Underscores Emotional Intelligence (EI) as critical differentiator amidst AI boom

Chief Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines Rahul Jolly confirms the company’s staunch commitment to continued upskilling and curriculum development as he closes the IBPAP Talent Forum 2025.

TP in the Philippines, a global leader in digital business services and one of the largest IT-BPM employers in the Philippines, gathered more than 140 delegates from the academe, industry, and government at the Talent Forum 2025 co-presented with the IT & Business Process Association of the Philippines (IBPAP), held at Shangri-La The Fort.

TP is one of the key thought leaders in the forum’s highlight activity, the Industry-Academe Link-Up, a platform where delegates explored collaborative initiatives to drive curriculum development, upskilling, and talent acquisition.

During the Industry Showcase segment focusing on industry-academe collaboration, emerging technologies, and talent development, Vice President of Learning & Development Inkee Hidalgo shared TP’s successful programs powered by Emotional Intelligence (AI) and enabled by AI, “Our role in the industry is to continue to innovate the partnerships that we have today and ensure that we continue to prepare our workforce for the needs of the future. The partnership between TP, the [IT-BPM] industry, and the academe is critical and foundational in addressing the talent needs we’re facing today,” said Hidalgo.

Vice President of Learning and Development Inkee Hidalgo gets the ball rolling with an Industry Showcase, putting the spotlight on TP’s successful programs powered by Emotional Intelligence (AI) and enabled by AI

In 2024, TP successfully partnered with industry partners, curriculum developers, and with the Pasig City local government for its TP Skills to Employment Program (STEP). The program achieved a remarkable 88% hire rate and received the Grand Anvil Award nomination and the Gold Anvil Award under the CSR/Public Relations category at the recent 60th Anvil Awards organized by the Public Relations Society of the Philippines.

Through the years, TP has consistently engaged in multi-sectoral partnerships to forge programs for skills development and employment opportunities.

Chief People Officer of TP in the Philippines Jeffrey Johnson joins an insightful conversation on the evolving role of industry-academe collaborations alongside moderator Celeste Ilagan, Chief Operating Officer of IBPAP; co-panelists Fen Magdalera, former chairperson of GICC; Genevieve Laurel, Founder and Vice Chairman of Southville International School and Colleges; Cheryl Peralta, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs – UST; and Tirso Ronquillo, President of Batangas State University

In his expert sharing, TP in the Philippines Chief People Officer Jeffrey Johnson said, “We recognize the gap between skills and talent, and that’s driven by our demands and needs also increasing. We need to evolve and keep investing and working together to level up partnerships so we can create more high skill jobs for the future,”. Johnson was one of the thought leaders in a panel discussion on building effective and future-proof collaborations.

Entitled “Industry-Academe Link-Up: Collaborative Strategies for Workforce Development”, the Talent Forum 2025 explored “the evolving role of industry-academe collaborations in shaping workforce readiness within the Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT-BPM) sector, highlighting the Philippine Skills Framework (PSF) as a critical tool for aligning academic curricula with industry needs.”

Capping off the high-level activities of the forum, Chief Executive Officer of TP in the Philippines Rahul Jolly ended with optimism and high expectations for growth as the IT-BPM industry and the rest of the nation further embrace digital transformation saying, “As a people company, talent development is a cornerstone of our strategy at TP. Supporting innovation and curriculum transformation is a commitment that we will continue to drive as we move forward in the talent and skills development journey for our industry and our partners.”

As part of its strategy to accelerate digital transformation and AI-integration for its operations and clients’ businesses, TP has embarked on an extensive EI program for its people. The company is confident that, in the midst of an intensely digitized world, a workforce with highly evolved EI skills empowered by smart and secure AI technologies will be a critical differentiator for businesses to thrive.

Rex Education marked its 75th anniversary at AECON 2025, held on January 16-17 at the Gallio Events Hall in Parañaque. The theme, celebrating 75 Years of Commitment to Quality Education: Seamless and Meaningful Learning Experiences Through Assessment, Intervention, and Enrichment, highlighted the company’s dedication to education. Nearly 1,000 educators, school leaders, and stakeholders attended the two-day event, which focused on addressing key educational challenges through insightful discussions and knowledge-sharing.

Gathering of Change Makers in Education
Each year, AECON addresses pressing issues in education, equipping teachers and leaders with valuable insights and solutions. This year, as part of its 75th anniversary, the focus is on creating seamless and meaningful learning experiences for every learner and educator.

In his opening remarks, REX COO Roger John Y. Fontelera highlighted that education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. He stated, “This year’s AECON isn’t about giving ready-made solutions. Instead, it’s about creating a space for reflection, learning, and collaboration. We want to provide you with stepping stones—resources, strategies, and ideas—that you can adapt to meet the specific needs of your schools, communities, and learners.”

Department of Education (DepEd) Undersecretary Peter Irving Corvera delivered a keynote address emphasizing the urgency of preparing Filipino learners for an increasingly digital world. He reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to developing future-ready learners by integrating technology, enhancing critical thinking, and strengthening public-private collaborations.

One key session featured a panel discussion with respected education experts and policymakers:
Dr. Karol Mark Yee, Executive Director o of the Second Congressional Commission on Education (EDCOM 2)
Dr. Dina Joana Ocampo, Professor at the University of the Philippines and former DepEd Undersecretary for Curriculum and Teaching
Ms. Rhodora Ferrer, Executive Director of the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC)
Atty. Joseph Noel Estrada, Legal Counsel of the Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA)
Moderated by Dr. Edizon Fermin, Vice President for Academic Affairs at National Teachers College, the discussion focused on improving learning outcomes in the Philippines. It emphasized evidence-based policy decisions, stronger accountability among education leaders, and the importance of authentic assessments to accurately measure student progress.

In the afternoon, Dr. Amy Berry, Director of EngagED Consulting, led a plenary session on student engagement. She challenged traditional approaches and introduced innovative methods that empower both teachers and students to co-create meaningful learning experiences.

A Moment of Gratitude and the Symphony of Learning
The second day of AECON began with a Thanksgiving Mass celebrated by Most Reverend Jesse Mercado, Bishop of Parañaque, reflecting on the journey of Rex Education and its mission to support Filipino education.

After the mass, REX CEO Don Timothy Buhain introduced the Symphony of Learning Solutions, a suite of educational resources supporting lifelong learning, from early childhood to professional development. This initiative highlights REX’s commitment to integrating assessment, intervention, and enrichment for educators and learners.

Buhain compared learning to a symphony, where every effort, resource, and voice comes together to create something meaningful. He assured, “The symphony will improve—with practice, continuous learning, change, and execution. In the future, there will be additions when they are necessary. We will listen and count on our Edukampyon community, including the voice of our learners.”

The Symphony of Learning Solutions includes lesson exemplars, learning instruments, digital platforms like Schoology, and targeted assessments to ensure well-rounded education at every stage.

A Unified Pledge for Quality Education
As the congress concluded, a spirit of unity filled the hall as attendees stood for the Edukampyon Pledge. Led by Jeanne Marie Tordesillas, Chief Marketing Officer of REX, this solemn moment reaffirmed the commitment of educators and education stakeholders to advancing quality education, advocating for policies that support meaningful learning, and prioritizing the best interests of Filipino learners.

75 Years and Beyond: The Edukampyon Commitment
Reaching 75 years is a testament to Rex Education’s dedication to every learner and educator it has served. The journey continues.
In his message of gratitude, REX Chairman and President Atty. Dominador Buhain thanked all the Edukampyons and shared, “Seventy-five years, and our work is not yet done. The future demands more from us, and we accept that challenge with open hearts and minds… We vow to continue listening, learning, and innovating to provide high-quality learning solutions for every Filipino learner.”

As Rex Education looks beyond 75 years, its commitment remains—to be the trusted katuwang of every Filipino educator, school, and learner, fostering lifelong learning for generations—para sa bata, para sa mamamayan, para sa bayan, for life.

Mega Prime Foods Inc. (MPFI) is strengthening its global footprint with a strategic expansion into Dubai, introducing its leading product categories—including Mega Sardines, the Number 1 Sardines in the Philippines, Mega Mackerel, Mega Squid, Mega Prime Corn & Mushroom, and Mega Prime Nata—to the Middle Eastern market.

As part of this exciting move, MPFI participated in Gulfood 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Center (DWTC) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), one of the world’s largest food and beverage exhibitions, alongside the Export Sales and Marketing teams, providing a platform to showcase Mega Sardines’ fresh-catch quality, Mega Mackerel’s rich and flavorful taste, Mega Squid’s quality seafood offering, Mega Prime Corn & Mushroom’s kitchen convenience, and Mega Prime Nata’s refreshing versatility. These products were introduced not only to Filipinos in the UAE but also to Dubai’s diverse, multicultural community, reinforcing the company’s vision: “To bring pride to Filipinos by providing world-class brands that uplift people’s lives.”

MPFI also took part in Barrio Fiesta Dubai and Mega Prime Foods at Kooya Filipino Eatery, where key Filipino influencers in Dubai—such as Love, Josie, Bengs Hyu, Pinay Indian Accent, and Kai Torreflores—joined the celebrations, expanding the brand’s presence in the region.
Strengthening its foothold in the UAE market, MPFI has partnered with Baqer Mohebi Enterprises to make its products widely available in Baqer Mohebi Supermarkets across key locations in Dubai.
“Our entry into Dubai is a milestone that reflects our commitment to delivering high-quality Filipino flavors to the global stage,” said Michelle Tiu Lim-Chan, President and CEO of Mega Prime Foods. “We are excited to connect with international partners and expand our reach, ensuring Mega Prime Foods remains a trusted name in households worldwide.”
This expansion marks a proud step forward in MPFI’s journey to bring authentic Filipino flavors to the world, uplifting Filipino heritage and solidifying its position as a global food player.

Strengthening MPFI’s Global Presence
This expansion comes at a pivotal time as MPFI celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of excellence and innovation in food manufacturing. Establishing a stronger foothold in the UAE is a significant step in the company’s mission to make Filipino products a recognized staple worldwide.

Dubai presents an ideal opportunity for MPFI’s international growth: (1) As a leading culinary hub in the Middle East, it attracts top chefs, restaurateurs, and food innovators from around the world. (2) Its diverse and multicultural population fuels a strong demand for international flavors, including Filipino cuisine. (3) With a well-developed food industry and status as a global trade center, Dubai serves as the perfect launchpad for MPFI’s high-quality products.

Beyond its large Filipino community, Dubai allows MPFI to introduce authentic Filipino flavors to a broader international audience, positioning Filipino cuisine alongside the world’s most celebrated food cultures.

Committed to Global Growth
MPFI’s entry into Dubai is part of its broader international strategy, reinforcing its dedication to food excellence, innovation, and authenticity. As it expands beyond borders, the company remains committed to upholding the quality and heritage that have made Mega a household name for generations.
