QC Memorial Circle: Umbrellas of Pride

Workers adorned the park with a stunning display of colorful umbrellas, transforming the area into a festive space fit for celebration and reflection. As the sun set, the lights installed along the installations added a magical glow, lighting up not just the park but everyone’s spirits too.

Capturing Love and Community: Self-Photo Sessions
What’s Pride without a few fierce photos and precious memories? On June 14, families, barkadas, and chosen families flocked to local QC studios to immortalize their Pride looks and laughter. CLIAKE Self Photo Studio’s snapshot from that day perfectly sums up the mood: “Just a fam bam goals.” These moments of togetherness and affirmation show that Pride isn’t just for one, but for all.

Beyond Decor: The Power of Visibility
These celebrations go beyond surface-level decoration. Every umbrella, every candid photo, and every shared smile is a protest, a celebration, and a loving shoutout to all who need to know: “You belong.” As we honor Pride Month, we’re reminded of our collective journey, one marked by courage, solidarity, and an unwavering belief in our worth. Doc’s orders: cherish these spaces, protect one another, and keep showing up, mas makulay, mas maingay, mas buong-buo!
