Celebrating Filipino identity goes beyond looking back at history. It is about honoring the values,
creativity, and resilience that continue to shape the nation today. Our Independence Day serves as a
reminder of the freedom that allows us to express who we are as a people, whether through art,
tradition, or everyday life.
As the Philippines commemorates the 127th anniversary of its independence, the City of Firsts proudly
celebrates PARA KAY JUAN, a tribute to the pride, spirit, and creativity of the Filipino people. Through a vibrant lineup of activities, Araneta City puts our culture, identity, and homegrown talents in the spotlight.
The celebration kicks off on June 11 with POP QC: Produkto ni Juan bazaar at Farmers Plaza. Open until June 15 in partnership with the Quezon City Small Business and Cooperatives Development Office, the fair brings together local small businesses and entrepreneurs in one location to highlight their wonderful and unique products. To make the shopping experience at the bazaar more enjoyable, a live instrumental ensemble will perform on June 12.
At Gateway Mall 1, the Manila Bulletin Hatch Exhibit will run from June 12-20. The exhibit will
feature "HATCH 2025: EMERGENCE," a groundbreaking fusion of Filipino street art that breathes new life into HATCH, transforming the traditional act of egg painting into a dynamic and modern expression of urban creativity, as part of the broadsheet's 125th anniversary celebration.
At Ali Mall, Jollibee, its friends, and the staff of the renowned fast food chain will be having its JolliTown Mascot Parade on June 12.
Lastly, Araneta City's major highlight for Independence Day is the Kultural na Palabas, a showcase of
Filipino talents set on June 12 at the Quantum Skyview of Gateway Mall 2. The event will feature
performances by Pope St. John XXIII Parish Rondalla, Kwatro Gitara, University of the Philippines’
Tugtugang Musika Asyatika (UP TUGMA), and The Minstrels of St. La Salle from De La Salle University-Dasmarinas to celebrate the country’s cultural diversity.
“Celebrating our Araw ng Kalayaan means recognizing the important contributions of our forefathers to
our country. It’s also about championing Filipino excellence and giving space to the many ways we
express our identity,” Marjorie Go, Vice President for Marketing of Araneta City, said. “We’re proud to
be a platform where Pinoy pride can be seen, heard, and celebrated.”
