TP in the Philippines Champions Women Empowerment and Inclusivity

  

TP prides itself as an organization that celebrates the women who aren't just predicting the future but are proactively building it. In celebration of Women’s Month, TP organized a Leadership Summit which puts a spotlight on the leadership roles that women play in the organization’s successes.

TP in the Philippines (formerly Teleperformance) marked Women’s Month with a series of meaningful activities that promote empowerment, intersectionality, and leadership with TP Women. Through these initiatives, the organization continues to reinforce its steadfast commitment to building inclusive workplaces where women can thrive both personally and professionally.

TP Women is a global employee network that provides women across the organization with a platform to be heard, supported and empowered in their personal development and professional careers.

Inclusivity, Empowerment, and Stronger Policy for Women

Among TP’s initiatives for Women’s Month was ‘Harmony Queentuhan,’ a culture and belonging initiative that created a space for women employees to share their experiences and reflect on intersectionality in the workplace.

The discussions centered on the concept of who women are beyond their professional and personal roles, recognizing how their personal realities and responsibilities intersect with professional life and shape their experiences in the workplace. The dialogue also gave the women a platform to explore ideas for strengthening policies and opportunities for women to grow and lead.

TP in the Philippines also deepened its institutional commitment to promoting a safe and inclusive workplace through its "Building a Safer, More Inclusive Workplace for Women at TP" toolkit. The material outlines the company’s resources, policies and support frameworks for women, covering provisions such as its Anti-Sexual Harassment Policy, Battered Women Leave, and Magna Carta for Women.

Capping the Women’s Month celebrations was the ‘EmpowerHER Leadership Summit,’ serving as the cornerstone event, which brought together leaders, advocates and allies across TP in the Philippines to discuss the realities of women in the industry, especially in an era increasingly shaped by AI.

Women in Leadership and AI

The company also participated in the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines’ (ECCP) International Women’s Day celebration, ‘Women Who Shape Tomorrow: Giving to Gain Progress,’ where Toni Tompar, Executive Vice President for Operations for TP in the Philippines, delivered an impactful message on the future of women in leadership.

A central theme of her address was the intersection of emotional intelligence (EI) and artificial intelligence (AI). Tompar encourages leaders to reimagine traditional corporate structures, and embrace human-centered skills to navigate challenges.

Tompar also shares that the most forward-thinking teams operate in favor of outcome-driven behavior and performance, emphasizing the importance of creating spaces where women can excel without the constraints of outdated structures.

“It’s important we look at what we call the ‘invisible backpack’ that women continue to carry such as time constraints, social expectations, and physical circumstances,” Tompar said. “These are barriers that greatly affect the opportunities we have to focus on and further our careers.”

Her message called on organizations to support and mentor emerging women leaders, break barriers, and champion inclusion as a foundation for modern business leadership. The forum also featured Operations Vice President Nina Kristine Abad as a panelist, contributing insights on supporting women leaders and fostering inclusive workplace practices.

TP also took part in the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in the Philippines’ (CCIFP) forum, ‘Inclusive Intelligence: Women Advancing AI for Philippine Development.’

Right Photo: TP Executive Vice President for Operations Toni Tompar joined industry leaders at the ECCP International Women’s Month Forum to discuss how we are accelerating women’s leadership through high-impact development and sponsorship.

The session explored how female leadership is pivotal in ensuring that AI development remains equitable and inclusive in the Philippines, reinforcing the importance of women’s voices in shaping equitable, responsible and people-centered technological advancement.

“At TP in the Philippines, inclusion is not a one-time effort. It’s something we continuously build into how we support our people. When individuals feel seen and valued, they are empowered to grow and lead,” said Rachel Cacabelos, Vice President for Human Resources at TP.

As the future of work continues to evolve, TP in the Philippines continues to set a standard for workplace inclusivity and women empowerment in the IT-BPM industry. The organization continues to create pathways for women to thrive and succeed through equitable opportunities, supporting communities, and sustained leadership development.

LG Electronics Philippines Marks Earth Day 2026 with Employee-Led E-Waste Collection Initiative

  

LG Electronics Philippines (LGEPH) marked Earth Day 2026 through an employee-led e-waste collection initiative, gathering a total of 1200 kilograms of e-waste from March 31 to April 21 in support of more responsible waste management and environmental awareness.

As part of the initiative, LG Electronics Philippines facilitated the proper turnover of collected e-waste for responsible disposal through an accredited hazardous waste management partner. Employee volunteers also took part in the destruction of e-waste at the LG warehouse in Pasig City, reinforcing internal participation in the company’s Earth Day activity.

The initiative reflects LG’s broader sustainability direction, as the company recycles waste generated at its domestic and overseas business sites. Globally, LG continues to maintain a recycling rate above 95%, recording cumulative e-waste collection of 5.01 million tons and counting. LG also provides waste electronic product collection and treatment services in 89 locations across 54 countries, including the Philippines, where recycling services began in August 2022.

LG’s Earth Day e-waste activities align with the company’s effort to raise awareness of proper disposal and recycling. E-waste includes devices such as televisions, computers, cell phones, gadgets, batteries and small appliances that have reached end of life, are broken, or have been discarded, and improper disposal of such can affect water, air, and soil. For LG, initiatives such as the e-waste colletion are meant not only to support sustainability goals through proper disposal, but also to encourage participation and contribute to the community as a corporate citizen.

Nakhyun Seong, Managing Director, LG Electronics Philippines, said, “Earth Day is an important reminder that sustainability is built through everyday action. Through this e-waste collection initiative, we are encouraging employee participation in responsible disposal practices while supporting LG’s broader sustainability efforts. At LG, we believe innovation must come with responsibility, and what our employees have shown today is a true reflection of our commitment to a sustainable future.”

Built to push the limits of mobile innovation, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is your best mate, ready to capture every summer moment in breathtaking detail. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is now available at PHP 69,999. For a limited time, you can get the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro for less at PHP 64,999.

Stun Anywhere with Design That Outshines

Your summer wardrobe is curated to perfection, and your smartphone should be no exception. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is the ultimate stylish accessory for the season, featuring the reimagined Iconic Dual Space Rings Design that captures the spirit of “infinite exploration.” It reflects the innate courage of Mate users who boldly step into the unknown and passionately pursue infinite possibilities in every aspect of their lives.

The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro in Gold looks stunning as it catches the golden gleam of sunlight on the beach, while the Black finish exudes sleek sophistication perfect for a night out. Whichever color yours comes in, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro makes a great addition to your summer ensemble. Beyond looking good, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro’s vegan fiber design feels supremely comfortable and secure to hold — so you get a design that complements your style and keeps up with everything you do.

Savor the Sunsets with Pro-Grade Cameras Made to Outshoot

Every summer adventure deserves to be documented in remarkable vibrance and detail, and with the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, you essentially get a professional photography studio that fits in your beach bag. The True-to-Colour Camera retains exceptional color accuracy across all lighting conditions, ensuring the vibrant turquoise of the sea and the fiery orange of a sunset looks exactly as you see them in real life.

As the light fades, the phone’s 50MP Ultra Lighting Main Camera allows you to capture photos while you’re out on a nighttime stroll by the beach or during low-lit dinners with loved ones. When something across the distance catches your attention — like a surfer catching a wave or a parasailer spotted against the horizon — the 48MP Ultra Lighting Telephoto Macro Camera, with up to 4x optical zoom, lets you zoom in without compromising image quality. You can even focus on subjects just 5cm away to capture intricate details of a seashell you found by the shore, or a flower you found while out on a hike. Taking a huge group photo with your entire crew after a hike and fitting the expansive cliffside view in one frame is easy with the 40MP Ultra-Wide Angle Camera.

You don’t need to be an expert to capture breathtaking photos with the new AI Composition feature.

Simply point the phone’s camera, and follow the overlaid suggestions on the viewfinder to get stunning shots that look professionally done and ready to share on your social media feed.

Stay Ready for the Unexpected with Durability Built to Outlast

When your summer plans don’t go as planned, you need a mate that can handle those unpredictable moments. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is designed with reliable strength to withstand all the unplanned chaos that your getaway brings. If your phone takes an unexpected tumble while you’re outdoors or slips out of your hold when your hands are wet, the remarkably tough 2nd Generation Kunlun Glass keeps the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro’s screen protected with superior drop resistance. On its backside, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro has an ultra-resilient design that boasts an enhanced impact and bend resistance. This means your phone will remain looking pristine even when it gets accidentally knocked around in your bag or dropped on a cement surface.

Best of all, the elements are never an obstacle for HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro, thanks to its IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance. You can bring the device along while swimming in a pool and feel confident as it can effortlessly handle being submerged in up to 6 meters of water. Need to rinse off your phone after spilling your scalding hot coffee on it? It’s no problem. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro can withstand high-pressure water jets, high water temperatures of up to 80ºC, and even freezing conditions as low as -20ºC.

Never Miss a Beat with Power Engineered to Outperform

Long summer days call for a device that won’t slow you down. The HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro is built to keep up with your daily demands, executing intensive tasks without breaking a sweat — thanks to its 16GB of RAM and 21% better performance compared to its predecessor. Its 120Hz intelligent refresh rate maintains a smooth, seamless experience, so you can keep scrolling through your social media feed without interruptions. Using your phone under the intense summer heat can sometimes lead to lagging or worse, overheating. However, the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro stays cool with the industry’s first SuperCool Dual Phase Change Heat Dissipation System. This regulates the phone’s internal temperature, so you get a smooth and stable mobile experience even under heavy use.

The phone’s massive 5750mAh battery is built for endurance, easily lasting through 30 hours of video playback or a full day of summer activities. When your battery charge drops, the 100W Wired HUAWEI SuperCharge gets you back up to 51% in as fast as 15 minutes, while the 80W Wireless HUAWEI SuperCharge makes it easier to charge even without needing a cord to keep you connected and on schedule.

Your everyday convenience is as safe as it is seamless with the HUAWEI Mate 80 Pro. You get fast and accurate unlocking through the 3D ToF face recognition, which secures your mobile experience with high-level protection. With the wide range of available apps on the HUAWEI AppGallery, it’s easier than ever to stay connected through your favorite local and global platforms.

The Xponential Power of Visayas and Mindanao

  

  

Xponentials: Individuals turning local connections into limitless possibilities.

From Cebu to Davao and across Visayas and Mindanao, Filipino talent has always been present, now it’s breaking through. This shift comes into focus in “Xponentials,” where three Filipinos turn potential into reality, showing how ambition grows when accelerated by connection.

Featuring globally recognized talents like Kenneth Cobonpue, the Cebu-born designer who rose to become a global creative icon; Margielyn Didal, who went from the skate parks and street spots of Cebu to representing the country as a finalist at the Olympic stage; and KZ Tandingan, the Davao-raised artist whose voice resonates worldwide, “Xponentials” traces journeys that began in

Visayas and Mindanao and expanded far beyond it.

As the Fastest Internet in the Philippines*, Converge expands on its “Live to the Power of X” campaign reflecting a simple shift: possibility is no longer abstract. It is executed, expanded, and made tangible through connection.

“Live to the Power of X introduced the idea of possibility powered by connection, where
work, play, and life come together as one lived experience,” said Sandra Zira-Dingal, Head
of Consumer Marketing at Converge. “With Xponentials, we amplify that idea through the
people who are already living it.”

More than a showcase of individual success, it offers a glimpse into a broader movement,
where Filipinos are no longer waiting to be discovered, but are actively building their
presence on the world stage, in real time.

“What we’re seeing is a shift in how Filipinos achieve global impact,” added Orange Ramirez, VP and Head of Brand & Marketing at Converge. “They’re no longer waiting for opportunities to come to them, they’re creating them, wherever they are.”

As this shift accelerates across the VisMin region, reliable, high-speed connectivity is becoming increasingly critical. At the center of this transformation is the need for strong, dependable infrastructure, one that allows Filipinos from all walks of life to collaborate globally, share instantly, and reach audiences beyond borders. Converge Super FiberX is designed to support this reality, enabling users to stay seamlessly connected in an increasingly digital future.
