₱2 Million for the Future: A Bold Investment in Tech Talent
Let’s talk numbers. DigiPlus Interactive Corp., through its social development arm BingoPlus Foundation, has just pledged a cool ₱2 million to fund scholarships for 50 aspiring tech professionals. That’s not just a donation—it’s a declaration. A declaration that the future of the Philippines is digital, and it’s time we prepared our people for it. Unite for Tech Dreams.
This isn’t DigiPlus’ first rodeo. Their flagship FutureSmart Program has already touched the lives of over 5,000 students and teachers nationwide. But this time, they’re leveling up. And they’re not doing it alone.
Edukasyon.ph Joins the Party: A Partnership with Purpose, Unite for Tech Dreams
Enter Edukasyon.ph, the country’s leading education-to-career platform. Together with DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation, they’re launching a new wave of tech empowerment. The partnership was sealed with a ceremonial MOA signing on May 26, 2025, at AWS Philippines in Bonifacio Global City. Yes, the same AWS that powers half the internet.
This isn’t just a handshake and a photo op. It’s a strategic alliance to bridge the gap between tech education and real-world employment. And let’s be honest—there’s a pretty wide gap to bridge.
The AWS re/Start Program: Cloud Skills for Real Careers
So, what’s in it for the scholars? A 12-week deep dive into the AWS re/Start program. Think of it as tech bootcamp meets career accelerator. No prior IT experience? No problem. All you need is the drive to learn and a decent Wi-Fi connection.
The program equips learners with in-demand cloud computing skills—think EC2, S3, Lambda, and all the other acronyms that make tech recruiters drool. And once the training’s done, Edukasyon.ph steps in with job placement support. The goal? Employment within three months. Not bad for a three-month course, right?
From Training to Employment: A Pipeline, Not a Pipe Dream
Here’s where it gets interesting. Graduates of the program won’t just be left to fend for themselves in the wild world of job hunting. DigiPlus and its vast network of tech partners are ready to absorb this new wave of talent. It’s a full-circle model: train, certify, employ.
This isn’t just CSR fluff. It’s a workforce development strategy disguised as a scholarship program. And it’s working.
FutureSmart: Award-Winning, Impact-Driven
Let’s not forget the accolades. Earlier this year, the FutureSmart Program bagged a Gold Stevie Award for Excellence in Social Impact at the 2025 Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards in Seoul. That’s not just a shiny trophy—it’s validation that this initiative is making real, measurable change.
From scholarships and training to learning center donations and job pathways, FutureSmart is building a digital bridge for Filipinos who might otherwise be left behind.
Why This Matters: The Digital Economy Won’t Wait
The demand for digital skills is skyrocketing. Cloud computing, cybersecurity, data analytics—these aren’t just buzzwords. They’re the building blocks of the modern economy. And right now, the Philippines is in a race to keep up.
DigiPlus and BingoPlus Foundation aren’t just investing in individuals. They’re investing in the country’s digital future. And with Edukasyon.ph in the mix, that future looks a lot more accessible.
No Experience? No Problem. Just Bring the Hustle
Here’s the kicker: you don’t need a Computer Science degree to apply. You don’t even need prior IT experience. What you do need is curiosity, commitment, and a willingness to learn.
The AWS Cloud Skills Training Program is open for applications. Whether you dream of becoming a cloud engineer, IT specialist, or launching your own digital startup, this is your launchpad.
And let’s be honest—who wouldn’t want to tell their future employer, “Yeah, I trained with AWS”?
The Bigger Picture: Tech for All, Not Just the Privileged
This initiative isn’t just about filling jobs. It’s about democratizing access to tech education. It’s about making sure that a kid from Davao has the same shot at a cloud career as someone from Makati.
It’s about breaking the cycle of underemployment and creating a new generation of digital professionals who can compete on a global stage.
A Word from the Ground: Why This Hits Home
As someone who’s spent years covering the intersection of tech and education, I’ve seen my fair share of “transformative” programs. But this one? It’s got teeth. It’s got funding. It’s got partners who know what they’re doing. And most importantly, it’s got heart.
Because at the end of the day, this isn’t just about cloud certifications or job placements. It’s about giving people a shot. A real shot.
The Future Is Smart—and It’s Starting Now
So here’s the deal. If you—or someone you know—has ever dreamed of a career in tech but didn’t know where to start, this is your sign. DigiPlus, BingoPlus Foundation, and Edukasyon.ph are building the runway. All you have to do is take off.
And hey, if you end up working at AWS one day, don’t forget to send a thank-you note. Or at least a LinkedIn endorsement.
