‘Ang Pride ay Magpakailanman’ (Pride is Forever) is a community zine curated by queer and trans Filipinos in so-called Toronto, Canada. Created during playshops in January 2023, the zines explore the daily joy and healing that happens in our every day. 

These collages, weaved together, are a way to celebrate each other and the ways we foster care among our chosen families in past, present, and future generations.

Ingat palagi translates to Take care always. The front design reads "Ingatan natin ang Isa't Isa" meaning "let's take care of each other."

"The relaunch of Ingat Palagi by Pinay Collection and Makulay atbp reaffirms our fierce love for queer and trans kin. This new Ingat Palagi (take care always) tee is weaved with the colours of the trans flag. This merch launch highlights the tender love and community care queer and trans people foster among one another in our resistance against ongoing transphobia rooted in colonial and imperial violence.

The weaving pattern, or mga habi, calls us to remember the strong resistance of queer and trans people then and now.

As queer and trans Filipinos in the diaspora, we are privileged to be able to uplift, protect, and take care of ourselves and each other because of the revolutionary and liberatory work of those before us. We honour the babaylans who resisted the Spanish colonization and beyond, including queer and trans revolutionaries, healers and caretakers across nations and cultures who remain unnamed because of colonial erasure.

Today, the spirit of resistance against colonial and imperial violence is fiercely shepherded by queer and trans kababayans back home, as well as the Indigenous, Black and racialized queer liberation movement on Turtle Island and across the world.”
