Local Youth Development Office - Sta. Cruz

Happy Birthday sa among pinalanggang Mayor, ang tinuod nga Amahan sa atong Munisipyo! 🎉

Sa imong espesyal nga adlaw, ang Local Youth Development Office (LYDO) nagpaabot sa among kinasingkasing nga pagtimbaya sa imong adlawng natawhan.

Daghang salamat sa imong matinud-anong pag-alagad ug walay hunong nga suporta sa atong mga kabatan-onan. Ang imong pagsalig ug pag-atiman naghatag kanamo og inspirasyon ug paglaum sa mas hayag nga kaugmaon.

Hinaot nga padayon kang panalanginan sa Ginoo og maayong panglawas, kusog, kaalam, ug dugay pang kinabuhi aron magpadayon sa paggiya sa atong lungsod uban sa kasingkasing nga puno sa gugma ug pag-alagad.

Daghang salamat sa imong pagpangga sa Sta. Cruz ug sa kabatan-onan, Mayor!

A celebration of creativity, confidence, and identity — the PRIDE Fashion Show was more than just a runway; it was a powerful statement of love, acceptance, and empowerment.

Every look, every design, and every step on the runway reflected the beauty of individuality and the courage to express one’s true self. This event became a platform where fashion became a voice — a reminder that everyone deserves to be seen, valued, and celebrated.

Huge appreciation to all our 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬, 𝐦𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐬, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 (𝐓𝐖𝐆) who brought this vision to life. Your passion, talent, dedication, and creativity made this celebration a meaningful showcase of diversity and self-expression.

Through fashion, we continue to uplift voices, break barriers, and create a safe and inclusive space where the LGBTQIA+ community can shine with pride. Fashion is not only about style; it is a powerful tool that tells stories, inspires change, and connects people from different walks of life.

To everyone who supported, participated, and celebrated with us — thank you for being part of this beautiful journey. Your presence helped amplify the message of equality, acceptance, and love.

May we continue to create spaces where every color, every identity, and every story is welcomed and celebrated. Together, let us keep empowering the LGBTQIA+ community through creativity, confidence, and the limitless expression of fashion.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to all our sponsors for being part of our Pride Month Celebration.

Your support went beyond sponsorship—it became a symbol of acceptance, inclusion, and solidarity with our LGBTQIA+ community. Because of your generosity, we were able to create moments of joy, connection, and pride that will be remembered for years to come.

Thank you for believing in our vision and for standing with us as we continue to celebrate love, diversity, and the freedom to be our authentic selves. We are truly grateful to have you as partners in this meaningful journey.

Happy Pride, and thank you for making this celebration possible! 🏳️‍🌈✨
