“Over the past centuries, countless women have already made great contributions in the field of ICT. They broke the glass ceiling in this field for us so that we can continue to carve our place in this sector today,” Orlino said.

“Now, the challenge for the new generation of women is how we can use ICT to empower communities and foster inclusivity. I encourage the younger generation to use their passion and creativity to shape a more equal, inclusive, and innovative digital world for all of us and for the next generations to come,” she added.

The PLDT Group and PNPh have long worked together to promote inclusion, internet safety, and digital wellness, particularly among vulnerable groups in society such as the elderly and youth.

She has initiated major ICT programs that advocated the use of ICT to improve teaching strategies of K-12 teachers that led to improving learning outcomes among students,” added Flores.
