Executive Summary

  • On June 26 and 27, 2026, three separate Pride Month celebrations will be held in Manila and Quezon cities. Of the three events, LoveL4ban Pride PH Festival is estimated to be the biggest event, expecting around 300,000 attendees. The event will be held at the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman in Quezon City starting 10:00AM on June 27.
  • Local security forces, such as the Quezon City and Manila Police Districts, have not identified any potential threats directed at events as of the moment. PSA Intelligence also notes that no anti-LGBTQ+ groups have publicly disclosed plans to attend the event. Analysts note that in the past, small anti-LGBTQ+ groups have conducted counter-protests in front of Pride March events, but these activities have not led to an escalation of violence or caused major disturbances to the event.
  • Major road closures and traffic disruptions are expected to be heaviest on June 27, in the vicinity of Commonwealth - UP Diliman - Quezon City Memorial Circle areas. Motorists and commuters are advised to look for alternative routes when possible, and to leave for their destinations 1 to 2 hours earlier than usually scheduled.
