Bahaghari Awards
In the pursuit of equality and inclusion, the workplace has become a powerful arena for change.
The Philippine Financial and Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) proudly champions this movement through the Philippine Bahaghari Awards, an annual celebration of individuals and organizations that pave the way for LGBTQ+ inclusion in the corporate world.
