• Consolidation and analysis of the trend of the carbon emissions per facility of PLDT, Smart, ePLDT, and PLDT Global Inc., among other subsidiaries.

• Assisting in the monitoring and measurement of various sustainability programs and initiatives of the company.

I joined the SDG Innovation Accelerator Program for Young Professionals to get a deeper insight on the various breakthrough technologies that help companies achieve the sustainable development goals and apply my learnings in the company where I work to help make our business operations bring about positive impact in local communities and the country as a whole. With the lessons gained from the program, I am sure that the solution formulated by the team could help with the continuation of community economic activities during disasters and even disaster resilience for the betterment of the nation."
