The Department of Education (DepEd) and STI Education Services Group, Inc. (STI ESG) signed an agreement that will equip students with ICT literacy through hands-on trainings and specialized curriculum to be taught in public elementary and secondary schools nationwide.

In the agreement, the STI Mobile School is an innovative approach and auxiliary training facility for DepEd schools, providing students with a foundation on computer literacy and pertinent ICT tools that will be relevant when they pursue higher education.

In her message, Secretary Leonor Magtolis-Briones expressed her excitement for the deployment of mobile schools in remote areas. "This partnership allows us to advance at an exponential rate, with a focus on technology that will capacitate both our learners and teachers," she said.

STI faculty members will train students with applicable learning modules developed by STI in identified DepEd schools. These modules include computer concepts, application software, basic coding and programming, mobile app development, multimedia and animation tools, audio editing, and movie presentation, among others.

Hack of the Day: Tell Netflix Exactly What You Want

Wazzup Pilipinas!

“Custom-made” is the hottest lifestyle trend right now, with everything from our newsfeeds to sneakers tailored to our exact, individual tastes. The snowflakes that we all are, with Netflix even our entertainment destinations are personalized, with recommendations based on what and how we’ve watched before. If you think it’s a gimmick, just try sharing your Netflix password and allowing someone else to use your Netflix profile!

With powerful algorithms, you can help Netflix help you discover new and exciting content tailored for you.

Help Netflix personalize your experience even better by taking control: a simple thumbs-up and thumbs-down lets you shape your recommendations and provide active feedback on what you really love.

A thumbs-up tells Netflix that you like something and want to see similar suggestions and a thumbs-down says you aren’t interested in watching that title. In either case, using thumbs will help you get recommendations for the shows and movies that you want to watch. Additionally, each title will have a personalized match % catered to your unique taste. You can now teach Netflix what you like and be amazed with titles you'd love.

With this personalized rating you can get the best recommendations on Netflix for you and not have to look at shows and movies your friend, spouse or ex (God forbid) viewed. Thumbs up your guilty pleasure and the documentary you loved to get the best match in both categories. No matter what your taste is, there will always be something for you to watch.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

On April 29 to 30, Bonifacio High Street (BHS) Park will turn into one huge glamping site with loads of fun-filled activities for everyone!

If the long drive is keeping you from experiencing the great outdoors, then fret no more. Bonifacio Global City is bringing the fun closer to home with Glamping in the City – one of the newest happenings under BHS’ Summer on the Street campaign.

Glamping, the latest vacation craze, is a fusion between two words: “glamour” and “camping,” that gives travelers the chance to spend the night outdoors in comfort and luxury.

“For the very first time, a camp will be set up right smack in the middle of shops, restaurants, and other establishments. We are literally setting up a campsite in the middle of the mall. Summer camp has never been more fun!” said Sean Luarca, Fort Bonifacio Development Corporation Marketing Manager.
