This May, experience the splendor of Filipino tradition as The Runway Atelier proudly presents The Grand Santacruzan 2025, a celebration of faith and culture in the heart of Old Manila. On May 18, the historic streets of Intramuros will come alive with a grand procession of queens, angels, and biblical figures, honoring centuries of devotion and grace. Set against the iconic San Agustin Church and the Puerto Real Gardens, the event offers models and their families a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate beauty, faith and Filipino identity.
The Grand Santacruzan is more than a procession, it is a cultural movement that seeks to preserve tradition, empower the youth with values of faith and confidence, strengthen community bonds. Highlights include an assembly at Puerto Real Gardens, a Holy Mass and blessing at San Agustin Church, a vibrant walk through the cobbled streets of Intramuros, coronation rites and artistic performances.
This celebration is made possible by Kittly Manila, Tiny Pieces, HTP Manila, Enchantrail, Melissa Philippines, Marriott Vacation Club, Savoy Hotel Manila and Camaya Coast with Jelly Bunny Philippines, Nature Republic Philippines, Fjällräven Kånken Philippines, Oreo Philippines, Godox Philippines, IHG Hotels & Resorts Philippines, Elsa Fairy Dresses and BELA by Bela Manila.
