The Pride Month Program, organized by the College&#8217;s Gender and Development Unit, was a culmination of various activities involving the institution&#8217;s stakeholders. The program began with a powerful opening message delivered by the Vice President for Administration and Finance, Reynaldo Gayyo, who emphasized the importance of the celebration. Gayyo stated, &#8220;The celebration stands as a testament to the unwavering spirit and collective determination that has propelled us forward in the ongoing fight for equality and justice.&#8221; This remark set the tone for the event, highlighting the significance of the celebration in promoting gender equality and reducing inequality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Representing College President Dr. Edgar G. Cue, the Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Mark Preston S. Lopez, took the stage to express his admiration for the LGBTQ+ individuals within the institution. He commended, &#8220;I am more than proud of you all for having the courage to embrace your true selves instead of living in misery, trying to please society.&#8221; This laudatory speech underscored the bravery and authenticity of the LGBTQ+ community at MPSPC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event featured a variety of activities, including the search for MPSPC Bahaghari, the Arch Competition, and a poignant candle lighting ceremony dedicated to honoring the LGBTQ+ employees and students who have passed away.
