Instituto Cervantes collabs with Gay Pride 2025

Instituto Cervantes and the Embassy of Spain, current co-chair of the international Equal Rights Coalition (ERC), are thrilled to announce “Orgullo 2025,” an annual celebration of diversity, equality, inclusion, and LGBTIQ+rights.

“Orgullo 2025: Sé quien quieras ser (Pride 2025: Be who you want to be)” is scheduled to take place on Friday, June 27, 2025, 5:00 p.m onwards at Instituto Cervantes in Intramuros.

This year’s event promises to be the most vibrant and inclusive yet, bringing together community members, allies, and supporters from all ways of life. 

Highlights of the event will include an academic talk about language and inclusion, “¿Entiendes? Coloquio sobre inclusión y lenguaje,” by Prof. Jeff Roxas, linguist and professor from the University of the Philippines, Diliman; Prof. Daryl Pasion, an Assistant Professor at the Language Division of the Department of Humanities, University of the Philippines, Los Baños; and Prof. Lakan Umali, professor at the Department of English and Comparative Literature, University of the Philippines, Diliman. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.

After the discussion, there will be an “Open Mic Recital,” in which participants will be able to showcase their creativity, talent and spirit of the LGBTIQ+ community.

This event is open to everyone, but attendees and participants are encouraged to register early through this link: https://forms.office.com/e/et6CTa49TP
