Experts at fighting online scams delved into the importance of robust systems in addressing this nefarious issue, for example, good personal digital habits, frequent cross-border cooperation, regular information sharing, common-sense regulations, and an informed public. Good systems result in fewer cases of online scams, and that's something worth working for.

🇵🇭 @YSEALI alumni hosted the Youth for ChAInge workshop in Quezon City to train university students and Sangguniang Kabataan leaders on coding, robotics, and AI hackathons. This initiative fosters innovation and collaboration inspired by U.S. exchange programs. #YOUnified

[YSEALI @yseali]

“Being a YSEALI alum at YCAFE 2025 in Seoul was a journey of “Discovering Real Korea through ASEAN Eyes”. Initially, like many of my peers, my view of Korea was shaped by its vibrant pop culture, with K-pop and K-dramas being the main drivers of perception. However, this experience challenged me to look beyond the spotlight and understand the deeper dynamics of our relationship."
