The Australian and New Zealand Embassies will jointly host the ANZAC Day Dawn Service on Saturday, 25 April 2026, at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Libingan ng mga Bayani, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City. The service will commence at 5:30 AM.
The commemoration provides an important moment for solemn reflection on the Spirit of ANZAC—first demonstrated during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915 and now deeply woven into the history, identity, and shared heritage of both Australia and New Zealand. The service honours all Australians and New Zealanders who have given their lives in times of war and in the pursuit of peace.
Although the Dawn Service is traditionally attended by members of the Australian and New Zealand communities, all who wish to remember and pay their respects are welcome.
Any attendee who wishes to lay a wreath may do so. This is commonly undertaken by organisations with connections to Australia or New Zealand. People who wish to lay a wreath may be arranged from Royal Flower Shoppe (+63 917 816 5251; +63 917 632 7178).
Attendees are encouraged to wear medals. Personal medals are worn on the left breast and family members’ medals are worn on the right breast.
If you are attending the commemoration, please arrive by 5:15 AM to ensure a prompt start of the ceremony. A gunfire breakfast will be served immediately following the service.
