HONOR and PHINMA Foundation Empower Future Educators Through Technology
Bridging the Digital Learning Gap With Tablet Donations
Education is the foundation of opportunity, but for many students, access to technology remains a barrier to success. HONOR Philippines, in partnership with the PHINMA Foundation, is stepping in to help.
On May 22, 2025, HONOR officially launched “Pad Your Way to the Future”, a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative that provides digital learning tools to deserving scholars.
Through this program, 25 HONOR Pad X9a tablets were donated to students across various PHINMA-supported schools, ensuring that future educators have the technology they need to thrive.
Held at Philippine Normal University – Manila, the event reaffirmed HONOR and PHINMA Foundation’s shared commitment to education, innovation, and equal access to learning resources.
Technology as a Tool for Education
HONOR’s Vice President for the Philippines, Stephen Cheng, emphasized the deeper purpose behind the initiative:
“This partnership with the PHINMA Foundation is more than just a formal agreement—it’s a heartfelt commitment to shaping a better future through education. We believe in the power of technology to transform lives, especially when placed in the hands of passionate learners and educators.”
HONOR’s mission goes beyond making devices—it’s about making education accessible for students who need the right tools to succeed.
Scholars Receive a Game-Changing Learning Device
For many PHINMA Foundation scholars, digital tools remain out of reach.
- Some borrow phones to access study materials.
- Others wait for public computer availability just to complete their tasks.
- Many struggle with outdated devices that make studying more challenging.
That’s why this donation couldn’t have come at a better time.
According to Ron Ranier Reyes, Executive Director of PHINMA Foundation:
“Many of our scholars face daily struggles—not just academically, but even in accessing the tools they need to learn. Some borrow phones or wait for their turn at public computers. This donation from HONOR could not have come at a better time. With these tablets, students will now have access to digital tools that will enhance their education, their connectivity, and ultimately, their future.”
With HONOR Pad X9a tablets now in their hands, these students can study more efficiently, stay organized, and unlock new opportunities.
A Student’s Perspective: How a Tablet Can Change Lives
For Josua Romero, a scholar from Philippine Normal University, this donation is more than just about getting a new device—it’s about hope.
“My old laptop was failing me. Tasks took longer, deadlines were harder to meet. This tablet isn’t just a device—it’s hope. Hope that I can study more effectively, stay organized, and access new opportunities that were once out of reach.”
He also outlined what HONOR means to him, turning the name into an acronym that reflects his gratitude and enthusiasm:
H – Help in Learning – It makes education easier and more dynamic.
O – Organization of Tasks – Managing schedules and assignments is more efficient.
N – New Opportunities – The tablet enables connections, exploration, and collaboration.
O – On-the-Go Studying – Learning can now happen anytime, anywhere.
R – Resource for Growth – It becomes a valuable companion in academics and life.
These tablets represent more than just a tool for studying—they are bridges to a brighter future.
Strengthening the Commitment to Education
To solidify this long-term partnership, HONOR Philippines and PHINMA Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) during the event.
This ensures that their collaboration will continue beyond this donation, opening up more initiatives to support students, educators, and academic institutions.
The event also featured:
- An interactive product presentation showcasing the HONOR Pad X9a’s capabilities.
- Student activities encouraging creative learning.
- Networking sessions where scholars engaged with professionals and peers.
Through these efforts, HONOR and PHINMA Foundation aren’t just donating tablets—they’re building a stronger, more connected learning environment.
