The event opened with remarks from Pride at Foundever Chairperson and VP for Operations Pat Haluag explaining how “Thrive with Pride,” the Pride month theme of Foundever, is more than just an adage.
For Foundever chairperson and VP for operations Pat Haluag, holding this event represents the company’s commitment to creating a safe space where everyone truly belongs. “It tells the story here at Foundever. We show up for one another, we lead with empathy and we believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated.”
The summit featured discussions from LGBTQIA+ leaders within the organization, each offering unique perspectives that help broaden understanding of community experiences.
The summit featured Jeff Cagandahan, co-founder and president of Intersex Philippines, who provided educational content about intersex experiences, a topic often misunderstood or overlooked in diversity conversations, including within the LGBTQIA+ community. Visibility matters in this push for inclusion, said Cagandahan.
