In this last episode of the year 2022 and Christmas edition, we interviewed Filipinas in Tech and the founders of ULAP.org. As a non-profit organization, ULAP.org wanted to motivate, prepare and guide passionate young IT aspirants by providing a neutral, trusted hub for learning and sharing cloud, IT, and innovative technologies through their scholarship programs in the Philippines. Aside from learning about ULAP.org through founders Marilag and Michelle, we also learned about their tech stories and journey from building non-profit organizations to starting up their businesses, also how they built them with the mission of leading for people and community. We also discussed the value of finding our WHYs to drive us with our goals and passion. Find out Michelle and Marilag’s advice to underrepresented groups and youth.
