The AMA Education System (AMAES), the largest network of schools, colleges, and universities in Asia, has once again proven its pioneering spirit by launching the U-Learn 24/7 Education Model a revolutionary educational model that redefines how individuals acquire, access, and remain relevant in Philippine education. This adaptable approach ensures that education remains within reach, enabling every learner to advance at their own pace while steadily working toward completing an entire degree or professional qualification. Built to address the realities faced by today’s learners from working professionals aiming to upskill, to students balancing multiple responsibilities this non-conventional delivery system positions AMAES as the “uber-like” of Philippine Education.

For decades, education in the Philippines has been limited by rigid schedules, geographical barriers, the availability of highly specialized programs, and inflexible learning paths. AMAES breaks through these constraints by empowering learners to choose their preferred mode of delivery whether full face-to-face, blended, fully online with structured schedules, or self-paced learning guided by a virtual mentor. What makes the U-Learn 24/7 Education Model groundbreaking is that while it maximizes choice and accessibility, it never compromises academic integrity, quality, compliance standards, or alignment with international best practice.

Why AMAES is the “Uber-like” of Philippine Education

Just as Uber transformed transportation by putting mobility in the hands of the user, AMAES is reshaping education by placing control in the hands of the learner. The U-Learn 24/7 Education Model delivers education that is learner-driven, adaptive to individual preferences, yet firmly grounded in rigorous academic standards.

With the academic services and rigorous advising provided to learners, they are given the opportunity to:

  • Receive proper academic profiling based on their individual needs and capacities through comprehensive advising and counseling.
  • Enroll in a wide range of courses available on the platform from secondary education and bachelor’s programs to professional programs in IT, business, healthcare, maritime, and aviation.
  • Begin their chosen courses through various schedules such as regular trimesters, semesters, diploma programs, or the Distance Education Express (with new classes starting every 10 days, year-round).
  • Switch courses at any time, allowing them to adjust their learning pathways as their career goals evolve. This is especially valuable for professionals seeking to upskill through microcredential programs offered on the platform.
  • Complete requirements at their own pace, with flexible options such as special examinations for incomplete grades.

Adaptive Mode of Delivery

The platform’s delivery options are built around learner convenience and lifestyle fit, without compromising quality:

  • Full Face-to-Face – Traditional classroom setting.
  • Blended – Three days virtual and two days in-person.
  • Full Online (Scheduled) – Via AMA Distance Education Virtual Studio, with structured class schedules.
  • Self-Directed (Self-Paced) – Anytime, anywhere learning using the AMA LMS, guided by virtual mentors.
  • Distance Education Express – Fixed start and completion dates announced every 10 days, ensuring certainty and structure.

Convenient Integrated Learning Ecosystem

The U-Learn 24/7 Education Model  offers a seamless educational experience through:

  • Wide Program Coverage – Technical-vocational, undergraduate, graduate, diploma programs, and microcredentials.
  • Learning Management System (LMS) – Easy access to course materials, tracking progress, and managing lessons.
  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – Personalized guidance and student support.
  • Payment Gateway Solutions – Multiple secure options (GCash, credit cards, 7-Eleven, Lhuillier, online banking) for nationwide accessibility.

Non-Conventional Support Hubs Nationwide

The U-Learn 24/7 Education Model harnesses the strength of a premier educational network, establishing non-conventional support hubs to enhance student learning, including:

  • AMA University
  • AMA Computer Colleges
  • ABE International Business College
  • Augustine International School
  • AMA Computer Learning Center (ACLC)
  • ACLC Colleges
  • AMA Basic Education*

This extensive reach ensures education is available for undergraduate and graduate degrees, diploma programs, and distance education, truly embodying the “anytime, anywhere” promise.

For Basic Ed, the U-Learn 24/7 Education Model combined with DepED Home Schooling model and permit, is almost the counterpart of CHED DE.

Technology and Partnerships that Accelerate Teaching and Learning

The platform is strengthened by global partnerships that make AMAES students internationally competitive:

  • Microsoft – Premier education partner.
  • Cisco – Largest Cisco Academy in the world.
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Largest Amazon Cloud partner in Asia.
  • Pearson VUE – Globally recognized online certification exams, with credentials issued digitally through AMA testing centers.
  • Criterion – Leading provider of secure non-technical assessment solutions for global learners.
  • Oracle – Strategic partner in enterprise technology and database education, enabling students with globally recognized certifications in business and IT solutions.

A Legacy of Innovation and Leadership

At the core of this initiative is AMA University, a CHED-conferred Autonomous Institution. With 45 years of delivering education, AMA has achieved a series of firsts:

  • Pioneer of IT education in the Philippines.
  • First to launch a BS in Artificial Intelligence.
  • First to introduce a BS in Cybersecurity.
  • The largest network of universities and colleges in Asia.

This legacy guarantees that the U-Learn 24/7 Education Model is not only innovative but also credible, reliable, and globally aligned.

Education That Fits the Learner’s Preference

As AMAES marks its 45th year, it continues to break barriers and redefine the future of education. The U-Learn Education Model is not just a new system it is a promise that education will adapt to learners’ lives, not the other way around. True quality lies in the experience of the end-user. For those who dream of advancing their careers, upgrading their skills, or completing a degree but have long been constrained by time and circumstance, the solution has finally arrived. With AMAES, education is no longer about fitting into a rigid system now, the system fits you.

Credentials and Assurance

In keeping with its commitment to student success and professionalism, AMAES ensures that official academic documents, including Transcript of Records (TOR), will be processed and released upon request and completion of both AMAES and CHED requirements reflecting the institution’s efficiency, compliance, and dedication to learner satisfaction.

Slim and Powerful Battery is the secret sauce of HONOR Magic V5

Leading smart devices provider HONOR Philippines is gearing up for the arrival of its newest and thinnest foldable phone – the HONOR Magic V5! Coming this September 5, HONOR Magic V5 sports the biggest battery out of all its counterparts in the market to date. Catch the launch live on Facebook: https://bit.ly/MagicV5Launch_FB.

“To complement its cutting-edge battery technology, the HONOR Magic V5 supports 66W Wired charging versus other brands’ 25W – offering fast and versatile charging solutions to keep users powered up throughout the day. It also comes with a durable phone case and charger which competitors don’t have,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.

Do more with HONOR Magic V5, literally

A key enabler of the HONOR Magic V5’s ultra-slim design is its advanced silicon-carbon battery, the thinnest and ultra high-capacity battery ever used in a foldable. At just 2.3mm thick, it incorporates silicon-based anodes, theoretically offering up to 10 times the lithium-ion storage capacity of traditional graphite anodes. This increased energy density allows for a smaller battery without sacrificing battery life.

These innovations result in a compact yet powerful 5820mAh dual-battery system, occupying around 26% of the device’s internal volume. This battery, combined with other optimizations in the hinge, display, camera, and motherboard, enables HONOR to achieve a foldable that’s not only thinner but also more durable and robust than ever before.

Online Education (OEd), the Philippines’ FIRST in flexible and personalized learning, proudly marks a decade of empowering Filipinos through education that truly adapts to the learner. What began as a bold alternative to traditional classrooms has evolved into a transformative force for students, professionals, and lifelong learners both locally and abroad.

A Decade of Transformation in Learning

Since its founding in 2015, OEd has consistently challenged conventions and expanded the possibilities of learning. From its early beginnings, it has grown into a trusted institution offering CHED-accredited programs across senior high school, undergraduate, and postgraduate levels. OEd’s learner-first philosophy was designed with inclusivity at its core, serving:

  • Parents and senior high school graduates in search of affordable, credible paths to higher education.
  • Working professionals and returning learners balancing the demands of work, family, and study.
  • OFWs and second-chance learners who once thought pursuing a degree was out of reach.

For OEd, flexibility means more than just online classes. It is about creating opportunities without borders, removing the barriers of time, place, and circumstance.

“Flexible Education That Adapts to You”

As OEd celebrates its 10th anniversary, it ushers in a refreshed identity anchored on its new guiding message: “Flexible Education That Adapts to You.” This promise reflects its continued commitment to respond to the evolving needs of Filipino learners.

“Over the past decade, OEd has empowered thousands of Filipinos to realize their dreams, regardless of their circumstances,” said OEd’s leadership. “As we celebrate this milestone, we reaffirm our mission to make education not just accessible, but truly transformative.”

Success Stories that Inspire

The most powerful testament to OEd’s impact lies in the stories of its learners. Nurses and teachers who advanced their careers, mothers who completed their degrees while raising families, and overseas workers who finally earned their diplomas despite distance—all represent resilience, determination, and the life-changing power of flexible education. Each graduate is proof that OEd’s mission reaches far beyond academics, touching lives and building futures.

Looking Ahead: The Next Generation of Learning

As OEd enters its second decade, it sets its sights on expansion and innovation. Plans are underway to diversify program offerings, build stronger industry linkages, and develop future-ready curricula that prepare learners for the challenges of tomorrow. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, OEd continues to improve its digital platforms, ensuring that education remains seamless, engaging, and accessible for all.

A Legacy of Dreams, A Future of Possibilities

Ten years on, OEd stands as a beacon of how education can be redefined to meet the diverse needs of Filipinos. From enabling OFWs to achieve lifelong goals, to offering second-chance learners the opportunity to succeed, to equipping future leaders with knowledge and skills—OEd’s impact transcends diplomas and degrees. It is about unlocking dreams and empowering learners, one success story at a time.

As it looks toward the future, OEd carries a powerful promise: to remain the home of flexible and personalized learning for all, equipping Filipinos not just to adapt, but to thrive in an ever-changing world.

  • Shop and content optimization – improving product presentation, branding, and discoverability
  • Marketing and campaign planning – building strategies that drive visibility and sales
  • Affiliate and community-driven marketing – expanding reach through creator and community partnerships
  • Fulfillment and customer experience – enhancing reliability, responsiveness, and service quality
  • Performance tracking and business planning – using data to make informed, growth-focused decisions

In addition, SAP participants will receive a customized growth plan tailored to their unique business goals, accompanied by structured guidance throughout the program.

“Shopee’s Tatak Pinoy program has always been about championing local—local sellers, local products, and Pinoy pride,” Lee said. “This year, we’re taking that commitment further by offering hands-on support for MSMEs at every stage, from first-time sellers to established businesses ready to scale.”

Welcoming High-Potential Filipino MSMEs Ready to Take the Next Step

 SAP is designed for Filipino MSMEs ready to move from steady performance to strategic growth. The pilot cohort will be by invitation only and will welcome 20 local, high-potential sellers who demonstrate the readiness, commitment, and ambition to scale.

The program is built for MSMEs who demonstrate:

  • Consistent shop activity and customer engagement — actively managing their store and delivering a quality buyer experience
  • A drive for continuous improvement — through operational upgrades, new strategies, or data-informed decisions
  • A commitment to community and local impact — contributing to the digital economy and uplifting fellow entrepreneurs
  • Ambition to lead — with a long-term vision for growth and a desire to build a sustainable digital business
