Pride PH and the Quezon City government co-organized the "Love Laban 2 Everyone" festival to celebrate the LGBTQ community.
The program ended early as heavy rain compromised the electrical and sound systems set up at the Quezon Memorial Circle.
"We are proud of our community, along with the many allies who have joined us because we have our good behavior and also our resolve," the organizers said in a joint statement.
"We will need more of this show of force and love letter to national leaders in the crucial six months as we will need the strength and support of everyone to push for the SOGIE Equality Bill and to attain our dream of having a society where there is love and equality," they added.
The festival started at 3:30 p.m. and ended at around 8 p.m.
