Capping off Pride Month, Open Access BPO Makati hosted #UnitedByLove: The Open Access BPO Pride Party 2024 at the Enderun Tent in Taguig City on June 28th.
Setting the celebratory mood, Collie Herb, a familiar face at Open Access BPO’s Manila events in recent years, kicked off the party with a reggae set of steady grooves and upbeat, swinging numbers.

The program continued with the much-anticipated showcase of entries from the PrideFlix video contest. Participants submitted videos celebrating LGBTQIA+ stories. The winners were awarded with plaques and cash prizes.
Pinoy music icon, Rivermaya, then graced the stage, serenading everyone with their greatest hits, including “Elesi,” “214,” “Kisapmata,” and “You’ll Be Safe Here.”
But the music didn’t stop there as Collie Herb returned for more reggae tunes.
Open Access BPO’s resident drag artist, Honey Bravo, also showed up for a drag performance. As the night went on, our teammates DJ Siddfrey and Gerald blasted some party music to keep the Pride energy going.
The night was a colorful celebration of love, acceptance, and self-expression. With a renewed sense of community and purpose, attendees carried the spirit of Pride forward.
