Every July 21, my Instagram memories remind me of the first time my nephew Gavin and I truly bonded. Our Gavin, a pandemic baby, was a shy little boy, the kind who needed time and gentle patience. To this day, he takes a little longer to warm up to anyone. But during this one short family trip, I finally got him to sit next to me for a couple of funny pictures. I remember thinking I had to move quickly, he might run off any second. I didn’t expect him to stay, but he did. That was four years ago.…

While writing this piece, I found myself stumbling into tech tips I honestly didn’t know existed. Things like mini UPS units for modems or how switching WiFi bands could actually help during a storm. So if you’re like me and thought a brownout automatically meant the internet was hopeless, you’re not alone.

More than 3,000 infrastructure projects worth nearly ₱216 billion were delayed or unimplemented in the Philippines last year. Another ₱242 billion in government-funded projects, including roads, hospitals, schools, and irrigation systems, were flagged as either defective, stalled, or abandoned. Most recently, it was reported that the Marcos administration confirmed that ₱1 trillion worth of ODA-funded projects are delayed. From healthcare to transportation, the country is falling behind in fulfilling promises made to the public. While there are several reasons, one critical factor for projects to be completed successfully is the presence of a skilled project professional. The public rarely reads…

The initiative was highlighted during the Frontier Tech Trends webinar, “Artificial Intelligence in the Workspace,” organized by DICT as part of National ICT Month. “It’s about making sure we all grow and adapt together—wala tayong iwanan. The spirit of bayanihan lives on in the digital age. It means helping each other understand, adapt, and thrive,” Emmy Lou Versoza-Delfin, Director of DICT’s ICT Industry Development Bureau (IIDB) said in a…

We are at a time where the Metro Manila traffic threatens to undo all progress done during the remote work boom. Once again we see Filipino workers braving commutes and long queues. While most offices have fully accepted the hybrid setup, some are still implementing a full onsite work setup. Reasons vary as to why companies choose their set-ups in the post-pandemic. However, some have already acknowledged that onsite work is a thing of the past, which leads us to the question, “Can technology replace the sense of belonging people once found at the office?” For tech companies like Lark,…

Editor’s note: Most of the photos featured in this article were contributed by the team behind the Mindanao Goes Solar tour, who offered to document the visits for media coverage. The last time I went to Mindanao was when I went to see the shrimp solar farm in General Santos City. Back then, solar energy seemed to be a quiet part of business strategy. Promising, but nothing of revolutionary. This time, I found myself in Cagayan De Oro (CDO), where the rage is ten times louder. Here, it is no longer in its experimental phase. From homes, farms, and to…
