Art. III Sec. 4. of the 1987 Constitution clearly states that:

No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.

Grateful for the opportunity, as a member of the Analytics & AI Association of the Philippines (AAP), to attend the ASEAN Tech Summit Manila 2026 held July 28–29 at the Manila Marriott Grand Ballroom in Newport City 🇵🇭🌏

It was inspiring to be part of conversations with policymakers, regulators, innovators, and industry leaders shaping ASEAN’s digital future: from AI and emerging technologies to fintech, digital trade, and regional connectivity.

Thank you, AAP, for extending this opportunity to its members. Events like this remind us that building a truly inclusive and future-ready digital ASEAN requires collaboration across government, industry, academe, and the wider technology community.

Glad to have been part of the conversation!

Season’s greetings! May this holiday season offer moments of rest, reflection, and inspiration as we continue our shared work in education and research.

I’m thrilled to share that I have been accepted into the Teacher Education Council (TEC) Fellows Program 2026, under the Education Innovation strand. This is a national fellowship that supports researchers and practitioners in developing high-impact, policy-relevant innovations for teacher education in the Philippines, with 11 fellows in this program.

As a public school SHS teacher and researcher, I’ve seen firsthand how beginning teachers navigate the challenges of onboarding and professional growth. This experience has fueled my passion for designing solutions that respond to real teacher needs with empathy, clarity, and meaningful support.

Building on the success of our award-winning SIBOL project, we'll be developing SIBOL-COMPASS: Coursebook Mentor Providing Assistance & Smart Support. It's an AI-driven companion that transforms the Induction Program for Beginning Teachers (IPBT) coursebooks into an interactive, accessible, and supportive learning experience.

Aligned with NEAP’s teacher development frameworks, SIBOL-COMPASS aims to empower beginning teachers by offering:
🧭 real-time guidance
📘 simplified coursebook concepts
✨ reflective prompts
🤝 and an empathetic, human-centered learning space.

Here’s to innovation with purpose 🇵🇭
