MANILA, Philippines — It’s coming! Historically hailed as the Philippines’ biggest and most iconic pride celebration, White Party Manila, makes its most-anticipated comeback in time for Pride Month.
Slated for a groundbreaking return on June 27 at the World Trade Center Manila, this announcement also comes an introduction to a roster of ambassadors led by the Philippines beloved LGBTQ+ icon and multimedia superstar Vice Ganda.
This year’s White Party Manila is a collaboration project between LoveYourSelf and Mentorque Productions, with a portion of the event proceeds will support HIV Awareness programs, testing, and care because Pride is not only celebrated, it is protected.

Long known as the ultimate symbol of freedom, unity, and love, this momentous return brings in a powerful new era for the LGBTQIA+ community and its allier, marking a night where everyone is welcome, and all are equal, in white.
This 2026 edition set to be bigger, bolder and brighter than ever as Mentorque brings together exciting performances from LGBTQ icons and allies, surprise celebrity appearances, and DJs uniting as one.
“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,” shared by Vice Ganda about its comeback in a press statement.
“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,” the MMFF 2025 Best Actor added.
