PH Ambassador Highlights Digital Synergy, PH Tech Agenda in GCC-wide Convention of Filipino Electronics Engineers, Conferment Rites of ASEAN Engineers
DOHA 14 October 2024 — Her Excellency Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar Lillibeth V. Pono underscored the necessity of digital transformation at the 6th Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines (IECEP) GCC Convention and 1st Leaders’ Summit on 11 October 2024.
The event bore the theme, “Digital Synergy: Unleashing Sustainable Innovations.”
“Today’s theme is about embracing the new and making the most out of it,” Ambassador Pono said. “It is about testing the limits of the creativity and ingenuity of the Filipino engineer.”
She added that the adoption of new and emerging technologies in industries resonates with the Philippines’ agenda of promoting advanced research and development, technology, and innovation, particularly in the field of engineering.
“Under the Philippine Development Plan for the years 2023 to 2028, we aim to nurture a supportive environment for R&D, integrate creative arts and social sciences with science and technology, and support globally competitive industries and an agile workforce,” she said.
Participated in by leaders and members of IECEP chapters across the GCC region, the event featured seminars on various topics, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and tech-startups.
On the same day, Ambassador Pono took part in the conferment of 31 new Filipino ASEAN Engineers.
In her congratulatory remarks, she lauded the newly conferred ASEAN Engineers, saying, “Your years of hard work, dedication, and commitment to learning have paved the way for you to be here.”
She added, “As engineers, you do not just help build things, check the structural integrity of your projects, or assess the correctness of wiring installations. The work you do is vital in transforming lives, not just of individuals, but of communities and of nations.”
Ambassador Pono also highlighted the contribution of Filipino engineers in the development of Qatar and the broader Middle East.
“Filipino engineers have an outsized role in helping spur the economies of countries in a region beset by challenging conditions,” she said. “Renowned for their world-class talent and creativity, Filipino engineers have been instrumental — and remain to be so — in the transformation of this region into what it is today.”

In her remarks during the event, Her Excellency Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar Lillibeth V. Pono congratulated PSD for continuing to plant the seeds of excellence in Qatar-based Filipino youth for more than three decades now.
“More than three decades since its establishment, PSD remains a key pillar of the broader Filipino community in Qatar,” she said. “Its current crop of students, faculty members, administrators, and staff are proud bearers of the school’s storied past, continuing to weave the unique narrative of Filipinos on this side of the world.”
Ambassador Pono also lauded the school’s commitment in producing Filipino learners who are not only accustomed to the rigors of learning, but also possess a strong desire to contribute to Philippine nation-building.
“Sinasalamin ng mahigit tatlumpu’t-taong kasaysayan ng PSD ang mga adhikain, paninindigan, at pangarap ng mga libu-libong estudyanteng Pilipino na nagsipagtapos mula sa paaralan na ito,” she said. "Naging katuwang din ng mga OFW dito sa Qatar ang PSD sa paghubog ng kaisipan at kaalaman ng kanilang mga anak ukol sa kamalayang Pilipino.”
Attended by PSD faculty and staff, members of the Board of Trustees, students, and parents, the commemorative event featured student performances showcasing Philippine festivals, including Panagbenga, Masskara and Bailes de Luces.
