TP Strengthens Diversity Commitments at 2025 Love Laban Pride Festival
As a global digital business services company, TP has long embedded inclusivity into its operations—not just during Pride Month, but year-round. This year’s nationwide engagement included fun runs, city-wide parades, and “Queertuhan” sessions—internal conversations aimed at elevating LGBTQIA+ voices within the workplace.
Nationwide Engagement from Luzon to Mindanao
TP employees showed up in full force throughout the country:
- TP Cebu and TP Davao joined local Pride parades
- TP Baguio, TP Bacolod, and TP Cagayan de Oro had delegations proudly marching under banners of unity
- The company recorded a total of 455 employees participating in Pride Marches nationwide
In Quezon City, the TP Pride Booth at the UP-Diliman grounds offered a safe and welcoming space with hydration stations, games, face painting, and a photo booth for attendees to rest and connect.
Inclusion Through Policy and Practice
TP’s support extends beyond visible events. Through programs like Queertuhan, the organization opens up spaces for reflection and dialogue on what belonging means in the workplace. These sessions are supported by policies that promote fairness, training modules that build understanding, and leadership that remains accountable to inclusive practices.
“We build inclusive environments not just by policy but through people. Every TP site that joined Pride this year reflects how we shape our workplace culture together,” shared Jeffrey Johnson, Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines.
