PASIG, Metro Manila, Philippines – June 7, 2025 – Humanist PH today announced a significant milestone in its advocacy for reason, compassion, and human rights in the Philippines: its official recognition as an affiliate of Atheist Alliance International (AAI). This affiliation marks a pivotal moment for the organization, solidifying its place within a global network dedicated to promoting secularism, critical thinking, and humanistic values worldwide.

"We are now officially part of something bigger," exclaimed a spokesperson for Humanist PH. "This milestone strengthens our advocacy for reason, compassion, and human rights in the Philippines."

Atheist Alliance International is a leading global organization that champions scientific naturalism, secularism, and human rights. Its network of affiliates spans continents, working to foster a world where public policy is based on sound reasoning, ethics, and compassion, independent of religious dogma.

The affiliation with AAI provides Humanist PH with enhanced opportunities for collaboration, resource sharing, and amplified advocacy on both national and international fronts. It underscores the growing presence and impact of humanist and secular movements within the Philippines.

Humanist PH, along with its member groups, the Philippine Pastafarian Church and Secular Filipinos for Better Governance, is committed to building a more rational and inclusive future for the Philippines. This alliance with AAI is expected to significantly bolster their efforts in promoting evidence-based policies, protecting the rights of non-believers, and fostering a society grounded in empathy and critical inquiry.

The Philippine Pastafarian Church, known for its satirical yet poignant critique of religious privilege, and Secular Filipinos for Better Governance, focused on advocating for good governance free from religious interference, represent the diverse and dynamic nature of the secular movement in the Philippines.

This new affiliation is a testament to the dedication and growth of Humanist PH and its member organizations. It signifies a powerful step towards greater recognition and support for secular and humanist perspectives in the Philippines.
