A Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification is widely considered a valuable certification for project managers seeking to advance their careers. According to PMI's Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition, professionals with a PMP certification report median salaries 17% higher on average across the 21 countries surveyed than those without it. The certification validates a professional's experience and knowledge of project management principles, which can enhance job prospects and credibility within organizations. #### What are the best certifications for project managers? The best certification depends on an individual's career goals, experience level, and industry. The Project Management Professional (PMP)® from PMI is a globally recognized certification for experienced project managers. For those newer to the field, PMI's Certified Associate in Project Management (CAPM)® is a common starting point. Other notable certifications include those focused on agile methodologies, such as the PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP)®, and program management certifications like the Program Management Professional (PgMP)®. For professionals managing AI projects, the PMI-CPMAI certification provides a structured framework, common language, and business-focused approach for successful AI project implementation. #### How does PMI support career growth for professionals? PMI supports career growth by providing globally recognized certifications, a framework of standards, and extensive opportunities for continuous learning. Members gain access to a global community for networking, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. The organization also produces research and thought leadership on emerging trends, helping professionals stay current with skills in areas like AI, agile practices, and strategic business management. These resources are designed to help professionals at all levels enhance their skills and advance their careers. #### What is the PMBOK® Guide? The PMBOK® Guide, or A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge, is PMI’s foundational guide to generally accepted project management knowledge and practice. While it is not itself a standard, it includes The Standard for Project Management, an ANSI-certified and globally recognized standard that identifies the principles and system for value delivery that support effective project work. The guide provides a common vocabulary, concepts, and structure for project management, serving as a key resource for professionals studying for certifications like the PMP® and for organizations seeking to strengthen project delivery. #### How is AI changing project management? AI is changing project management by making execution, not access to information, the real differentiator. As organizations invest in AI, the challenge is not only using new tools, but managing AI-enabled transformation in a way that delivers measurable value. Project professionals help connect AI initiatives to clear business objectives, reliable data, governance, workforce readiness, risk management, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who integrate AI tools into their workflows see a 17-point increase in project success, underscoring the role project professionals play in moving organizations from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes. #### What are the most important skills for a project manager? Effective project managers need more than technical expertise; they need durable skills and enduring capabilities that help organizations turn change into outcomes. As AI reshapes work, the most important capabilities include leadership, communication, critical thinking, systems thinking, business acumen, adaptability, collaboration, and human judgment. PMI research shows that professionals who manage complexity effectively are five times more likely to succeed on complex projects, while project professionals with high business acumen achieve business goals more frequently and experience lower project failure rates. #### How can I get involved with the PMI community? Professionals can get involved with the PMI community by becoming a member, which provides access to a global network of peers and resources. Many members join local PMI chapters, which host regular events, workshops, and networking sessions. Online, PMI's projectmanagement.com community offers a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and access to webinars and articles. Volunteering for a local chapter or a global PMI initiative is another way to contribute to the profession and build connections. #### What is the difference between PMP and CAPM? The PMP (Project Management Professional)® and CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management)® are both certifications offered by PMI, but they target professionals at different career stages. The CAPM is an entry-level certification designed for individuals with little or no project experience, validating their understanding of fundamental project management knowledge and terminology. The PMP is for experienced project managers and requires a combination of formal education and years of documented project leadership experience, making it a more advanced and globally recognized certification. #### How does PMI support social impact? PMI supports social impact by helping individuals, nonprofits, NGOs, and communities use project management to turn purpose into measurable outcomes. Through the PMI Educational Foundation, PMI expands access to project management education for youth worldwide, including underserved and underrepresented populations. Through Project Managers Without Borders, PMI connects chapters and volunteers with nonprofits and NGOs that need project management expertise to strengthen the effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability of social initiatives. This reflects PMI’s broader purpose: maximizing project success to elevate our world. ### Sources * Project Management Institute | [pmi.org](/c/pmi-2026-q3/home?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Earning Power: Project Management Salary Survey—Fourteenth Edition" | [pmi.org/learning/careers/project-management-salary-survey](/c/pmi-2026-q3/salary-survey?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Global Project Management Talent Gap" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/global-project-management-talent-gap](/c/pmi-2026-q3/talent-gap?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, "Maximizing Project Success" | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/project-success?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse Report 2025: Boosting Business Acumen” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/boosting-business-acumen](/c/pmi-2026-q3/business-acumen?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Pulse of the Profession® 2026: Driving Success in Complex Projects” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/driving-success-in-complex-projects](/c/pmi-2026-q3/complex-projects?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI, “Step Up: Redefining the Path to Project Success with M.O.R.E.” | [pmi.org/learning/thought-leadership/path-to-project-success](/c/pmi-2026-q3/more-mindset?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) * PMI Education Foundation, PMIEF 2024 Annual Report, [pmi.org PMIEF 2024 Annual Report (PDF)](/c/pmi-2026-q3/pmief-report?i=0c7440ed-bc50-4b74-823e-819ecabffab2&cr=agentads-creative-pmi-v1) ### FAQ structured data (JSON-LD, optional) ## Video: 16 LGBTQ Movies to Watch This Pride Month [Watch (HLS stream): 16 LGBTQ Movies to Watch This Pride Month](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/RoOJmRiu.m3u8) (7:37)  _Published 2022-06-02.

Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community carry a giant rainbow flag along a highway during the annual LGBT pride celebration in Marikina City, east of Manila, Philippines, on 30 June 2018.Richard James Mendoza—NurPhoto/Getty Images  by [Chad de Guzman / Manila](https://time.com/author/chad-de-guzman/)  ## Chad de Guzman / Manila Reporter Jun 6, 2022 11:09 AM UTC Gabb’z Gabriel is the very definition of a devout Roman Catholic. He even aspired to be a priest. At 12, he became part of his church’s youth ministry in Quezon City, about 10 km from the Philippine capital of Manila. He has attended religious processions of Holy Week flagellants, walking barefoot on sweltering asphalt. Now 35, he’s a regular choir member, and sometimes reads scripture to parishioners. In his free time, he maintains religious statuary and icons used on religious holidays. Gabriel is just one of the more than 80 million people in the Philippines, about 85% of the population, who profess the Catholic faith. But in a crowd of churchgoers on Black Saturday, he stands out with his shoulder-length black hair, his sleeveless kimono haltered by a pink belt, singing the Lord’s praises in a falsetto voice. “I am a gay man,” he tells TIME. “My gender expression is feminine.” The Philippines is known to be one of the [most LGBT-friendly countries](https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/06/25/global-divide-on-homosexuality-persists/) in Asia, despite its deeply entrenched Catholic culture. LGBT people have carved out their own space in the country’s churches, even taking up key roles in spreading the faith. As Catholicism worldwide seeks to reconcile its difficult relationship with sexual orientation and gender expression, this devoutly Catholic Southeast Asian country is an embodiment of both conflict and harmony between doctrinaire teachings on identity and modernity. **Read more**: [_Homophobia Is Not an Asian Value. It’s Time for the East to Reconnect to Its Own Traditions of Tolerance_](https://time.com/5918808/homophobia-homosexuality-lgbt-asian-values/) “I think the acknowledgement that a person has multiple dimensions made it easier for me to live this life,” Gabriel says, of his identity as a gay Catholic. “I am not living separate lives—I’m not living as an LGBT person outside the Church and then a Catholic inside the Church.” Dialogue, even with conservative fundamentalists opposing his way of life, is how he reconciles his faith with religious doctrines that marginalize him.  Members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community walk past a religious heckler during the annual LGBT pride celebration in Marikina City, east of Manila, Philippines, on 30 June 2018. Richard James Mendoza—NurPhoto/Getty Images With over 1.2 billion members worldwide, the Roman Catholic Church has enormously influenced modern life, laws, and customs. But LGBT rights in Catholic countries have faced strong pushback from conservatives, who cite Bible verses and Church documents to assert their opposition to homosexuality and support their rigid insistence that there are only two genders. Nevertheless, Catholicism has responded to cultural changes and demands for inclusivity. Pope Francis hinted at these changes as early as 2013, with his famed “Who am I to judge?” remark on gay clergymen. But even his attitude to the LGBT community is complicated: he supports same-sex [civil unions](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54627625), but opposes marriage and [gay priests joining the Church](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/02/gay-people-should-not-join-catholic-clergy-pope-francis-says). Gender theory for Pope Francis is a “[confused concept of freedom](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-gender-idUSKCN1TB20E),” but he welcomes [LGBT individuals](https://www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news/2022-05/pope-letter-fr-martin-lgtb-outreach-questions.html) into the faith and has taken the issue of inclusivity much farther than any of his predecessors, ruffling orthodox feathers. --- ### More from TIME --- The Philippines, with its relatively relaxed social norms on LGBT issues, chimes with the Pope’s message. If an LGBT person is visibly professing the faith, the Catholic laity finds them “tolerable,” says Jayeel Cornelio, a sociologist of religion at Ateneo de Manila University. ## **Folk Catholicism in the Philippines** Pre-colonial animistic religion in the Philippines embraced gender plurality. Indigenous priestesses, known as the _babaylan_, were revered. While most were female, some were male shamans who “[marry other males and sleep with them](http://intersections.anu.edu.au/issue2/carolyn2.html#n72).” These men would dress like women, a practice permissible in pre-colonial culture. It was only with the arrival of Spanish _conquistadores_ during the 16th century that the status of the _babaylan_ changed. They were vilified and driven out by Roman Catholic missionaries as Spain sought to impose its religion on the archipelago. Catholicism has since seeped deep into Filipino life, taking on the fervor of a folk religion for many adherents. During Lent, devotees volunteer to [get nailed to a cross](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-philippines-crucifixion-idCABRE92S04K20130329) as both penance and re-enactment of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. Before Christmas Eve, many attend a nine-day series of Masses in the belief that their wishes will come true. A _fiesta_ in January sees millions don maroon and yellow in praise of [the Black Nazarene](https://time.com/4627533/redemption-feast-black-nazarene-manila/), walking barefoot and carrying cloths to wipe on the statue in the belief that the fabric will absorb curative powers.  A devotee kisses an idol of Jesus Christ during the start of the Feast of the Black Nazarene on January 7, 2014 in Manila, Philippines. Dondi Tawatao/Getty Images While great store is set on rituals and festivals such as these, Catholic doctrine is not unquestioningly accepted. A law increasing access to contraceptives was still passed, for example, despite stern opposition from Catholic leaders. “I don’t think there is anyone, not even the most conservative or fundamentalist individual can be 100% consistent with everything that his or her own church proclaims,” Cornelio explains. So while the Catechism states that [“homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered,”](https://www.catholic.com/tract/homosexuality) LGBT persons in the Philippines have no difficulty identifying as Roman Catholic. **Read more:** [_What Asia’s LGBTQ+ Movement Can Learn From Japan_](https://time.com/5951039/asia-lgbtq-japan-lgbt/) The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) stresses that it does not discriminate against those like Gabriel who want to serve. But the LGBT community is also expected “not to change God” and Church doctrines, says Father Jerome Secillano, executive secretary of CBCP’s public affairs committee: “Rather, they should change for God, the Church and its doctrines. And this is true for everyone…God is here to guide the destinies of men. It is not the other way around.” ## **Catholics against anti-discrimination laws** Around the world, conservative Catholics and other fundamentalist groups have been lobbying against LGBT rights. In the Philippines, a law against discrimination has been languishing in Congress for 20 years. It has support from devout Catholic senators who see equal rights as an extension of the faith, but has run up against determined opposition. Rey Valmores-Salinas, chairperson of LGBT rights group Bahaghari, blames the Catholic Church and other religious groups for blocking the anti-discrimination law even though “LGBT rights are human rights.” Some cities have enacted their own anti-discrimination ordinances in the meantime. Absence of these laws can prove to be deadly. Little to no data is available on hate crimes in the Philippines, but data collated by Transgender Europe’s Trans Murder Monitoring project show that at least 77 murders of trans and gender-diverse people took place between 2008 and September 2021\. (The report warns that many hate crimes remain undocumented and that the actual number may be much higher.) One of the [most notorious cases](https://time.com/3536215/philippines-transgender-murder-jennifer-laude-lgbt-rights/) involved a U.S. Marine who killed a transwoman in 2014\. He was later pardoned by President Rodrigo Duterte.  A Catholic from the Philippines attends a mass in Vatican City, Vatican, on March 14, 2021. Franco Origlia/Getty Images ## **How dialogue can strengthen the Catholic faith** While Gabriel says he abstains from sex with men, and occasionally struggles to reconcile his sexual identity with his religious belief, others from his community are more assertive of their genders and sexual orientation. Growing up transgender and born into the Catholic Church, Valmores-Salinas said she would not allow herself to be treated as an “abomination.” She argues that if Jesus Christ were on Earth today, the Messiah would stand with the LGBT community. “I think standing up for equality is what it means to be holy,” says Valmores-Salinas, who says she is now agnostic. Sociologist Cornelio believes younger generations of Catholic laity are showing more impatience with conservative beliefs. The test of that will come soon. As its social influence wanes, the Church is conducting the so-called [Synod on Synodality](https://www.synod.va/en/what-is-the-synod-21-23/about.html)—a two-year listening process billed as the “largest consultation in human history,” with the faithful invited to share their views on the Church’s future direction. **Read more**: [_Philippines Elects First Transgender Congresswoman_](https://time.com/4326576/philippines-transgender-congresswoman-geraldine-roman/) Many followers of the Catholic faith, including the LGBT community, hope the process will bring about meaningful change. There are signs: last month, senior Vatican official Sister Nathalie Becquart talked to LGBT Catholics worldwide in [an unprecedented dialogue](https://cruxnow.com/vatican/2022/04/holy-spirit-is-guiding-church-on-synod-vatican-official-tells-lgbtq-group) “to foster communion and build a consensus” in order to “discern how the Holy Spirit is calling the Church to move forward.” If the battle can be won in a socially conservative Catholic country like the Philippines, it can be won anywhere. Gabriel recounts how he once confronted a female parishioner who took offense at his feminine attire while he was singing with the choir during Mass. When he asked her why his appearance bothered her, she was at a loss for words, he says. “I just told her, ‘I understand. You may not be comfortable seeing someone like me in the church,’” Gabriel tells TIME. “‘But the people that you said were looking at me, approached me after the service and they even congratulated me because our choir performed really well. They do not see me as how I dress, but how I serve.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6184345/lgbt-philippines-catholic-church-pride/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6184345/lgbt-philippines-catholic-church-pride/"},"headline":"In the Philippines, You Can Be Both Openly LGBT and Proudly Catholic.
