My Takeaway from the seminar “4th Regional Cybersecurity Conference 2025”

The event I attended was the “4th Regional Cybersecurity Conference 2025”, organized by the Holy Angel University School of Computing, was held on October 3, 2025, at Holy Angel University, Angeles City, Pampanga. With the theme “CYBER SECURE GENS: Bridging Knowledge, Building Defenders Across All Ages,” the event aimed to enhance awareness and understanding of cybersecurity among participants of all generations. The conference featured a series of plenary topics, including Click Clean: Cyber Hygiene for the Hyperconnected, Human Firewalls: Secure by Design, Data Detox: Controlling What Your Apps Know About You, Patch or Perish: Staying Ahead with Cyber Upkeeps, Cloud Smart: Locking Down What You Share, and Gen Ready: Future Proofing Cyber Defenders. The event provided valuable insights into current cybersecurity practices and preventive measures. The conference was led by Ms. Carisma Caro (Conference Co-chair), Mr. Chris Almocera (Conference Chair), and Dr. Marlon I. Tayag (Dean, School of Computing).

I learned a lot about cybersecurity and how to recognize threats. I gained insight from the perspectives of a hacker and a victim of cyberattacks from various generations. I really like the topic where they teach security and data privacy tips. Such as never trust domain names and HTTPS that may result as fake website, install antivirus software, avoid popups and ads etc. 

As BSEMC students in this generation, we all know that we are vulnerable to data breaches. The media we consume presents many threats to us. Overall, I am happy for this seminar; all speakers give us a good discussion about the topic, and the flow of the program is nice also. I would say my big takeaway from the topic was the importance of being responsible and cautious in the digital world. That we should also be responsible and practice safe online habits.

The expo was held from September 3-7, 2025, 10:00am-8:00pm, at SMX Aura, Taguig City, and it will serve as the main highlight of the Philippine Creative Industries Month (PCIM) 2025. It aims to affirm the creative economy’s role in driving inclusive growth and national development. 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. From the talk and open discussion, I learned the struggle of the artist here in the Philippines. The laws developed to support and protect the culture and tradition of the artist. It also talked about our cultural festival with a business pla...

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

Image
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...
