It was a night of celebration, reunion, entertainment, and recognition as hundreds of guests from the private and public sectors, LGBT+ community and LoveYourself volunteers gathered for the second Love Gala: Courage Amplified–Asia’s premier charity and awards event at ABS-CBN Vertis Tent.

It was a fitting time to honour the lives affected by HIV/AIDS as the gala coincided with the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial Ceremony. In her video speech, Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and LoveYourself ambassador encouraged everyone to, “keep the torches (of passion and service) burning bright.”

Another highlight of the evening was the participation of Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2015 and UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador for Asia and the Pacific, who formally launched LoveYourself’s latest campaign, U=U (Undetectable=Unstransmittable).

Concert king Martin Nievera and Love Gala ambassador Pia Wurtzbach serenaded the crowd. A star-studded cast of presenters and performers made the night even more remarkable.
