The Philippines at the crossroads: Balancing environmental resilience and digital transformation [Essay]

May 5, 2025 by Jomar L. Aban, Don Eliseo Lucero-Prisno III, Jerico Bautista Ogaya, Christian Joseph N. Ong

This perspective review explores the intersection of ecoresiliency and digital progress in the Philippines, a country at the forefront of both technological innovation and climate vulnerability. Recent national and research initiatives reveal a transformative shift from centralized interventions to tech-enabled, community-led resilience strategies. Key developments include mangrove reforestation supported by geographic information system (GIS) mapping, decentralized wastewater systems enhanced by Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven precision agriculture enhancing climate adaptation. National investments in broadband infrastructure, Open Radio Access Network (RAN) deployment, smart cities, and satellite-based environmental monitoring are building a robust digital backbone to support sustainable farming, disaster preparedness, and e-governance.

Characteristics of social robots: A framework for development

Social robots hold great promise for assisting both older adults with dementia and those in good health. Yet, little is known about how people want to interact with these robots. This article introduces a framework for the key features social robots should have, based on insights from a four-month study of how seniors engage with robots through conversation and interaction. We have broken these features down into principles of robot behavior, verbal communication, and nonverbal communication, while also considering factors that affect a person’s likelihood to adopt such technology. Our findings offer a starting point for refining social robots and & developing features that truly resonate with users.
