love”—Vice reaffirmed a message of unity and pride for a community still pushing for equal recognition and respect.
The crowd responded with cheers, applause, and rainbow flags waving in solidarity, making it one of the most resonant highlights of this year’s Pride celebration.
