My Takeaway from the webinar “The Hacker's Journey: A Guide to Getting into Cybersecurity”


The webinar I attended was “The Hacker's Journey: A Guide to Getting into Cybersecurity,” held on September 20, 2015, which was hosted by Qubit in both Google Meet and FaceBook Live, alongside their resource speaker, Mr. Mark Angelo P. Santonil, a Systems Security Administrator at Skydev.Solutions. The webinar discussed the key insights into today’s digital threat landscape and practical strategies for safeguarding data and systems. Included during this webinar was a Capture the Flag (CTF) challenge, a hands-on cybersecurity activity designed to enable the participants to test their problem-solving and ethical hacking skills. 

From the webinar, I learned how cybersecurity is a broad topic; there are ranges from investigation and analysis to prevention and defense. Also, the different tools for domains where you can learn some of the critical skills needed. And sometimes a picture is not just a picture, that there is hidden data inside of it where you can find a message.


I also learned what web exploitation is, including the common exploits and scenarios. It also talks about forensics, which I understand now—how the term used in cybersecurity is really like an actual investigation. But my biggest takeaway from this webinar is that cybersecurity is not just about hacking or attacking online platforms but also defending or protecting from dangerous risks and attacks.

I specifically choose the Day 4 where it discusses the creative education and entrepreneurship by featured speaker  Maria Luisa B. Gatchalian , a country deputy director of UNESCO APEID EE Net.

It also talked about our cultural festival with a business pla...

My Takeaway from the webinar entitled “Introduction to IT Acquisition”

The webinar I attended was “Introduction to IT Acquisition,” held on September 3,2025, and facilitated by the Information Technology Development Center (ITDC) with guest speaker Engr. Medel E. Aligan , a GPPB-recognized trainer. The session focused on the legal foundations, procurement strategies, challenges, and sustainable practices in ICT acquisition in the Philippines. The seminar was very informative; I got to learn about Republic Act 12009 and why it is important when creating software or a system. But for me the major takeaway from this seminar is the whole process for planning and the decision-making. Making the process efficient and cost-effective.

My Takeaway from the online course entitled “Introduction to Visual Graphic Design”

The online course I completed was entitled “Introduction to Visual Graphic Design” and was conducted under the TESDA Online Program through the National Institute for Technical Education and Skills Development (NITESD) . The online course focuses on developing skills in creating visual designs using design principles and digital tools while applying quality standards, workplace professionalism, and knowledge of laws relevant to the ICT sector.   There are a lot of courses available under Visual Graphic Design III, but I chose to enroll in "Introduction to Visual Graphic Design" because it will help me the most right now, especially with my program, BSEMC. I am aware of other topics in this course but it's nice to remember and deepen my understanding of the principles and fundamentals. Also, a lot of the lessons here are beneficial for the practicum, such as applying quality standards and workplace professionalism. My key takeaway from this online course is that throughou...
