Welcoming 70 New Changemakers of Class 2027
CEBU, Philippines – Each year, PNPh conducts a comprehensive year-long selection process to identify the next cohort of students who will enter our life-changing 2.5-year program. This initiative is centered on empowerment through IT education, holistic training, and social support.
This year’s selection cycle reflects the extensive dedication of our Selection Team, with outreach spanning 8,125 Information Session Attendees, 1,239 Exam Takers, 380 Motivation Interviewees, and 211 Home Visits.
Following careful deliberation, 70 outstanding young changemakers were selected from across the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
On July 18 and 19, 2025, we officially welcomed Class 2027 at the PNPh center in Mabolo, Cebu City. Since 81% of these students hail from rural provinces, their new home in Cebu provides a vital gateway to achieving their dreams. They will pursue an Associate Degree in Computer Technology, majoring in Software Development, in partnership with the University of San Jose-Recoletos.
As the new academic year begins this August, PNPh would like to sincerely thank our valued partners: PayPal for providing essential school supplies and Synchrony for contributing hygiene kits for our incoming class.
Now in its 16th year, the PNPh program continues to forge futures and create opportunities, steadfastly advancing our mission of uplifting talented yet underserved youth throughout the Philippines.
