The spirit of inclusivity, creativity, and active citizenship was in full display as JCI Philippines Metro Area officially launched the Walk With Pride campaign with a vibrant and meaningful celebration led by JCI Cainta under the leadership of 2025 LO President Nikki Ilagan on June 21, 2025 at the Ynares Sports Arena Open Grounds.
The event was spearheaded by Area Chairperson for Walk With Pride, AC Yuri Miranda, and co-hosted by JCI Antipolo Midtown, JCI Aseana, and JCI Makati. The activity, organized in partnership with the Department of Health, brought together JCI members, LGBTQIA+ advocates, and allies for a full-day showcase of unity, expression, and empowerment.
Backed by the Metro Area Board, the launch was supported by Area Vice President JM Moyaen, Area Secretary Jek Tadoy, AC for SDG Joven Bernados, and AC for JCI Week Adrian Araneta — a strong display of collaboration within the JCI Metro Area network.
Highlights included the Parade of Colors Pride March, interactive Kalye-Kulay booths, Zumba Sheesh dance sessions, inspiring messages from community leaders, empowering campaign videos, and a grand finale Pride in Motion concert that lit up the night with music, dance, and celebration.
The event successfully captured the core message of Walk With Pride — to embrace diversity, champion inclusion, and celebrate love in all its forms. It also marked another milestone in the JCI Metro Area’s continued Drive for Change, uplifting communities through impactful advocacy and youth leadership.
