On July 23, 2025, the SMX Convention Center Aura in Bonifacio Global City will become the hub of the country’s AI conversation as AICON PH 2025 brings together decision-makers, professionals, educators, and students for a full day of learning, collaboration, and community.
Now on its 10th year, what started in 2016 as the Big Data Analytics Conference has grown into a national platform for learning, exchange, and collaboration. Today, AICON PH reflects how far the conversation has come—from data to intelligent systems, from hype to hands-on use. Through the years, the goal has stayed the same: to make advanced technologies more useful and more accessible to more people.
This year’s theme, “Making AI Real, Making AI Matter,” reflects this direction. It is a response to all the noise and hype around AI. Instead of just talking about the future, AICON PH 2025 focuses on what’s already working, where help is needed, and how we can make AI more helpful, fair, and accessible for more people.
This year’s event will focus on the people and principles behind AI. Plenary sessions and panels will explore the human side of AI—how it affects the way we live, work, and learn—as well as the growing conversation around sovereign AI and national capacity. The breakout sessions will offer practical stories and lessons on a wide range of topics, including agentic AI, turning insights into real impact, building an organization of innovators, and reimagining learning for those outside traditional education systems.

In celebration of its 33rd year in the power industry, Alsons Power Group, the power generation arm of the Mindanao-based Alcantara Group, launched its first-ever “We Power with Care Day,” on July 11, marked by simultaneous environmental and community development activities across the country, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive growth.
In celebration of its 33rd year in the power industry, Alsons Power Group, the power generation arm of the Mindanao-based Alcantara Group, launched its first-ever “We Power with Care Day,” on July 11, marked by simultaneous environmental and community development activities across the country, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive growth.
The We Power with Care Day mobilized more than 600 individuals, including Alsons Power employees, community members, and local government partners across key sites in Bohol, Iligan, Makati, Negros Occidental, Sarangani, and Zamboanga. The participants took part in tree planting, river and coastal cleanups, and school support programs, bringing to life Group’s brand promise, “We Power with Care.”
“This isn’t just an anniversary event. It is a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. It’s our way of giving back to the communities we serve and bringing to life our brand promise, We Power with Care,” said Antonio Miguel B. Alcantara, Chief Executive Officer of Alsons Power, during the Kick-off program of the We Power with Care Day.
From Luzon to Mindanao, various activities took place across the Alsons Power’s project and business units:
· In Zamboanga City, Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC) led a coastal cleanup in Sitio Bukana Mala, Bolong, collecting 25 sacks of non-biodegradable wastes, weighing around 125 kilos, with the help of over 75 employees and community volunteers.
· In Murcia, Negros Occidental, Bago Hydropower Resources Corporation (BHRC) organized a river cleanup in Sitio Balasyang, removing 900 kilos of waste and engaging around 50 local stakeholders.
· Mapalad Power Corporation (MPC) in Ubay, Bohol planted 150 tree seedlings within the plant premises with the help of 100 employees and volunteers from the community and government, supporting reforestation and biodiversity conservation in the area.
· In Iligan, Alsons Power Supply Corporation (APSC) and MPC Iligan spearheaded a coastal cleanup at Centennial Park in Dalipuga, collecting 110 kilos of recycleable and non-biodegradable waste and mobilizing over 75 volunteers.
· Siayan-Zambo River Power Corporation (SZPC) conducted a tree planting activity in Barangay Poblacion, Siayan, Zamboanga del Norte, planting 120 narra trees with the support of 100 volunteers.
· The Group’s Makati team helped green La Mesa Eco Park through a tree planting activity involving over 32 employees and 150 seedlings.
· In Sarangani, Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) and Siguil Hydro Corporation brought the spirit of “We Power with Care” to schools by turning over Smart TVs, school bags, and supplies to more than 500 students from nearby schools. A special book reading session was also held. Earlier that day, employees from both plants also participated in a tree planting activity within the SEC premises as part of the celebration.
Aside from education and environmental activities, Alsons Power also turned over the community share of the Municipality of Maasim and Barangay Kamanga from the SEC, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development. The community share forms part of the Department of Energy’s Energy Regulation ER 1-94 program, which requires energy companies to allocate funds to support local communities. These funds can be used for infrastructure, livelihood, and other local development initiatives.
Under the Energy Regulations (ER) 1-94 program of the Department of Energy, host communities of power generation facilities are entitled to financial benefits to fund electrification, livelihood, health, and environmental projects.
These efforts reinforced Alsons Power’s commitment to its brand promise, “We Power with Care,” highlighting the Group’s broader push to integrate sustainability into its operations and uplift the communities it serves.
Founded in 1992, Alsons Power was one of the pioneers in addressing power shortages in Mindanao through its partnership with the National Power Corporation under the Northern Mindanao Power Corporation. Today, the company operates over 460 megawatts of capacity from a mix of renewable and conventional energy sources.
With a growing pipeline of hydro and solar projects, Alsons Power is actively expanding its renewable energy portfolio, aligned with national goals for cleaner, more sustainable power generation.

Kuala Lumpur, 17 July 2025 – Enhance your expertise in refractory inspection and quality control. Join PetroSync’s API 936 Training and ensure thermal system reliability.
Why Refractory Standards Matter in High-Temperature Industries
Imagine standing near a furnace that reaches temperatures over 1,000°C. In industries like petrochemical, cement, and power generation, this is a daily reality. To withstand such extreme heat, refractory materials are installed—serving as the silent protectors of critical assets.
But here’s the catch: even a minor error in refractory design or installation can lead to equipment damage, production loss, and even serious safety incidents. That’s why global standards like API 936 exist—to ensure the quality, reliability, and safety of refractory applications.
If you’re involved in any part of refractory planning, inspection, or project execution, understanding these standards isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s essential.
Understanding the Core of API 936
The API 936 standard, developed by the American Petroleum Institute, provides critical guidelines for refractory material selection, installation, and inspection for equipment operating under high temperatures. This includes fired heaters, reformers, and other critical infrastructure used in refineries and process plants.
API 936 doesn’t just list material specifications. It also defines clear procedures for:
Evaluating refractory performance
Installation quality control
Pre-qualification testing and documentation
Inspector responsibilities and qualifications
In short, API 936 brings structure, accountability, and predictability to a field that historically relied heavily on experience and “tribal knowledge.”
Common Pitfalls Without Proper Knowledge
Many professionals find themselves thrust into refractory projects with little guidance beyond past practices. Maybe you’ve been in that situation—where you’re unsure whether the castable was mixed correctly, whether the dry-out schedule was too aggressive, or if the inspector was even qualified to sign off on the job.
Some of the most common mistakes in refractory work include:
Improper material selection
Non-compliance with curing/drying procedures
Inadequate anchoring systems
Poor inspection documentation
Unfortunately, these mistakes can lead to massive rework costs and downtime.
That’s why formal knowledge of API 936 is so valuable—it gives you a structured way to anticipate, prevent, and solve problems before they escalate.
How PetroSync’s API 936 Training Course Empowers Professionals
At PetroSync, we understand the gap between theoretical standards and real-world application. That’s why our API 936 training course is designed not just to teach the standard—but to make it practical, applicable, and relevant to your daily work.
Here’s what you’ll gain from the course:
A deep understanding of API 936 clauses and their implications
Real-life case studies of refractory failure and best practices
Insight from seasoned instructors with decades of field experience
Confidence to oversee refractory installations and inspections in compliance with global standards
Whether you’re an inspector, engineer, or project manager, this training gives you the tools to ensure your projects are compliant, efficient, and safe.
Plus, joining PetroSync means you’re part of a global network of professionals who take technical excellence seriously.
Start mastering refractory quality with confidence. Discover more about PetroSync and take the first step toward becoming a trusted expert in the field.
