Pride March 2022 Theme
This year, the Metro Manila Pride not only continues to call for equality for the community but the protection and importance of history. Hence, this year’s theme is “#AtinAngKulayaan! Makibeki Ngayon, Bawiin ang Panahon!”
In their statement, the group said that as people in power try to change history to suit their image, they join the nation in fighting for the country’s future despite the odds.
“Pilit man nila tayong patahimikin at pilit man nilang burahin ang ating kasaysayan, patuloy tayong mananaig at magwawagi. Papalayain natin ang ating mga kulay.“
