Cisco and PLDT Enterprise Champion a New Era of Work at Tech Week PH Cebu

The future of work is already unfolding, and it’s more connected, secure, and intelligent than ever before. This was the message of Cisco’s APJC Leader, Partner Networking Specialist, Pavel Svatos, during the second leg of Tech Week PH 2025, where PLDT Enterprise gathered business leaders, tech visionaries, and public sector stakeholders to explore how digital innovation can drive inclusive growth across the regions.

Cisco’s Pavel Svatos takes the stage at Tech Week PH Cebu to highlight how AI and cybersecurity are shaping the next era of digital transformation.

Hosted for the first time in Cebu and the greater Visayas region, PLDT Enterprise’s Tech Week PH 2025 underscored the growing importance of regional digital transformation conversations. It also signaled PLDT Enterprise’s continued momentum in bringing global tech leaders closer to local enterprises. Cisco's presence championed PLDT Enterprise’s mission to enable digital transformation in every corner of the country.  

Addressing over 1,000 participants from across Visayas, Svatos shared Cisco’s bold vision for powering the workplaces and industries of tomorrow—focusing on the convergence of AI, security, and connectivity. He spoke about how AI is changing everything, citing examples of AI-powered customer chatbots, and use cases across healthcare, logistics, and even data centers on wheels.

He stressed that companies that adapt fast will lead, while the ones that don’t will risk falling behind. The workplace also doesn’t function without a secure, intelligent network that powers seamless connectivity, zero-trust security, and real-time collaboration. As a networking and security leader, that’s what Cisco delivers—and is proud to bring to the Philippines.

Svatos underscored that while work takes place anywhere today – at offices, hospitals, stores, and even moving vehicles, many businesses still struggle with hybrid work gaps, inefficient infrastructure, and rising security risks.  

Cisco’s answer is an integrated ecosystem of AI-ready networking, cybersecurity, observability, and collaboration solutions, built to ensure digital resilience and smarter business outcomes.

Together with partners and tech innovators, PLDT Enterprise’s Tech Week PH featured Tech City—an immersive showcase of solutions, including those from Cisco, bringing to life how next-generation technologies can power industries forward.

By bringing global experts like Cisco to Visayas and Mindanao, PLDT Enterprise is actively expanding access to world-class innovation, aligning with its long-standing goal of bridging the digital divide and building a more inclusive, future-ready Philippines.

“At Cisco, our strategy is to securely connect everything to make anything possible. We’re not just connecting people, places, apps, data and things wherever our networks can reach. We’re also protecting all of this against threats, downtime, and risk and providing the underlying digital resilience that is so crucial for businesses today,” said Zaza Soriano-Nicart, Managing Director, Cisco Philippines.

Tech Week PH now moves to its final and biggest chapter in Metro Manila, where it is expected to gather the largest number of participants and deliver its most expansive showcase yet.

Stay Ahead of the Grind with the realme GT 7 Series

 

 These days, everyone has their version of ‘busy.’ Some are navigating back-to-back meetings, others are laser-focused at their desks, blocking out distractions, while many are leaving messages unread just to power through their to-do lists.

Whatever form productivity takes, one thing remains essential: a reliable, high-performance smartphone that can keep up. The realme GT 7 Series, featuring the realme GT 7 and realme GT 7T, offers powerful specs designed to keep up with the demands of the Squad’s daily grind. 

Seamless Multitasking with Flagship-Level Performance

With the Dimensity 9400e processor on the realme GT 7 and the Dimensity 8400-Max on the realme GT 7T, both devices deliver smooth, stable performance even under heavy workloads and intense gaming. Whether switching between productivity apps, checking out items from the cart, playing mobile games, watching Instagram reels, or editing the next TikTok content, the GT 7 Series handles it all easily. With up to 24GB RAM and massive storage (512GB on the realme GT 7 Dream Edition and realme GT 7, while 256GB on the realme GT 7T), users can expect lag-free performance even with multiple apps running in the background, plus ample space for large files, media, and apps.

All-Day Power for Nonstop Productivity 

The demands of a full day require a battery that won’t quit halfway. Both models pack a massive 7000mAh battery, offering up to three days of light use or 20+ hours of video playback. And for the Squad whose day is packed with meetings, the realme GT 7 Series can accommodate up to 25 hours of Zoom meetings, allowing them to take calls anytime, anywhere without worrying about their device’s battery life. When it’s time to recharge, the waiting game won’t last long, as 120W SUPERVOOC Charging gets the phone to 50% in just 15 minutes and 100% in just 40 minutes. For demanding scenarios like gaming, the Bypass Charging feature directs power straight to the motherboard, minimizing heat, reducing battery stress, and extending long-term battery health.

Built to Last

Engineered for durability, the realme GT 7 Series is equipped with the industry-first IceSense Graphene Design (the first to integrate graphene into a smartphone’s back panel), IP69, IP68, and IP66-rated dust & water resistance, and ArmorShell™ protection – all of which allow the phone to stay cool and resilient even during heavy use. The vivid 120Hz AMOLED displays on these devices ensure a smooth viewing experience and interaction. At the same time, realme’s promise of support for 4 years of major software updates and 6 years of security patches future-proofs the experience. The benefits? Smoother app performance, access to the latest features of Android, and better protection against digital threats, including data privacy breaches, giving users peace of mind and peak performance over time. 

Social-media Ready Photo and Video Output

Whether capturing a travel getaway with loved ones or documenting a project at work, fans can expect pro-grade photos and videos from the realme GT 7 Series. The high-end variant, the realme GT 7, features a flagship 50MP Sony IMX906 camera, while the realme GT 7T is equipped with a 50MP Sony IMX896 sensor, both supported by OIS and realme’s AI Travel Snap system.

Thanks to its AI Lightning Snap that captures fleeting moments – like a group jump, a moving jeepney, or even a skateboarder mid-air – in stunning detail. Paired with pre-set Travel Filters inspired by classic film looks, the Squad’s vacation photos are instantly social-ready with minimal editing required. 

Champion of Everyday Performance

Owning the realme GT 7 Series means more than having a reliable digital companion; it also signifies possessing a remarkable device that excels in performance and achievements. The latest milestones of the realme GT 7 Series speak volumes about its success. In its first three days of sales, it achieved a 650% increase compared to the previous generation of the realme GT lineup and a 490% increase in total sales. But it’s not just that. On its launch day, the realme GT 7 Series recorded a 693% growth over the realme GT 6, making it the top-selling single model by securing the highest sales for an individual model. 

These achievements reinforce the realme GT 7 Series’ status as the Squad’s favorite flagship device in its segment and prove that this smartphone isn’t just a powerhouse on paper, but also a digital champion that delivers powerful performance for everyday use. 

The feature-packed realme GT 7 is priced at PHP 37,999, while the realme GT 7T retails at PHP 29,999; both come in two sleek finishes: IceSense Black and IceSense Blue. Meanwhile, the Series’ exclusive variant, the realme GT 7 Dream Edition, is wrapped in Aston Martin’s familiar Racing Green colorway and is priced at PHP 39,999.
