Go Digital Philippines, working with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), facilitated the turnover of 25 laptop units to five public secondary schools in Alaminos City on Wednesday, January 21, in support of efforts to strengthen digital education at the local level. The units were donated by Huawei Philippines, in collaboration with the Aboitiz Foundation, as part of a broader nationwide initiative to support digital learning in LGUs
nationwide.
The turnover was attended by DICT officials Usec. Atty. Leandro Aguirre and Asec. Celine Dee, along with Go Digital Philippines Board of Trustee Mishy O. Co. The Local Government Unit of Alaminos, led by City Mayor Arth Bryan C. Celeste, formally received the donation together with Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Ely S. Ubaldo, who thanked the partner organizations for their support to local schools and learners.
Beyond the provision of devices, the DICT shared that it will also support the recipient schools through capacity-building and learning interventions to help teachers and students maximize the use of the laptops for instruction and skills development. This effort aligns with DICT’s Trabahong Digital initiative, specifically Project Activate under the Office for Strategic Initiatives and Industry and Competency Development, which partners with local government units to identify demand for ICT-related skills and strengthens local digital economies by pairing device distribution with targeted learning programs.
City officials and education leaders noted that the laptops will directly benefit students from the five recipient secondary schools by improving access to digital tools for learning and instruction. School heads, teachers, and students were present during the ceremony, which was organized by the Alaminos City Planning and Development Office. For Go Digital Philippines, the activity reflects its continued commitment to bridging the digital divide through collaboration with government agencies, the private sector, and local communities, helping advance inclusive digital transformation by expanding access to both digital tools and the support systems needed to use them effectively.
