About Us
Why PIPOL Was Formed
Every Filipino wants to see a better Philippines. We are no exception. With a desire to turn this into action and inspired by our personal experiences, we formed PIPOL in 2019.
We believe this can be done by planting good seeds in young Filipino minds and helping them succeed in life, especially those in the lower end of the socio-economic strata.
We also believe that technology and innovation are core strengths needed for a country’s development, hence our focus to help build a strong foundation for the youth in these areas.
We feel blessed to be living and working in Silicon Valley, one of the largest tech hubs in the world. Our hope is that we can channel resources and opportunities here to the Philippines, as our way of giving back and expressing our love for our motherland.
By doing this, we also hope to inspire other Filipinos and Filipinos-at-heart, wherever they are in the world, to share in this mission.
What We Do
We provide resources to public high schools in the Philippines that:
- Raise students’ awareness on technology-related careers
- Contribute to their technology, problem solving, critical thinking, innovation, and leadership skills
- Improve sense of responsibility and mindset of continuous learning
