Mandaluyong City, Philippines — June 1, 2026 — Leaders of the Philippine Society for Quality (PSQ) joined government, business, technology, education, and industry leaders at the National AI & Skills Summit 2026, held at the EDSA Shangri-La Hotel in Mandaluyong City.

PSQ was represented by Dr. Zandra N. Maningas, President; Dr. Rey B. Fremista, Chair of the PSQ Advisory Council; and Jubie S. Tamayo, Trustee, who were invited to participate in the national dialogue on artificial intelligence, workforce transformation, skills development, and the future of Philippine competitiveness.

Hosted by Viventis Search Asia in partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), the one-day summit convened national leaders, CEOs, global technology pioneers, educators, and public-sector decision-makers to examine how artificial intelligence can be responsibly embedded across the Philippine economy. The summit emphasized moving beyond AI concepts toward implementation, adoption, workforce readiness, and measurable national and enterprise outcomes.

Key discussions explored building an AI-ready Philippines, preparing Filipinos for the AI economy, AI-embedded workplaces, the future of work, skills intelligence, ethical and responsible AI adoption, and the country's position in the emerging global AI economy. The summit's objectives also included strengthening governance frameworks, aligning education with emerging AI demands, and accelerating workforce transformation.

PSQ's participation reflects the Society's continuing commitment to keeping the quality profession responsive to emerging technologies and the rapidly changing world of work. As AI increasingly transforms how organizations make decisions, improve processes, develop people, and create value, quality professionals have an important role in ensuring that adoption is anchored on responsibility, governance, human capability, continuous improvement, and organizational excellence.

Through engagements such as the National AI & Skills Summit 2026, PSQ continues to strengthen its contribution to national conversations that shape the future of quality, leadership, innovation, and competitiveness in the Philippines.

Quality must evolve with technology. As organizations become increasingly AI-enabled, PSQ remains committed to helping build a future where innovation and excellence advance together.

August 11, 2026 | Virtual via Zoom — The Philippine Society for Quality (PSQ) continued to advance digital thinking and data-driven excellence through its complimentary live webinar, “We Don’t Need More Data: Building Intelligent Systems for Better Decisions,” facilitated by Carlo Carbonell, Deputy Lead of the PSQ Innovation & Digital Thinking Hub and Founder of Spreadsheet Magic. The webinar challenged organizations to move beyond simply collecting and reporting data toward building systems intentionally designed to enable better decisions and meaningful action.

Carbonell emphasized a decision-first approach, encouraging participants to establish direction and identify the decisions that matter before determining what data and dashboards are needed. He introduced the DECIDE Framework: Direction, Essential Decision, Critical Data, Interpret, Drive Action, and Evaluate, providing participants with a practical structure for transforming organizational data into actionable intelligence.

The session also explored the evolution from data collection and reporting to decision support and intelligent systems, highlighting that while dashboards can reveal signals, effective systems must translate those signals into action and feedback. Carbonell further discussed the growing role of artificial intelligence while underscoring the importance of analytical thinking, context, verification, and responsible human judgment in AI-enabled decision-making.

Through initiatives such as this webinar, PSQ reinforces its commitment to equipping quality professionals and organizational leaders with contemporary approaches to quality, innovation, digital transformation, and evidence-based decision-making.
