Artist Arvin Quirante is among Pinoys who helped create the first Filipino/Asian boat in the history of the canal Pride at the Amsterdam’s 24th Gay Pride week held recently.

It is inspired by the pre-colonial Filipino boat called Balangay which holds historical and cultural significance as the main transportation of Filipino ancestors. Balangay is also the etymology of Barangay, which refers to a small, closed-knit community.

The non-governmental organization Filipino LGBT Europe couldn’t be happier when their boat won third place in the Best Design category.“What a journey to get to this moment! We couldn’t be more proud of everyone and to hear that we won 3rd place for the Best Boat Design in #AmsterdamPride just tops it all!,” they wrote.

“And to all others who also gave their time to build the boat, Maraming maraming salamat po!” they ended the post. “With this comes best in production, costumes, boat design, theme on how you execute your boat which the Filipino LGBT Europe honored the Pre-Colonial Philippines with it’s costumes from four different regions from North to South, accompanied with modern songs and dance moves,” they added.
