Our Story

Learn more about our journey and what we're fighting for.

The Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) is a collaborative, voluntary, and non-profit community of practice composed of dedicated representatives from LGBTQ+ employee resource groups and human resource or diversity teams of private firms in the Philippines.

We started with five companies from the banking and financial industry in October 2013 and now have over 80 members from across multiple industries. Our member organizations are some of the largest multinationals in the country, all of whom are proud equal opportunity employers and recognized employers of choice.
