Davao City, Philippines — September 30, 2025 – After four years of virtual collaboration, eduCLaaS made a vibrant return to Davao City for its first face-to-face engagement with the Philippine Women’s College (PWC) of Davao since their partnership began in 2021. The visit centered on advancing AI-powered, outcome-based learning solutions that equip Filipino students and professionals to thrive in a digital-first world. The warm hospitality and active participation from PWC representatives reflected a shared commitment to driving educational transformation through innovation and collaboration.
 
A key highlight of the visit was a compelling one-hour keynote delivered by Leslie Loh, Founder & CEO of Lithan eduCLaaS, titled “Agentic Adaptive CLaaS® for a Skills-First Future of Learning.” The session addressed the urgent need to bridge the digital divide and reduce inequality across Asia. Through the Agentic Adaptive CLaaS® model, an AI-powered, personalized learning approach, eduCLaaS connects education with employability by empowering learners through competency-based, project-driven, and hybrid-flexible learning. This model allows learners to gain industry-relevant experience without compromising their work-life balance.
Throughout the session, Leslie also shared concrete examples of how eduCLaaS’ Work-Study Bachelor’s Degree programs in Software Engineering and Digital Business enable learners to start working after just one year and graduate with both a degree and real-world experience. Following this, he introduced the Lifelong Applied Digital University, designed to help individuals continuously reskill through AI-powered adaptive curricula.
“This visit goes beyond a face-to-face engagement—it’s about strengthening partnerships and driving innovation in education,” said Leslie, CEO of eduCLaaS. “Together with institutions like PWC, we’re enabling students to learn faster, apply their skills in real projects, and achieve tangible career outcomes.”
The agenda was a milestone moment that capped off a six-day trip and four days of strategic meetings across the Philippines. It marks a renewed chapter in eduCLaaS’ collaboration with Philippine institutions, reinforcing its mission to deliver affordable, outcome-based, and work-integrated learning across Asia. It also underscores eduCLaaS’ continued commitment to scaling AI-powered, skills-first education that empowers Filipino learners to stay ahead in the digital workforce.
PWC of Davao played an exceptional role as host, earning sincere appreciation for the unwavering commitment to advancing digital transformation in education. Through the strong commitment, this collaboration continues to inspire the expansion of skills-first learning across the Philippines. “I would like to extend my gratitude for the visit and the very enlightening discussion. I believe this collaboration helps us explore how we can ensure our programs remain relevant and responsive to the needs of the country,” said Prof. Vicente Antonio V. Pijano III, Chancellor and COO at PWC. “We look forward to further collaborate in designing training programs not only for current students, but also for trainees, alumni, and future graduates.”

About Philippine Women’s College of Davao 
In 1919, the visionary couple Dean Conrado Benitez and Francisca Tirona Benitez founded in Manila the Philippine Women’s College (now the Philippine Women’s University). In time, their vision of women’s education would transcend the boundaries of Manila and reach south of the archipelago. PWC alumnae from Mindanao saw the need to spread and promote the educational objectives of their Alma Mater among the young people of Mindanao. This idea became a reality when the PWU Board of Trustees approved the plan to put up the Philippine Women’s College of Davao (PWC), which eventually opened its doors to students in 1953.

A Bold Step Toward the Future: eduCLaaS Unveils Agentic CLaaS® for an AI-Powered Adaptive Learning at Global Launch Live Hybrid Event in the Philippines

SHARE THIS:

Makati City, Philippines – August 6, 2025 – eduCLaaS marked a major milestone in the evolution of AI-powered education with the global launch of its Agentic CLaaS® platform, unveiled during a landmark hybrid event at The City Garden Grand Hotel in Makati City and streamed live via Zoom.
 
Attended by thought leaders, education experts, and industry professionals, Agentic CLaaS® is designed for universities to accelerate their transformation into Lifelong Applied Digital Institutions and for enterprises to reimagine workforce learning and development (L&D) as AI-first organizations. Agentic CLaaS® delivers hyper-personalized, job-aligned learning journeys—what eduCLaaS calls “Batch of One”—to equip learners with the exact skills demanded by a fast-changing digital economy.
Morning Plenary: Vision, Strategy, and Technology Foundations
The event opened with a forward-looking keynote by Leslie Loh, Founder & CEO of Lithan eduCLaaS, exploring the accelerating impact of AI and automation on industries, emphasizing that traditional “one-size-fits-all” education models cannot keep pace. Instead, he championed adaptive, personalized learning ecosystems as essential for workforce resilience and career agility.
“Every learner deserves a Batch of One journey—continuously evolving with their goals and the demands of the job market,” said Leslie. “Agentic CLaaS® makes this possible by combining AI-powered personalization with scalable delivery, enabling both universities and enterprises to stay competitive in the AI era.”
Following this, Leslie presented the Agentic CLaaS®, detailing how the system, built on Microsoft’s Power Platform, enables modular, role-based customization, continuous diagnostics, and real-time mentorship through its LEARN AI model (Learn, Evaluate, Adjust, Reinforce, Next Step). He also outlined a transformation blueprint demonstrating how institutions and enterprises can serve diverse learners with flexible, stackable micro-credentials aligned to frameworks such as SkillsFuture and ESCO, enabling continuous, industry-relevant upskilling for both academic and corporate environments.
Krishnamoorthy Ramoo, Co-Founder & COO, then took the stage to showcase how organizations can embed upskilling into daily operations, automate learning pathways, and shift from reliance on external providers to building internal, AI-enabled digital capabilities. He underscored the platform’s capacity to deliver role-specific, performance-driven education through backward curriculum design and the 70:20:10 learning integration model.
The morning concluded with a live demonstration of Agentic CLaaS®’s integrated tools—CLaaS® Developer for automated curriculum design, CLaaS® Mentor for AI-guided learning support, CLaaS® Curriculum for ready-to-deploy, job-aligned content, and CLaaS® Manager for operational automation and analytics—revealing how the platform personalizes learning journeys while streamlining institutional and corporate training operations.
Afternoon Sessions: Application and Strategic Deployment
The afternoon program shifted focus from vision to execution, featuring practical applications and strategic roadmaps led by Leslie Loh. Attendees saw how Agentic CLaaS® has been deployed to enable scalable, adaptive upskilling at an enterprise level.
This was followed by a digital maturity assessment & practices roadmap, where Leslie outlined a step-by-step framework for organizations to evaluate current capabilities and define AI-first transformation priorities. He also provided concrete models for embedding AI-powered learning into workforce onboarding and development cycles, along with actionable pathways to implement Agentic CLaaS® in both academic and enterprise contexts.
A Dual Impact: Universities and Enterprises in the AI Era
Agentic CLaaS® stands as a comprehensive solution for two critical transformations. For universities, it enables the shift toward Lifelong Applied Digital Institutions—serving students, working professionals, and adult learners through adaptive, industry-aligned pathways that boost employability. For enterprises, it redefines L&D by embedding continuous, AI-powered skills development into business operations, enabling scalable upskilling that aligns directly with evolving job requirements.
From Makati to the world, the launch event demonstrated that the future of education and work is not about mass delivery—it is about personalized, scalable, AI-driven learning ecosystems that prepare every learner, and every organization, for sustained success in the AI-first economy.

A Shared Vision with eduCLaaS to Champion Future-Ready Education and Digital Talent Development in the Philippines

News and Announcements

Baliuag University Celebrates its 100th Year: A Shared Vision with eduCLaaS to Champion Future-Ready Education and Digital Talent Development in the Philippines Through Ongoing Partnership

SHARE THIS:

On July 3, 2025, the university hosted its first EdTech Day, with eduCLaaS as a strategic partner and key sponsor.
 
The event served as both a celebration of the university’s legacy and a forward-looking showcase of how it is transforming higher education in the Philippines by integrating future-ready skills, digital platforms, and real-world learning pathways.
EdTech Day welcomed over 700 attendees who participated in a high-impact EdTech Day filled with tech-powered exhibits and thought leadership talks aimed at exploring the evolving role of digital innovation in education.
During the welcome address, the president of Baliuag University, Dr. Patricia B. Lagunda emphasized the institution’s forward-looking vision, stating: “Baliuag University has always been about quality education that transforms lives, and today, we’re doubling down on our commitment to technology and innovation-driven learning.”
eduCLaaS Founder and CEO, Mr. Leslie Loh, delivered a keynote titled “AI and the Future of Learning and Work,” addressing the impact of AI on education and workforce.
Mr.Loh emphasized the accelerating pace of digital disruption, Citing Walt Disney’s vision of the future, Mr. Loh noted that by 2026, only 50 people may be needed to produce what took 500 a decade ago—thanks to AI tools like Toonstar which now enable the creation of full animated episodes 80% faster and 90% cheaper than industry norms.
“The pandemic has accelerated digital transformation by seven years,” Mr. Loh noted, referencing a McKinsey study that foresees the workplace requiring 55% more technological skills than today. He stressed that such rapid change demands a new approach to learning and talent development.
“Traditional one-size-fits-all educational models can no longer keep up with the speed of change,” Mr.Loh said. “Students today are being prepared for jobs that may not even exist by the time they graduate. Rather than competing with AI, they must learn to collaborate with it.”
The event also reinforced the ongoing Baliuag University x eduCLaaS dual-track program, which combines CHED-recognized academic curriculum with eduCLaaS’s digital bootcamps and paid apprenticeships.
This innovative model addresses the growing demand for job-ready graduates who possess both local academic credentials and globally competitive skills through work-integrated project-based learning.
The program equips SHS/K–12 graduates with real-world industry experience and a professional portfolio through a flexible, skills-first pathway that leads to a fully CHED recognized bachelor’s degree from Baliuag University—ensuring career readiness, public sector eligibility, and access to further academic opportunities.
This partnership between eduCLaaS and Baliuag University blends academic legacy with innovation and tech-driven learning, setting a new standard for future-ready education that bridges the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world employability.

From Traditional Education to Digital Success

From Traditional Education to Digital Success: JM’s Journey with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

Breaking Free from the Traditional Education System
For many students in the Philippines, the traditional education system is the default path—long semesters, rigid curriculums, and uncertain job prospects after graduation. John Michael (JM) Anico was initially on this path, pursuing a degree in Medical Technology at the University of Cebu. However, he soon realized that the traditional route came with challenges: high competition, financial strain, and subjects that didn’t always align with his career goals.
 
“I wanted to be in the medical field, but when I think about the traditional way of learning, it’s going to take a lot of time and money. In healthcare, it’s not guaranteed that you’ll get a job—it’s oversaturated and doesn’t pay well.”
 
JM’s turning point came when he discovered eduCLaaS, a work-integrated learning platform that offered a faster, more practical alternative to a traditional degree.
The Challenge: Balancing Academics, Finances, and Future Goals
Like many students, JM faced financial pressures and the need to gain real-world experience while studying. Traditional universities often require years of coursework before students can even begin internships, delaying their entry into the workforce.
 
Additionally, despite the fact JM was deeply involved in student organizations, where he developed leadership and creative skills—he knew he needed industry-aligned skills to stand out in the job market.
 
“In student organizations, I started as a trainee and grew into leadership roles. But I realized that to succeed professionally, I needed more than just extracurricular experience—I needed industry skills.”
 
When JM considered continuing his Medical Technology degree, he hit a wall. The program demanded 4+ years of study with no income, followed by fierce competition for jobs. The traditional path suddenly felt like a gamble—one he couldn’t afford.
The Solution: eduCLaaS’s Work-Study Model
When JM joined eduCLaaS, he found our bachelor’s degree program that combined hands-on learning with real job experience captivating. Unlike traditional schooling, eduCLaaS’s bachelor’s degree allowed him to:
  • Earn while learning, reducing financial strain.
  • Gain industry certifications (like Facebook (Meta) and HubSpot) that boosted his resume and employability.
  • Work on real projects as a marketing associate from his second year, giving him a competitive edge.
The boot camp’s practical approach was a game-changer. Instead of passive lectures, JM engaged in live exercises, campaign creation, strategy optimization and more—skills he could immediately apply in his apprenticeship.
 
“The most valuable part was the practical experience. We didn’t just learn theory—we did live campaigns, analyzed results, and optimized strategies. That’s how I really understood digital marketing.”
Career and Learning Progress: From Student to Marketing Professional
Landing his apprenticeship as a Marketing Associate at eduCLaaS was just the beginning for JM. The real transformation happened when he started applying his classroom knowledge to real business challenges—something traditional students rarely experience before graduation.
 
  • Campaign Creation: JM took charge of designing and optimizing paid ad campaigns, moving from theory to execution.
” My experience was mostly all about campaigns. It’s entertaining to segregate budgets, place creatives, and analyze results. I went from knowing nothing to owning entire campaigns.”
 
  • Team Collaboration: During his apprenticeship, JM learned to adapt to diverse leadership styles while sharpening his technical skills.
“In the longer run, with different instructors in eduCLaaS or different managers that I’ve had. They had different instructions, they guided me differently, but it all actually helped. So, in another way, they actually helped me develop my skills on campaign creations and on social media.”
JM’s Advice for Future Students
For students hesitant about stepping away from traditional education, JM’s message is clear:
“Sometimes our plans don’t always work out, but the world has different opportunities for us. If an opportunity comes your way—even if you don’t know how to do it yet—take it, learn, and grow.”

From Seafaring Dreams to Digital Realities

From Seafaring Dreams to Digital Realities: Bryan’s Unexpected Pivot with eduCLaaS

SHARE THIS:

For Bryan Francis Octaviano Encarnacion, the sea was once his dream. As a Senior High School student on the marine strand, his plan was crystal clear: become a seafarer through a Norwegian scholarship, travel the world, and build a stable career. But life had different plans. When the scholarship didn’t come through, Bryan found himself at a crossroads—unsure of what to do next.
 
That’s when he discovered eduCLaaS.
 
“I never thought I’d end up in tech. Maritime was my plan for years, and when that fell through, I was lost. But when eduCLaaS came to my school, it was like a door opened out of nowhere. I didn’t know what I was getting into, but I had this curiosity about technology and design—and that curiosity changed everything.”
Why He Didn’t Choose the Traditional Path
While his shift away from maritime might seem like a change of heart, Bryan’s decision was largely shaped by financial reality. Without a scholarship, university tuition felt out of reach, and he wasn’t ready to commit to another uncertain career path. But there was something about eduCLaaS that made sense: it was affordable, future-forward, and offered practical learning with a clear line of sight to employment.
 
Instead of spending years in lecture halls, Bryan saw an opportunity to learn by doing, in a way that felt more aligned with how he wanted to grow.
The Hands-On Path that Rewired His Thinking
Starting out in a tech course with no background in IT wasn’t easy. The first few modules of the BSIT major in Software Engineering hit hard—Bryan describes it as a culture shock. The shift from marine lessons to coding logic and assessments was jarring. But that shock soon turned into growth.
 
“I didn’t expect it to be this challenging. The first module was rough, and the assessments pushed me to my limits. But that struggle taught me discipline, focus, and most importantly, how to think and communicate like a professional. You can’t just deliver 80% in the real world—companies expect you to show up with excellence.”
 
The program taught him more than just technical skills—it reshaped his mindset. From understanding how to interact with supervisors to writing emails and collaborating on projects, Bryan learned the nuances of professionalism in a remote corporate environment.
From the Outside, It Looks Easy—But It’s Not
Bryan’s friends in traditional universities often joke about how lucky he is to study from home. They envy the flexibility, the lack of commute, and the autonomy. But Bryan is quick to clarify that his path isn’t easier—just different.
 
While they memorize theories, he’s out there solving real-world problems. While they prepare for midterms, he’s building portfolios and practicing mock interviews. The pressure is different, but the learning is deep and immersive.
 
“They think I’m chilling at home, but the reality is, I’m facing a completely different kind of challenge. I’m working on actual deliverables, following deadlines, presenting my work, and learning how to think critically. This isn’t spoon-fed education—it’s professional preparation.”

Redefining the Path: Dharma’s Journey Beyond Traditional Learning

SHARE THIS:

Rising from Uncertainty and Natural Disasters
Kadek Dharma Prana Wangsa grew up in Bali, Indonesia—surrounded by serene coastlines and the creative energy of coffee shops and music. But behind the calm exterior, his journey was shaped by challenges many would find overwhelming.
 
After facing a series of setbacks—including a volcanic eruption and the global COVID-19 pandemic—Dharma’s family found themselves in a tough financial situation. At the same time, the sudden shift to online learning during high school added to his struggle.
 
“The learning process was a bit hard at first because you don’t have a real-time mentor to ask… No, let’s just be real—it’s better to have it offline rather than online in my opinion.”
 
Despite these obstacles, Dharma stayed diligent. He wasn’t the loudest or most standout student, but he worked quietly and consistently toward something more.
Rethinking the Traditional Path
Upon graduating from Senior High School, Dharma found himself at a crossroads. The conventional path in Bali mirrors much of Southeast Asia: finish high school, go to university for four years, complete an internship, and then secure a job. Dharma initially chose this direction. He even applied to a traditional university.
   
“I didn’t choose it right away. I was still leaning toward the normal university path.”
 
His mindset changed after a long conversation with his father, who emphasized the importance of practical work experience and the inefficiencies of a purely academic route.
 
“He made me realize how difficult it would be to succeed without experience. That’s when I started considering eduCLaaS seriously.”
 
Ultimately, two key factors swayed his decision: the promise of strong future career prospects and the encouragement of his family. The Digital Business program he enrolled in would offer not just academic knowledge but the chance to gain real-world experience early.
From Zero Experience to Project-Ready
What made Dharma’s journey unique wasn’t just his choice to buck tradition—it was how he started. When he joined eduCLaaS, he had never touched a personal laptop before. His first exposure to a digital workspace happened on the same day as his first class.
 
“It was a nervous moment. Everything was digital, and I had no background at all. Even though I had zero experience, my classmates and mentor made the transition smooth.”
 
The program structure—modular, project-based, and condensed—helped him stay engaged in ways that traditional semester-based formats never did. Each module offered a fresh start and a new challenge, allowing him to focus on one topic at a time.
Learning by Doing: Dharma’s Turning Point
Instead of feeling overwhelmed, Dharma quickly adapted thanks to the supportive mentors and classmates. The hands-on projects turned challenges into learning moments—especially one key project that, with guidance, became his strongest asset in job interviews. What once felt intimidating became the foundation of his success.
 
“Even though I had zero experience, the practical project became my strongest bullet during interviews.”
 
He especially struggled with the omnichannel module, which required integrating various marketing tools like Meta Ads, HubSpot, and WordPress. But with guidance from his mentor and collaboration with classmates, Dharma turned things around and completed a successful project.
Early Career Success—and Ambition for More
Dharma’s success didn’t end with program completion. He began his journey as a Marketing Associate, applying what he learned in real-world settings. Today, even before graduating, he holds a position many fresh graduates aspire to: Digital Marketing Executive. He attributes his rapid career progress to the skills and confidence he gained through eduCLaaS.
 
But Dharma is far from complacent. His eyes are already set on his next goal: becoming a Digital Marketing Manager.
 
“In the future, well, for now I have achieved one of my goals—to be promoted into a Digital Marketing Executive. Of course, I want to become a manager someday. But first, I need to learn everything about my current role. There’s still so much more I want to understand.”
 
His approach remains rooted in humility and continuous growth—a quality that sets him apart in a world obsessed with quick wins.
Advice to Future Learners
Looking back on his journey, Dharma has one piece of advice for students considering a non-traditional path:
 
“No matter how good the program is, it won’t work if the dedication doesn’t come from you. I’ve seen students fail—not because the program was lacking, but because they didn’t give their full effort.”

Kadek Dharma’s journey—from laptop novice to Digital Marketing Executive—shows what’s possible when determination meets opportunity. In a world where traditional degrees are no longer the only path to success, his story is a powerful example of how a different approach can lead to faster, more meaningful career outcomes.

From Conventional Paths to Courageous Choices

From the Usual to the Unexpected: Sajatha’s Breakthrough in Digital Business

SHARE THIS:

From Conventional Paths to Courageous Choices
For many students in Sri Lanka, the post-high school route is straightforward: complete your A-levels, then pursue a university degree abroad. This was the case for Sajatha’s siblings and peers—but not for him.
“I had done my A levels and got pretty good results… I was considering options, you know, checking out universities and seeing where I could go. Then I got this phone call from my local campus about this work-study degree. It was pretty new to Sri Lanka.”
 
While the traditional bachelor’s degree route meant going overseas, Sajatha saw something different in the eduCLaaS Digital Business program: an opportunity to gain real-world experience while earning a globally recognized degree. But it wasn’t without concern.
 
“There were no other batches above us doing Digital Business. It was a big risk… We even contacted University of Roehampton to verify it was legit.” But the work-study model, lower costs, and ability to be financially independent convinced him—and his parents—that this path was worth pursuing.
 
So, what made him say yes?
  1. Real-world experience before graduation
    “Most companies now look for work experience more than the degree itself. This gave me a big advantage.”
  2. Financial independence
    “From the second year onwards, I paid for my own tuition… I wanted to take that burden off my parents.”
  3. Pandemic-proof learning
    “After COVID, traveling to a university seemed impossible. This gave me flexibility without disruption.”
A Learning Experience That Actually Feels Real
From his very first orientation week, Sajatha was struck by how different this was from traditional learning. His classes were filled with hands-on projects, practical scenarios, and interactive mentors.
 
One standout experience? A marketing simulation project.
 
“Our mentor made us believe we were launching a real cafe business. We created social media profiles, built a website, and developed a marketing strategy. It felt real—and that’s what made it so effective.”
 
He especially struggled with SEO at first—until he applied it in practice.
 
“SEO is quite hard to understand if you just rely on theory. But going into the backend, inserting keywords into blogs… that helped everything click.”
Skills That Set His Career in Motion
Among all the skills he learned, one platform became pivotal in his career: HubSpot.
 
“We were introduced to HubSpot during bootcamp. Since then, I’ve been working with it at my job. It’s helped me grow so much professionally.”
 
And the flexibility of the program helped him solve even logistical challenges. When time zone differences caused him to miss important lessons, he and a fellow Sri Lankan student coordinated with eduCLaaS to adjust their schedules to avoid missing core content—a change traditional universities would rarely accommodate.
From Marketing Associate to Executive: Navigating the Next Level
Sajatha’s journey didn’t stop after the bootcamp. Once he secured his first role as a Marketing Associate, the real challenge began—translating what he learned into consistent performance in the workplace. At first, he struggled to keep up with the fast pace and the level of independence expected from him.
 
“I had the foundation, but there was still so much to learn on the job—tools, deadlines, client expectations.” The pressure was real, and imposter syndrome crept in. But instead of letting it overwhelm him, he leaned into the same hands-on approach that had worked during his bootcamp.
 
He revisited his eduCLaaS project materials, rewatched LinkedIn Learning modules provided during the program, and even reached out to mentors when he hit roadblocks. Most importantly, he brought a problem-solving mindset to work—taking ownership of digital campaigns, experimenting with strategies, and tracking performance data using HubSpot, a tool he had already mastered during training.
 
That proactive attitude paid off.
 
Within months, Sajatha’s work began turning heads. He wasn’t just executing tasks—he was analyzing results, suggesting improvements, and delivering real impact. That growth mindset, combined with real-world readiness, earned him a promotion to Digital Marketing Executive even before graduating from the program.
Looking Ahead: Dreams of Building Something of His Own
Now working as a Digital Marketing Executive, Sajatha is already thinking bigger.
 
“In five years, I want to open my own marketing agency. I’ll start small—maybe with some trusted colleagues—and gradually build a client base. Eventually, I want to step away from full-time work and manage my own business.”
 
His advice to other students?
 
That proactive attitude paid off.
 
“Don’t just accept the first company that hires you. If you don’t match their values, it’ll be a waste of time. Find work that you love, with a company you align with.”
