HUAWEI and Ateneo Graduate School of Business Elevate the MBA Learning Experience with the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026

Manila, Philippines (May 11, 2026) — HUAWEI Philippines recently collaborated with the Ateneo Graduate School of Business Student Council (AGSB Student Council) to support AGSB students in navigating the rigorous demands of graduate education. Through the Strategic Management (STRAMA) Deep Dive, the initiative enabled AGSB students to experience the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026, allowing them to strengthen their approach to complex problem-solving, data analysis, and decision-making with greater clarity and discipline in preparation for leadership roles.

As part of this shared goal, HUAWEI introduced the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 through an interactive product showcase booth during the STRAMA Deep Dive on April 25. This allowed AGSB students to experience its latest innovations firsthand and understand how purposeful digital tools can reduce academic friction and support more adaptable study workflows.

The STRAMA Deep Dive sessions brought together approximately 60 graduate AGSB students onsite and 100 participants online per session, held on April 11 and April 25 at the APS Amphitheater, Ateneo de Manila University – Rockwell Campus.

“HUAWEI’s commitment to innovation is reflected in how the device integrates both hardware and software,” said John Carlo Capanas, AGSB Student Council Vice President for External Affairs. “After using the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026, I gained a better appreciation for how they design products for productivity. Everything, from the display to the accessories to the apps, works together to create a more efficient workflow.”

By providing a smart, responsive ecosystem, HUAWEI illustrates how technology elevates MBA learning well beyond basic efficiency. It helps AGSB students build the essential digital skills they need for the corporate world while fostering the responsibility, focus, and intentionality to be effective leaders in complex, high-stakes environments.

Unlocking Graduate-Level Efficiency with Powerful and PC-Like Performance

Navigating the intensive STRAMA sessions required the flexibility and strategic mindset expected of top-tier executives. As part of the collaboration, AGSB students used the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 to remove the traditional friction between on-the-go convenience and heavy-duty academic analysis. Rather than being tied to a desk, they were able to leverage the tablet’s PC-Level WPS Office 3.0 to process intricate datasets and draft comprehensive papers on the go.

The device’s evolved 4-in-1 productivity ecosystem further enhances this adaptability. Equipped with the HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, M-Pencil (3rd Gen), and Bluetooth mouse, the tablet instantly transforms into a full workstation. With robust spreadsheet functionalities at their fingertips, the platform enabled students to perform data-intensive analysis with the speed, precision, and reliability of a traditional laptop.

“As an MBA student, 'Lite' versions of software just don't cut it. WPS Office 3.0 is a game-changer because it provides a PC-level experience. When I’m analyzing market trends or writing my thesis, I have the full power of desktop-grade tools. I can open multiple windows, run complex formulas, and format documents exactly as I would on a computer. It makes the academic 'heavy lifting' feel effortless,” shared by Christian Jerome De Guzman, AGSB Student Council Officer-in-Charge for the Finance and Resource Management Committee.

Sustaining Focus with the Ultra-Clear PaperMatte Display, HUAWEI Notes, and GoPaint

Strategic foresight during the rigorous STRAMA sessions needs focus to simulate real-world corporate work. This requires AGSB students to synthesize volumes of case studies, journals, and industry reports, while managing cognitive load to prevent fatigue.

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 supports this journey by easing the heavy academic burden through its 11.5-inch 2.8K Ultra-Clear 3rd Gen PaperMatte Display.  By combining high-precision nanoscale anti-glare technology with 3A+ glass, the tablet’s display blocks 99% of ambient light interference and significantly reduces screen sparkle by 50%. This results in a soothing, paper-like viewing experience that dramatically cuts down on the visual strain typical of traditional monitors.

“For me, the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 is really about making things more manageable. As a graduate student, there are a lot of demands. So having a device that helps you stay organized, productive, and focused makes a real difference. It becomes more than just a device—it becomes part of how you navigate your daily responsibilities,” said John Carlo Capanas, AGSB Student Council Vice President for External Affairs.

Get PC-Level Power for Future Professionals with the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026

The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 S 2026 is designed to support both professional and academic needs. Available for PHP 29,999, it comes as a comprehensive 4-in-1 bundle, complete with the tablet, HUAWEI Smart Magnetic Keyboard, M-Pencil (3rd Gen), and a Bluetooth mouse—providing a full PC-level workspace right out of the box.

Jordan Brand Expands its Wings Scholars Program to the Philippines, Breaking Down Barriers to Higher Education

MANILA, DECEMBER 12, 2022 – Jordan Brand Wings Scholars Program, the brand’s community impact platform that provides education opportunities for youth who need it most around the globe, has brought the full-board college scholarship grants to the Philippines.

Six high school graduates will receive four-year scholarships to Ateneo de Manila University and pursue the course of their choice. Jordan Brand partnered with children’s rights organization Bahay Tuluyan to identify the six young students who are now part of the global community of Wings Scholars pursuing their dreams of excelling in life through quality higher education.

In partnership with Bahay Tuluyan, each Wings Scholar will also receive skills training, career guidance and mentorship throughout their 4-year tenure at the university.

“Showing up for basketball culture is core to our purpose at Jordan Brand,” says Craig Williams, Jordan Brand President. “And when you think about the community in Manila who shows so much love for the game, it only makes sense that we would bring Jordan Wings to them, to extend this spirit of excellence.”

Kiefer Ravena, Ateneo alumni and Jordan Brand’s first Filipino athlete who currently plays in the B. League, Japan’s men’s professional basketball league, welcomed the six scholars to the Jordan Family. “Ateneo de Manila University instills in its students a spirit of excellence through education and a commitment to give back to the community – a value which now connects the six scholars with the Jordan Brand Wings Scholars Program’s own purpose. With the power of these two organizations behind them, the path for these scholars is bright and I wish them every success in their future,” Kiefer says.

So far, the Wings Scholars program has been launched in the United States, China and France. The Philippines is the first country in Southeast Asia to join the global initiative which has funded more than 2,886 students since 2015.

Meet the Wings Scholars from the Philippines, Class of 2026.

Sports-minded Jürgen San Agustin from Ateneo de Zamboanga will pursue a BS in Management Information Systems, specializing in analytics. He desires to be an NBA analyst one day. Lean Villar, a volleyball enthusiast, wants to become a clinical psychologist to promote mental health & wellbeing and will major in psychology.

Czarina Leviste will take up a BA Health Sciences degree with an aim to provide free health services to more people in the future. Harriet De Leon who has been exposed to special education through her parents, will major in political science and aspires to open doors to education for all kids one day.

Science-inclined badminton athlete Adrian De Guzman wants to make the most of his education. As a student of B.S. Computer Science, he wants to give back to the community and the future generation. Math-whiz Coleen Reyes will take up Applied Mathematics and masters in Data Science and aims to create tools that will help change the game for those who seek mentorship, guidance and education.
