The Challenge

The Strategic Imperative

In a dual economy like the Philippines, prosperity is unevenly distributed. While urban centers thrive, millions are trapped in an impossible choice.

72.3% of households in BARMM lack high-speed internet, and millions are "time-poor"—forced to choose between a daily wage and a degree.
