The halls were jampacked. Indie and uprising bands blasting in the background, students waiting in queue, and communities came together. Nexus Academia became a center where music, gaming, arts, and community would collide into a new frontier.
For two days, students and young professionals came together to allow their passions to climb to new levels. There were moments of discovery and fun, brought to life by partners, community members, artists, hobbyists, gamers, and musicians.
OPM Serenades
OPM from indie to P-pop took center stage in the halls of Nexus Academia. The acts included artists Stella, Icy D, The Ridleys, PAHAM, Jerome Banaay, Cozyivy, Cleon, EYJI, AVI, As Far As We Know, Saintvvi, and many more.
There was never a moment without music filling the entire convention hall. Many found their new favorite artists as others danced through their favorite songs. SUD then capped off the event with a couple of their hits.
Community First
Attendees that entered Nexus Academia were greeted by community partner stalls that lined the venue on all sides. From tattoo artists to stalls from Gamer Girls Philippines, PIXEL by Eplayment, Combo Interactive, ALTF4, Peculiar Eyewear. Aezer, Pocky, Gnarly, Vybe, Bezel, TT Racing and more.
In one corner were those lined up at the food and drink stalls, and in another, those competing in board game tournaments or battling it out in Tekken and Streetfighter. Elsewhere, teams formed to play in friendly 5v5 in Honor of Kings matches, as well as the Jollibee’s Chickenjoy Big Bucket Game. The event became a melting pot of various communities where anyone could find an interest sphere to interact with.
The New Frontier
Produced by Tier One Entertainment, Nexus Academia became a step towards the new frontier that allows gaming, music, and arts to exist in one event. It was the first event that the organization mounted to further bring communities together in new and exciting ways.
“For years, Tier One Entertainment’s focus has been the gaming industry, from developing top tier talents to making a mark in the Esports world cup through Blacklist International, we’re more than proud of what we have achieved in almost a decade. However, we see that the future has to be beyond gaming. Today, gamers are not just playing anymore, they listen to music, they appreciate different forms of art, we have evolved and so has the vision of Tier One Entertainment. As we enter the next chapter, the next frontier is gaming music and arts.” – Tryke Gutierrez, CEO of Tier One Entertainment
If Nexus Academia was the start, next up is BLACKOUT Manila.
BLACKOUT Manila will be the culmination of Tier One Entertainment’s desire to be at the new frontier of gaming, music, and arts. BLACKOUT MANILA is not just a festival. It’s a declaration that gamers can be artists, that art can thrive digitally, and that music can be a movement.

HL Accelerator Secures Landmark Partnership for HL Pilipinas 1st Anniversary Summit After persistent advocacy from the Filipino HighLevel community, HighLevel Inc has officially agreed to support and sponsor one of the Philippines’ digital workforce development initiatives. The HL Pilipinas 1st Anniversary Summit, happening this Sunday, August 10, represents a breakthrough moment for Filipino freelancers and the nation’s digital economy goals.
Strategic Government Partnership Drives National Impact
Organized by HL Accelerator headed by Jay-Cee “Cece” Tan and Diana “Dea” Panganiban, the summit is co-organized by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) through its ICT Industry Development Bureau (IIDB) in collaboration with the Quezon City Local Government. The opening program will feature Atty. Leandro Angelo Aguirre of DICT, Quezon City Administrator Mr. Michael Victor N. Alimurung and Dir Emmy Lou V. Delfin, Director IV of ICT Industry Development Bureau, demonstrating full government support for this initiative.
The event directly supports the Empowering Digital Workers of the Gig Industry Ecosystem in the Philippines (EDGE PH) Program, aligning with DICT’s ambitious 8 Million Digital Jobs by 2028 roadmap. With 1,000 to 1,500 Filipino freelancers, digital workers, and SaaS agency builders expected to attend, the summit showcases how community-driven innovation can scale inclusive job creation across the archipelago.
One Year of Remarkable Growth
Since launching in 2024, HL Pilipinas has become one of the largest Filipino-led Highlevel communities dedicated to certifying professionals in CRM automation, SaaS operations, and remote agency workflows. Under Cece and Dea’s leadership, the program has achieved remarkable results: 90 percent of learners secure clients within 30 days, and 68 percent double their income through targeted training and mentorship.
The program has particularly excelled at enabling professionals from non-technical and underserved backgrounds to enter the digital workforce—a perfect match for DICT’s inclusive development goals.
Global Recognition Meets Local Expertise
HighLevel’s explosive growth—from USD 1 million revenue in 2020 to USD 82.7 million in 2024—reflects the platform’s dominance among over two million businesses worldwide. Through HL Accelerator’s initiatives, Filipino professionals are gaining international recognition for their skills in automation, CRM support, and funnel building, positioning the Philippines as a key global talent hub.
The summit features industry leaders including Alicia Pagano, Head of Certification at HighLevel Inc, who will present the official HighLevel Certified Admin Program. HL Accelerator has secured partnerships with HL Pro Tools and Level Up Marketplace, bringing insights through Mario Aldayuz (Head of Partnerships, HL Pro Tools) and Rupert Samuel (Founder & CEO, Level Up Marketplace) on advanced monetization strategies and custom app development opportunities.
Live Job Matching and On-Site Hiring Opportunities
Beyond education, the summit offers immediate career advancement through live job-matching sessions connecting Filipino talent with opportunities in Australia, the US, and UK markets. HL Accelerator is extending a special invitation to any Quezon City resident to drop by the venue and attend dedicated breakout rooms where over 10 agencies will conduct on-site interviews for Virtual Assistant positions between 2:00PM to 5:00PM, with potential for immediate hiring.
International speakers like Dakota Routh (Agency Support) and Pakistan’s Arham Abid (GHL Starboys) will share blueprints for scaling from freelancer to six-figure agency owner, while Filipino motivational speaker Chinkee Tan addresses the mindset shifts necessary for sustainable success.
Virtual Access and Cultural Celebration
HL Accelerator offers virtual live access for ₱497, providing the same high-value content as in-person participants, plus lifetime access to event recordings and the comprehensive HL Pilipinas Vault—eight complete training modules developed under Cece and Dea’s guidance. Virtual participants remain eligible for major raffle prizes totaling ₱50,000-₱100,000.
The Modern Filipiniana theme reflects HL Accelerator’s mission to blend Filipino heritage with global technological leadership, celebrating Filipino culture while positioning local talent for international dominance in the digital economy.
Measurable Impact on National Goals
The summit will report on digital jobs created over the past 12 months while recognizing the first cohort of certified HighLevel Admins. This data-driven approach aligns with DICT’s evidence-based strategy for achieving 8 million digital jobs by 2028.
“This summit proves that with the right tools, support, and partnerships, Filipino talent can lead in the global digital economy,” emphasizes the HL Accelerator team. “HighLevel finally saying yes to the Philippines marks the beginning of our country’s recognition as a premier destination for digital expertise.”
Limited Virtual Seats for Historic Event
The summit runs Sunday, August 10, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM at the Quezon City M.I.C.E. Center. The ₱497 virtual access investment provides entry into the HL Accelerator community that’s actively reshaping the Philippine digital workforce landscape.
Special Invitation to Quezon City Residents: Any Quezon City resident can drop by the venue on August 10 between 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM to participate in job application breakout rooms. This community-first approach reflects HL Accelerator’s commitment to local economic development.

In the world of network marketing, success stories often begin with hardship—and Exequila Bulac’s journey is no exception. As the Foundress of SRS Firearies Dynasty under REDinc, her rise from financial despair to inspiring leader is a powerful testimony of faith, perseverance, and determination.
Before discovering REDinc, Exequila worked as an employee at a financing company. A proud high school graduate, she had already achieved what many with limited education could only hope for—employment in a major company. But like many, she soon realized that a modest educational background often comes with a modest paycheck.
Everything changed when she became a mother. Her child’s medical operation demanded a huge sum, and with limited income, Exequila fell into overwhelming debt—reaching as high as one million pesos. Faced with unimaginable pressure and uncertainty, she turned to prayer. And through divine timing, help came.
Her sister, Mentor Ely, introduced her to REDinc. Though she knew nothing about multi-level marketing (MLM), Exequila made the bold decision to try. Her mindset shifted: “Why not learn it? What if this is the way out of poverty?”
On August 8, 2018, her life took a new direction. With the support of mentors Yam ‘YG’ Gavales, Vanesa Gavales, Michael Majan, and Rona Capuyan, Exequila gradually learned the ropes and began earning—impressively landing in the Top 15 Earners during her first year, all while doing REDinc part-time. As the pandemic struck and many relied on government aid, Exequila and her siblings thrived. They poured every waking hour into online networking, running on just two to three hours of sleep. But for Exequila, exhaustion was worth it if it meant covering her child’s medical needs.
But God’s blessings didn’t stop there. Her commitment to REDinc allowed her to buy her own house and lot, begin paying off her million-peso debt, and spend more time with her child—something she could only dream of before.
In 2022, she pushed herself further by combining online and offline networking. Stepping into face-to-face marketing brought new challenges—fear, discomfort, rejection—but Exequila kept going. Her secret? She focused on her dreams, not her doubts. Her courage inspired not only her own progress but also that of her growing team.
“To my REDinc partners,” she says, “keep dreaming. No matter how many rejections or criticisms you face, never give up. Be braver—for your dreams, for your family.” She extends her gratitude to the SRS-Global Family, her mentors, coaches, and all her partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. And most of all, to President Jayant Era of REDinc, for believing in their dreams.
Exequila’s story reminds us of one thing: “Sa networking hindi pwedeng puro UTAK ang gamitin dapat may PUSO ka din.” – Mentor Lec
