In a world rapidly shaped by innovation, coding, and connectivity, one truth stands clear—the future of technology must be inclusive.
As part of its Women’s Month initiative, Eulap Digital Corporation led a meaningful dialogue through a special event entitled “She Codes the Future: Lead, Innovate, Inspire” held at Green Valley College Foundation on March 22, 2025. The program featured a panel of exceptional women whose stories, leadership, and lived experiences painted a powerful picture of what it means to be a woman in tech today.
Moderated by Clint Junsay, Eulap’s Vice President for Marketing and Communications, the panel opened a conversation that many young women in the audience needed to hear.
“The tech industry is not exclusive for men,” Junsay said.
“Women can take up space—and make it big here. That’s what today is about: recognizing that intelligence, leadership, and innovation are not defined by gender. They are defined by purpose, vision, and heart.”
The forum drew students, educators, digital professionals, and advocates who gathered to listen, learn, and engage. Each speaker brought something unique to the conversation—different paths, different perspectives, but one shared mission: to dismantle the barriers that have long defined tech as a male-dominated field.
Among the panelists were:
- Roxanne Calo, Information Technology Officer of SDO Koronadal City Division, who highlighted the crucial role of public institutions in opening digital pathways for girls in basic education.
- Arianne Cari-an, Software Engineer I at Eulap, whose early exposure to coding blossomed into a promising career—a reminder of how access and encouragement at a young age can change a life.
- Lourdes Rendon, CEO of Netspot Direct Corp., who shared her journey from startup founder to tech executive, challenging the stereotype that women cannot lead in high-stakes tech environments.
- Regine Palara, IT Faculty at Green Valley College, who spoke about her experiences in academic technology, and how she encourages her female students to stay curious and confident.
- Hannah Parcon, IIDB Focal Person of DICT Region XII, who shed light on government efforts to promote gender inclusivity and innovation-driven programs across the country.
- Fransie Montiel, Senior Software Engineer at Eulap, who shared her growth from backend development to leading software projects with impact—proof that leadership begins with quiet excellence.
More than a forum, “She Codes the Future” served as a mirror for young women in the audience—reflecting what is possible when opportunity meets empowerment.
Beyond the achievements of the speakers, the heart of the program was its message: women belong in tech, not just as participants, but as pioneers.
Hosted by Mary Nicole Grajo, the program moved with depth, clarity, and a shared sense of urgency. As Grajo introduced each speaker, the audience responded with attentiveness—an indication that this dialogue was long overdue and deeply necessary.
The event was made possible through the support and partnership of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), DIWA, ICT Industry Development Bureau (IIDB), Koronadal ICT Council, South Cotabato ICT Council, SPEED IT, and Eulap Digital Corporation.
As a company built on innovation, Eulap believes that true progress means no one gets left behind. That’s why women empowerment is not a one-off campaign—it is embedded in the way we work, lead, and design our future.
In celebrating Women’s Month, we do more than honor the accomplishments of women—we affirm their right to dream, to lead, and to code the future.
