    As we usher in the new year, the Analytics & Artificial Intelligence Association of the Philippines is excited to share a significant development in our ongoing commitment to the responsible use of analytics and artificial intelligence (AAI) in the country. In alignment with our mission to advance the practice of AAI in the Philippines, the AAP, during its year-end members meeting last December 14, announced the formation of the "Council for Responsible Analytics & AI".

    Mr. Dominic Ligot, AAP Founding Member and Trustee, serves as the council's inaugural chair. He is joined by various AAP members dedicated to professional ethics across various fields: Prof. Benito Teehankee, Prof. Peter Sy and Ms. Maricel Calhoun from the academic sector; Mr. Miguelito De Guzman from the AI safety research community; and Ms. Yvonne Lorraine Valencia and Ms. Frances Divina Egango from the private sector.




    Recognizing the dual potential of AAI for positive impact and potential risks, the committee will focus on various programs and activities that will include public statements, policy papers, press articles, seminars, and collaborations with like-minded organizations including government agencies.

    This initiative underscores AAP's proactive approach to ensuring the responsible and ethical use of AAI for societal benefit while mitigating potential risks. We invite all AAP members, as well as the entire analytics and AI community, to actively support and engage with the council as we embark on this significant journey.

    Stay tuned for updates, and let's collectively shape the future of responsible analytics and artificial intelligence in the Philippines!

    As part of women’s history month, Dr. Reina Reyes is celebrated in a new book about modern Pinay heroes, "Fearless Filipinas: 12 Women Who Dared to be Different."


    Filipino history has a pantheon of great Filipina leaders, such as Gabriela Silang and Melchora Aquino. In addition to these historical heroes, there are many modern Filipino women who have succeeded spectacularly in their respective fields, broken the glass ceiling, and still strive to give back to their communities.

    These Filipinas deserve to have their stories documented at length, so that other women can gain inspiration from not only what they achieved, but how they overcame the many obstacles that once stood in their way. Such was the spirit behind the new book, "Fearless Filipinas: 12 Women Who Dared to be Different," which features the story of none other than a valuable AAP partner, Dr. Reina Reyes.

    Known of course for confirming Einstein’s theory of relativity, Dr. Reina was one of only twelve women featured in the book, and notably the only astrophysicist. She shared her story beginning as a young child who loved science, all the way up to the present day, where she is not only one of the world’s most accomplished astrophysicists, but a leading science advocate in the Philippines.

    The women featured in Fearless Filipinas span a broad range of fields, including entertainment, sports, academe, arts, business, and more. According to the book’s editorial team, Dr. Reina was chosen to represent science both for her individual accomplishments as well as her advocacy work.

    “I can’t think of a bigger headline than ‘The Filipina who proved Einstein right.’ But what really makes Dr. Reina’s story remarkable is that on top of making ground-breaking contributions to astrophysics, she actively promotes the joy of science to the next generation of leaders in the Philippines,” said Pancho Dizon, the co-author of Fearless Filipinas, which was published by Bookshelf PH, which specializes in in titles in business, education, and other genres.

    Fearless Filipinas was written by Monica Padillo, Pancho Dizon, and Mica Magsanoc; edited by Kyle Nate; and illustrated by Chloe Gaw.

    Fearless Filipinas is slated for the release at the end of March, and is available for pre-order here: [Pre-Order].
