March 18, 2026 – Hotel Benilde Maison De La Salle, Malate, Manila – The Philippines is quickly becoming a major player in the global gaming world. With a young and creative workforce, local developers are already making waves, recently securing millions in sales leads at international events like Gamescom. To keep this momentum going, Xsolla, a global leader in video game commerce, is stepping up to help bridge the gap between education and the professional world.

Xsolla is teaming up with De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde to strengthen the local developer ecosystem. This partnership is all about making sure that what students learn in the classroom matches what the industry actually needs. By connecting global business expertise with local academic talent, they are building a stronger pipeline for the next generation of Filipino game creators.

Eric Lee, Head of Partnerships APAC from Xsolla and Norman Lee, Chairperson of the Game Design and Development Program from Benilde are at the forefront of this initiative. Their goal is to turn the Philippines into a top-tier creative hub. For students and aspiring developers, this means better access to tools, mentorship, and a clearer path to high-value jobs in the digital economy. It is not just about making games; it is about building sustainable businesses around those games.

Xsolla provides the essential tools that help developers, from small indie teams to giant AAA studios, handle things like funding, marketing, and making money from their creations. By bringing these resources to the Philippine market, they are giving local creators the same advantages that big international studios have, allowing Pinoy-made games to reach a global audience more easily.

As the gaming industry grows, it brings more than just entertainment; it brings high-paying jobs and boosts the country’s digital economy. This collaboration between Xsolla and Benilde shows how important it is for tech companies and schools to work together. When industry leaders invest in local talent, the entire tech community wins, paving the way for a future where the Philippines is a recognized leader in game development.

Work-from-home sounds like a dream—until your bed becomes your office, your office becomes your life, and burnout hits quietly. In this episode, we explore the real side of remote work in tech: building a routine that fits your personality, staying productive without overworking, and setting boundaries when your workplace is literally inside your home. Our guests share personal experiences, practical hacks, and honest lessons on avoiding burnout, managing distractions, maintaining career growth, and staying connected to people even while working alone.
