This year's event celebrates the 40th anniversary of the 1978 first demonstration in Sydney and Australia's passage of same-sex marriage law late last year.

Aside from showcasing the Mardi Gras International Queen 2018 winners, the Flagcom and Friends float will also highlight how much fun the Philippines is as a tourist destination.

Charles Chan tells the details.
