HIRAYA : Realizing our Hopes, Dreams, and Aspirations for the LGBTQ+ Advocacy
The Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride Summit is PFIP's way of continuing the goal of gathering people, focusing on the growth and development of the LGBTQ+ community in all aspects of the Filipino society. This year's summit is the fifth annual celebration, and we are centering on #HIRAYA -- our hopes, dreams and aspirations towards celebrating LGBTQ+ empowerment, promoting safe spaces and self-authenticity.
With stories and insights from prominent speakers, as well as practical tools and life skills from expert panelists, working together towards #HIRAYA is a common goal we can all achieve for the present and future generations of LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.
PFIP, a key supporter of diversity, equity and inclusion for Filipino LGBTQ+ individuals in collaboration with the various sectors of society, aspires for unison, in supporting and celebrating the full spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community.
** The PFIP Pride Summit, the biggest and only LGBTQ+ conference of its kind to be held in the Philippines**
