00:00With technology advancing at lightning speed, the Institute of Electronics Engineers of the Philippines is celebrating its 75th annual general membership meeting, highlighting a new era of innovation, continuous learning and progress.
00:14The gathering also showcased how electronics and communications engineers play a vital role in national development, from strengthening the economy to supporting national defense.

00:26The 75th annual general membership meeting, led by the Institute of Electronic Engineers of the Philippines, highlights a new era of hope and vision towards a more progressive and innovative future.
00:40As the nation and the world continue to advance in technological innovation, IECP Inc. aims to encourage, empower and enhance the skills of every electronic professionals to lead, create and pursue continuous learning for the improvement of the environment and economy for the progress of the nation.
00:59Our organization and our profession exist because innovation is our calling and service is what we have in our heart.
01:12So guided by our public act 9292, all electronics professionals strive for excellence, strive for integrity in the practice of electronics.
01:22Now, being an electronics professional, we drive all emerging technologies, all that is now in our industry, the new one. So we help drive our economy.
01:34With the help of artificial intelligence, work in system development has become easier.
01:39But IECP President Lori Liza Bulay-Og gives this reminder when it comes to using AI.
01:45Because of AI, there are so many data that are being processed and we have been able to help. It helps us, especially in the designing. It helps us in perfecting our system.
01:57AI is just a tool for us. It's supposedly not the one that's going to really do on the designing, but we have to really do critical thinking in our design and AI is just there to help us.
02:09With the theme, Beyond 75 Years of Excellence, Electronics Engineering pioneering innovative pathways to a sustainable future,
02:18IECP showcased its mission to remain a front-runner in technological advancement using the science and principle of electronic engineering towards a balanced environment and a more secure future.
02:29In fact, Electronic and Communications Engineering, or ECE, play a vital role in national defense, such as operating the signal and radio systems of armed forces with the Philippines.
02:41They also help maintain proper temperature control in establishments, including intelligence buildings, data centers, pharmaceutical companies, and malls.
02:50Beyond control system and hardware, ECE also utilize software to monitor environmental conditions in these facilities.
02:57It likewise play a vital part in strengthening the country's economy.
03:02Meron tayong 1.9 million na mga call center agents.
03:07Yung mga call center agents na yun, nagbibuild ng ating economy.
03:11Pero yung nagpapaandar ng sistema na back office, puro ECEs yun.
03:17Itong PTV4, pagka nag-air kayo, makikita nyo yung PECE number, mga ganon, di ba?
03:27So kami yung nasa likod nyo, on the technical side palagi.
03:32Okay?
03:33So broadcast, media.
03:35Our team tried to demonstrate how ECE worked in broadcasting, where the green background transforms into a virtual studio.
03:42More than 1,300 participants, including 10 foreign chapters, joined the 75th AGM.
03:48IECEP hopes to strengthen its partnership with industry leaders for a technical skills seminar
03:53and to inspire more students to pursue careers in electronics and communications engineering.
03:59What we are trying to push in the coming years is to really strengthen the profession,
04:05strengthen our collaborations with higher education institutions,
04:12so that our professions can have good linkages with universities and colleges,
04:22and also use the student chapters to bring the profession to the senior high school and high school students.
