The Southern Philippines Agri-Business and Marine and Aquatic School of Technology (SPAMAST) proudly participated in the YSEALI Cyberbayanihan Summit 2025 held from October 17–19, 2025, at the Lyceum of the Philippines Davao.

The three-day summit was organized by the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines, YSEALI Philippines, and YSEALI Amplify 9.0, in partnership with PLDT, Smart Communications, Inc., Lyceum of the Philippines Davao, and the United States Government Alumni Association Davao.
The event brought together young leaders and innovators from across the country to discuss and collaborate on digital citizenship, cybersecurity, and online civic engagement.
