As part of its ongoing commitment to help build a Digital Philippines towards an AI-ready economy, Google announced the availability of Google AI Essentials course on Coursera to equip Filipinos with AI skills.
AI presents a transformative opportunity for the Philippines to address economic challenges by boosting productivity and unlocking human potential. A study by Access Partnership forecasts that Philippine businesses could reap PHP2.8 trillion (USD50.7 billion) in economic benefits in 2030 through the adoption of AI-powered products and solutions.
Realizing this potential requires a multi-faceted approach which includes promoting innovative yet responsible AI adoption across industries, fostering a supportive regulatory environment, investing in AI infrastructure, and upskilling the workforce.
Google AI Essentials is a self-paced online course taught by AI experts at Google. This course requires no previous experience with AI, and is designed to help people across roles and industries get essential AI skills to boost productivity. In less than 10 hours, learners will gain hands-on experience with a variety of AI tools to brainstorm ideas and speed up daily work tasks, including:
Develop ideas and content: Use AI to help brainstorm and generate ideas and then turn that idea into a presentation outline to sell it through.
Make more informed decisions: Use AI to help research locations and organize information so you can pick the best spot based on a set criteria.
Speed up daily work tasks: Use AI to help draft email responses so you can quickly clear out that inbox.
Write effective prompts: Create clear and specific prompts and learn prompting techniques to get the output you want.
Use AI responsibly to mitigate unfair biases and inaccuracies.
Upon successful completion, participants will receive a Google-issued skill badge to showcase their newly acquired AI proficiency to potential employers and colleagues.
Collaborating with local partners to effectively distribute Google AI Essentials scholarships
To extend Google AI Essentials scholarship opportunities to Filipinos nationwide, Google has partnered with key stakeholders, including the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the Department of Trade and Industry. These partners will receive scholarship allocations to distribute among Filipino youth, jobseekers, MSMEs, entrepreneurs, civil servants, and others. This collaborative approach ensures that the scholarships reach those who can benefit most from developing essential AI skills.
“Google’s AI Essentials launch is a key step forward in digital inclusion and innovation. By broadening access to AI education, this initiative is set to transform our economy and equip a skilled workforce ready to capitalize on digital opportunities. We commend Google for their leadership in this effort and look forward to the significant impact it will have on our nation’s economic growth and workforce development.” said Alfredo Pascual, secretary of the Department of Trade and Industry.
“Google is deeply committed to the Philippines and its digital transformation towards an AI-ready future. We believe that AI has the power to unlock immense economic potential and drive innovation across industries. Through initiatives like Google AI Essentials, we aim to empower Filipinos with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in the AI age. We’re excited to continue our partnership with the government, businesses, and communities to build a more inclusive and progressive digital future for the Philippines,” said Jackie Wang, country director of Google Philippines and Thailand.
Google, in addition to its skilling programs, has also made substantial investments in digital infrastructure. The company confirmed earlier this year that the TPU (Taiwan-Philippines-United States) subsea cable system, announced in May 2023 in collaboration with regional carriers Chunghwa Telecom, Innove (a subsidiary of Globe Group), and AT&T, is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. Subsea cables are crucial in addressing the increasing demand for digital, AI, and cloud-based services from both individuals and businesses. Additionally, they contribute to positive economic impacts for countries by boosting trade, investment, and productivity.
In a world where technology and sustainability are becoming increasingly intertwined, Epson, a global leader in innovative technology, is powering the way. The tech giant re-affirmed its commitment to sustainability and announced new initiatives at the Fusion 15 “The Eco-Connection” at Shangri-La Mactan in Cebu on May 15-17.
Sustainability in every aspect
At the annual media event, Epson emphasized the importance of forming an eco-connection, which represents two key elements central to its corporate mission. First, it signifies Epson’s unwavering commitment to building a sustainable future. This involves creating eco-efficient products, adopting sustainable practices in our operations, and forming impactful partnerships and initiatives that benefit both people and the planet. The second key element is the strong bond between Epson and its partners and customers as they work together to promote sustainability.
To build a sustainable company, one must begin with its operations. Epson integrates sustainability in its day-to-day processes, such as reducing waste and emissions in manufacturing and aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is also leading the way in the use of solar power. The company is the first Japanese manufacturer to transition all its global sites, including its Batangas manufacturing plant, to 100% renewable energy.
“At Epson, we have a philosophy called Sho-Sho-Sei—efficient, compact, and precise,” Masako Kusama, president and director at Epson Philippines. “Aligned with our ‘Engineered for Good’ initiative, the core of what we do is creating products that use less energy and resources throughout their lifecycle.”
Epson is now working toward becoming carbon negative and underground resource-free by 2050. To achieve this, the company is investing heavily in decarbonization, resource recycling, and environmental technology development, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions in their supply chain.
The company is also making strides in sustainable action through its partnership with WWF-Philippines. Joint initiatives such as the educational Panda Talks and the Mangrove Restoration Project have reinforced the importance of a shared responsibility to care for the environment.
New sustainability initiatives
Epson Philippines discussed its sustainability efforts not only in the company’s products, but also in its operations, and partnership projects.
Looking ahead, Epson is excited to further its partnership with WWF-Philippines with a new project, which aims to boost the capabilities of the A.T.E. Atelier Sewing-Recycling Art Studio in Siargao Island by providing machinery, building infrastructure, and empowering the community. The company also hinted at the local launch of a game-changing business inkjet printer lineup in May this year.
“These printers are designed to be eco-conscious and offer stress-free solutions for businesses,” stated Thea Austria, Epson Philippines’ manager for Corporate Printers Group, product marketing division. “With this line’s high-speed printing and scanning capabilities, compact design, and reduced environmental impact, we believe they will revolutionize the printing industry and provide businesses with reliable and efficient printing solutions.”
“At Epson, we’re not just building products, we’re building a greener tomorrow. As we celebrate 15 years of Fusion, we invite everyone to join us in this mission,” concluded Kusama. “Together, let’s save energy, make responsible choices, and create a thriving future for both people and the planet.”

The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is gearing up for the third edition of its much-anticipated annual Sustainability Awareness Month (SAM) this June, in alignment with the Bank’s sustainability agenda. In its steadfast commitment to responsible banking and operations, BPI has curated an engaging lineup of activities designed to encourage Filipinos to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle.
With the theme “Beyond Green,” this month-long initiative provides opportunities for the members of the public to adopt sustainable practices and become ambassadors for responsible and sustainable living.

The Communicator, the official student publication of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Communication (PUP COC), has completed one of its missions to guide COCians to the north star of journalism in its first-ever journalism workshop dubbed “Dakompass: The Communicator’s Journalism Workshop” from May 20 to May 23 at the PUP Accenture Room.
With the theme “Navigating Campus Journalism: Guiding Journalists from Classrooms to Newsrooms,” the workshop series delved deeper into the basics of journalism, which is usually taught in classrooms. Lasting for three days and featuring esteemed resource speakers and mentors, Dakompass took us on a journey to a brightly shining star.
First Day: “Sumulong, sumulat, manindigan, at magmulat.”
May 20 was a day to remember as notable speakers gave directions on how to be an ethical journalist.
John Ray Luciano, deputy secretary general of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines (CEGP), highlighted the dos and don’ts of covering the marginalized and handling special topics in the morning session of the first day.
Emphasizing empathy and immersing oneself in the people’s struggles, the discussion gave us a map of how to become a journalist whose service is to the masses.
The afternoon session, moreover, delved deeper into how to pen a strong and compelling opinion piece. Explained PH’s editor-in-chief, Archie Bergosa, shared his experience and expertise and taught different routes to where discerning opinion articles reside.
Attendees also crafted their articles with the opportunity to get insights from the renowned student journalist.
Second Day: “There are stories everywhere.”
On May 21, it rained with trails and adjectives as COC’s very own explored the magic of feature writing and the power of investigative journalism.
Associate Professor Prestoline Suyat, vice chairperson of the Pinoy Media Center, described every twist and turn of featuring stories, persons, trends, and social issues.
Focusing on the issue of red-tagging and the journalists’ experience with it, attendees presented the routes they took in writing their creative narratives.
In the afternoon session, Rappler’s multimedia reporter, Jairo Bolledo, discussed the power and significance of following the trails of an issue.
Targeting local and national issues, attendees pitched new insightful ideas for stories they would love to explore and write an investigative story about.
Last Day: “What piques the audience’s interest.”
The last day, May 23, was dedicated to the creative minds behind the graphics presenting people’s stories visually.
Angat Taytay’s creative lead, Jose Miguel Dela Cruz, led the journey of coloring our paths toward piquing people’s interest through visually appealing graphics. Attendees created and presented their graphic art for The Communicator’s story releases.
This event was in collaboration with the COC Student Council, sponsored by Cozy Zola, Sangguniang Kabataan Marilag, and Casecove; and in partnership with BAJ T1NDIG, BAJ S1DLAK, BAJ 1DEOPRAXIST, BAJ 2nay Seekers, BAJ Insurgent, The Turning Point, ENCHANTRES, PUP Journalism Guild, Mulat Documentary Guild, Film Aficionados Circle, Underscore PUP Department of Communication Research, Palawanderer, Explained PH, AlterMidya, Monster RX 93.1, Gadgets Magazine, and CEGP.
The stars have aligned, the road has brightened, and Dakompass has achieved its mission of providing guidelines for The Communicator staffers.
Now that we have reached the north star of journalism, are we ready to use the knowledge we gained in climbing the much higher mountain?

This partnership not only furthers Smart’s commitment to enhancing customer experience but also highlights Igloo’s mission to provide as many avenues to device protection as possible for Filipinos, especially with the country being one of the social media capitals in the world.
“In the Philippines, 84.4% of the population own smartphones, and individuals spend nearly four hours daily on social media, well above the global average of two and a half hours. As a highly connected and social nation, the importance of these devices for communication, productivity, and entertainment is undeniable,” remarked Roberto Vea, commercial lead at Igloo Philippines. “Recognizing the essential role of these devices and the need to safeguard them, Igloo has partnered with Smart to introduce phone protection plans, providing our customers with peace of mind.”
Smart subscribers gain exclusive access to Phone Protect where they can purchase a phone protection plan with their preferred coverage and duration. It offers subscribers protection against accidental and liquid damage and includes professional repair and service at authorized centers for the Basic tier and additional protection against losses due to theft and robbery for the Plus tier.
Plans start at PHP125 for one year of coverage, making it one of the most affordable and comprehensive gadget care products available in the market.
The device protection insurance plan seamlessly integrates into the checkout process, allowing customers to review the plan details, associated premium, and terms and conditions before finalizing payment. This transparency ensures customers have a clear understanding of the additional cost and the benefits it adds to their transaction, enhancing their overall experience.
“We’re excited to expand access to device protection products with Smart, as it aligns with our goal to democratize and enhance the experience of protecting your devices. We’ve worked to make every aspect—from customer experience to pricing, coverage, purchase, and claims—easy and convenient. Partnering with Smart allows us to reach the widest possible audience.” Vea explained.
The value of partnerships in providing insurance for all
Igloo and its partners’ gadget protection and cracked screen protection products have become some of the most popular segments in the country, with over 15.8 million policies sold through various distribution platforms since January 2023.
From consumer finance to e-commerce, Igloo has been working to provide insurance to various sectors in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia. One of its most recent partnerships with Skyro and Salmon provided protection access to the underbanked segment, many of whom rely on digital lending companies for installment purchases.
Additionally, in collaboration with Growsari, an MSME enabler, Igloo piloted the Personal + Business Protection plan. This initiative aims to cover over 200,000 sari-sari stores across the country with financial assistance in case of unwanted incidents arising from natural calamities, such as floods from torrential rains.
“At Igloo, we believe that to provide insurance tailored to the needs of its market, partnerships are crucial in enabling broader audience reach while offering diverse coverage options. With our partners, we can continuously improve and innovate our offerings to serve as many people as possible,” Vea said.
Igloo’s collaboration with Smart and other partners is part of its mission to expand its reach across Southeast Asia and provide innovative insurance solutions to nearly 700 million people in the region.

In his presentation prior to the induction and oath-taking of the new officers, Mojica highlighted some of the biggest accomplishments of MDPPA under his leadership as the association’s president from 2021 to 2023.
Under Mojica, MDPPA was able to support industry stakeholders through a robust response and recovery program for the motorcycle industry to address the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the industry.
Within Mojica’s term, MDPPA was also able to collaborate with different government agencies, and motorcycle industry stakeholders – locally and from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, facilitating dialogue on how they can uplift the motorcycle industry in the region.
Mojica thanked the association for trusting in him over the last three years and expressed confidence that the new officers will be able to build off of these accomplishments and take the MDPPA to greater heights.

Newly elected president Cumpas expressed a renewed commitment to the goals of the association and said the new officers will continue to work hard towards a brighter future for the motorcycle industry.
This will be done through open and continuous collaboration with stakeholders from the motorcycle and corollary industries, aiding industry regulators in the development and implementation of policies and guidelines that are relevant to the ever-changing needs of motorcycle users, and pushing for economic policies that will promote the growth of the industry, among others.
“We shall ensure that the motorcycle industry is well-placed to benefit from even more investment in production, bolster the domestic supply chain, and ensure people with the right skills are available to support a growing industry,” said Cumpas.
On its 50th anniversary, MDPPA remains steadfast in its commitment to proactively address the needs of the industry as well as global industry gaps in road safety, regulation compliance, environmental protection, and technology innovation. As MDPPA enters this new chapter, the motorcycle industry can rest assured that the association will continue to do its part in steering the industry towards a brighter tomorrow.
