Award-winning Filipino film and media production company Mentorque Productions, alongside renowned HIV advocacy group LoveYourself Inc., organized the highly anticipated comeback of White Party Manila. With this year’s title and theme, “White Party Manila Reignite,” the two organizations centered the celebration of the LGBTQIA+ around the collective well-being, sexual health education, and empowerment of the voices of the unique stories each member of the community holds.
Held at the World Trade Center Manila in Pasay City last June 27th, 2026, the White Party Manila Reignite highlighted a star-studded lineup of performances, a stunning mini runway show, the awarding of deserving and notable people who helped the community be even more heard and accepted, and of course, what’s a Pride celebration without deep and meaningful speeches protesting for equal rights and visibility.
With the performances of Filipino indie folk-pop band Ben&Ben, singer-songwriter Maki, the stunning drag icon Marina Summers, the OG Filipino girl group loved by many generations, the Sexbomb Girls, and one of the best Filipino rappers of all time, Gloc-9, the night was made even more exciting and meaningful as they performed their best pieces that best represent the LGBTQIA+ community.
Celebrity Star Ambassadors, well-known influencers, and iconic runway models also graced us with their flair and beauty during a breathtaking and steamy runway show showcasing white elegance, daring, and alluring outfits—From the unkabogable Vice Ganda, Janella Salvador, Mimiyuuuh, Teejay Marquez, Chie Filomeno, Kelvin Miranda, KaladKaren/Jervy Wrightson, to Mister International 2025, Kirk Bondad, to name a few.
The night was finished by a glamorous set of performances by Drag Royalty artists such as Precious Paula Nicole, Corazon, Maxie, The BACOLOD Drag Association, The BAGUIO Drag Queens, The CEBU Divettes, The DAVAO Drag Queens, and The O-DIVAS.
But of course, the event won’t be finished without something meaningful. The unkabogable star, Vice Ganda, helped with the turnover of the event’s donation of 700,000 Pesos, which will be given to LoveYourself Inc. But that’s not all, the lead organizer, Mentorque Productions, announced that an additional 300,000 Pesos will be added to seal it off to a staggering 1 Million Pesos. More than just a celebration, the proceeds from the ticket sales will help LoveYourself Inc. for its future nationwide programs for free HIV Testing, counseling, treatment, and community care.
