Pioneer FTM

Are you thinking or planning to change your first name? Any Filipino citizen can do that under existing legal frameworks.

In celebration of Pioneer FTM’s anniversary, we are bringing you a learning session on pathways to legally changing one's first name as one of our legal-related educational sessions.

The session is designed to cover legal bases, eligibility and requirements, the application process, and practical considerations for Filipinos seeking to access public services related to changing first-name procedures.

🎨🏳️‍⚧️ Makilahok sa usapan at sining para sa karapatang makilala.

This Pride Month, join us for TalaKarapatan: Matuto, Lumikha, at Isulong ang Legal Gender Recognition 🌈

Through a discussion and printmaking workshop, we'll learn more about Legal Gender Recognition, the identities and experiences of transgender, intersex, and gender non-conforming persons in the Philippines, and the rights and protections available under current legal frameworks. Together, let's reflect, create, and imagine a future where everyone can live authentically and be recognized for who we are. ✨

Tingnan niyo si JR, mula sa nahihiya bumili ng napkin to nakakapogi na 😎

From dati na naiilang pag-usapan ang regla to ngayon na kinikilig pa kapag yung girlfriend niya ang naglalagay ng napkin sa underwear niya 😆 Love language na pala ‘yon ngayon!

Pero totoo rin na ang ganitong conversations help break the stigma around menstruation. Kapag mas open tayong mag-usap tungkol dito, mas nawawala yung hiya, awkwardness, at toxic ideas na nakakabit sa regla.🩸💬

JOIN US!! 😊

📅 Date: June 14, 2026

⏰ Time: 3:00 PM – 6:30 PM

✨ Whether you’re an athlete, ally, or advocate—your voice matters.

💬 Be part of the conversation. Be part of the change.

Tagal nawala nila Regie kaya syempre, may pa-welcome back inuman ang barkada 🍻

Nakakatuwang makita kung gaano kalaki ang pinagbago ng usapan nila tungkol sa regla. Dati, tahimik at nahihiya pang pag-usapan. Ngayon, casual na lang at nagtatanungan pa kung anong gamit nilang napkin 😆

Kasi ang regla, normal na usapin lang naman. Hindi nakakabawas ng pagkalalaki, at walang dapat ikahiya sa pag-uusap tungkol sa menstrual health.

Kayo ba, ano’ng funniest o pinaka-random na usapang regla ninyo with friends? 👀

May niluluto kami! 👀🌈

Excited kaming i-share ang aming collab with UP Open University para sa isang upcoming Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on creating q***r and trans-affirmative spaces. ✨

Isa itong mahalagang hakbang para mas mapalawak ang usapan tungkol sa transgender, non-binary, o gender non-confirming persons sa akademya at para masigurong ang mga kaalamang ito ay hindi lang para sa iilan, kundi mas maging accessible sa mas maraming tao.

Stay tuned! 💖🏳️‍⚧️📚

Malinaw pa sa 20/20 vision: KITA-KITA TAYO NGAYONG PRIDE! 👁️🏳️‍🌈

Madalas invisibilized ang mga isyu ng LGBTQIA+ community, kaya ngayong buwan (at sa lahat ng buwan na darating), hindi na tayo magpapakabulag-bulagan. This is our space to be LOUD, PROUD, and unapologetic!

Kaya kita ki-TA, nakikita namin ang giting at laban mo. Hindi ka nag-iisa. At kita-kita, sa lansangan, sa Pride March ngayong June 27, at sabay-sabay tayong lumaban para sa ating karapatan.

Kasama mo kami ngayon, bukas, at sa araw-araw. Happy Pride Month mula sa Pioneer FTM! 🌈✨

Isa ang mga LBQT persons deprived of liberty (PDLs) sa mga kababayan nating madalas nananatiling hindi nakikita at hindi naririnig–madalas silang naiisantabi sa mga espasyo ng pagbabahaginan ng karanasan at sa mga patuloy na diskurso hinggil sa karapatang pantao, sekswalidad, gender identity, at kalusugan. Gayunman, sila rin ay kabilang sa mga komunidad na may matinding pangangailangan para sa ligtas, bukas, at makataong espasyo kung saan maaari nilang maibahagi ang kanilang lived realities, kasama ang usaping menstruation sa konteksto ng mga limitasyon sa kanilang galaw, access, at diskarte sa loob ng pasilidad.

Noong ika-16 ng Mayo, bilang paggunita sa International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), isinagawa namin ang “Cycles of Care: A Menstrual Health and Dignity Activity” sa Correctional Institution for Women (CIW). Kasama ang ating mga kapatid na LBQT PDLs, tinalakay sa aktibidad ang mga usapin ng power relations, mga konsepto ng kasarian, sekswalidad, gender identity at expression, at karapatang pantao–at kung paano magkakaugnay ang mga ito sa pagpapalawak ng pag-unawa at pagbubukas ng usapan tungkol sa menstrual health.

Bilang karagdagang paraan ng pagpapahayag, nagsagawa rin ng writing at storytelling workshops, pati na rin creative movement workshop, upang mabigyan sila ng iba’t ibang daluyan para maipahayag ang kanilang sarili, karanasan, at pananaw.

Lubos ang aming pasasalamat sa pamunuan ng Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) sa kanilang mainit na pagtanggap at sa pagiging bukas sa pakikipagkolaborasyon sa Pioneer FTM. Taos-puso ring pasasalamat kina Aella Potestades at Sabrina Gacad ng Lunas Collective, Alexis Guevara, at Mitzi Ancog sa kanilang pagbabahagi ng oras at kaalaman para sa ating mga kapatid na LBQT PDLs. Malakasang pasasalamat rin kina Alex Dantes at Dette Bautista na nag volunteer at sinamahan kami sa pagsasagawa ng aktibidad.

Hindi nagtatapos dito ang ugnayan ng Pioneer FTM at CIW, ito ay simula pa lamang ng patuloy at mas malalim na kolaborasyon tungo sa inklusibong adbokasiya.

In celebration of Menstrual Health Day 2026, Pioneer FTM once again conducted a Training on the Foundations of Person-Centered OBGYN Care Service Provision for healthcare providers.

Through this training, we aimed to equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge, skills, and critical sensitivities needed to better support trans and gender-diverse individuals in accessing menstrual, sexual, and reproductive healthcare services.

Medical health professionals play a key role in shaping affirming and respectful healthcare experiences. We are grateful to work alongside partners in care who are committed to building safer, more inclusive, and trans-affirming healthcare environments. We hope that the insights and learnings from this training will extend beyond the session and be meaningfully integrated into their everyday clinical practice and patient interactions.

Together, we continue to work towards a more inclusive healthcare landscape–one where every person, regardless of gender identity, is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.
