Honoring Champions of LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion in the Philippines
HONORING CHAMPIONS OF LGBTQ+ WORKPLACE INCLUSION IN THE PHILIPPINES
The PFIP Bahaghari Awards is the flagship recognition program of the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) that honors individuals, employee networks, organizations, and community advocates that exemplify leadership in advancing LGBTQ+ inclusion in the workplace and beyond.

Launched in 2022 as a milestone celebration of PFIP’s 9th Anniversary, the Bahaghari Awards has grown into a prestigious platform that elevates best practices, amplifies underrepresented voices, and sets the benchmark for LGBTQ+ diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) across Philippine industries.

A BRIEF HISTORY
Inaugurated during PFIP’s 9th Anniversary Gala in 2022, the Bahaghari Awards marked the first formal recognition of corporate LGBTQ+ inclusion efforts in the country. What started with a few trailblazing categories has since expanded in scale and influence, with new awards introduced to reflect the evolving DEIB landscape.

In just three years, the Bahaghari Awards has become a platform that celebrates not just corporate excellence but also public leadership, community activism, and allyship - connecting the business sector with the broader movement for SOGIESC equality.
