The National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) continues to strengthen its role as a partner in nation-building and engineering education as it officially joined the University of Santo Tomas UST Faculty of Engineering External Advisory Committee (ExACom).
TransCo’s membership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), represented by Ms. Maria Theresa Laranang, Vice President for Resource Management and Services Group (RMSG), during the IM-PaCT 2026: UST Engineering Partners Summit held on 19–20 May 2026. The event formed part of UST’s 415th Founding Anniversary celebration and carried the theme, “Thom-PaCT: Uniting Thomasians and Multi-Sectoral Partners as One 1NS19NIA of Excellence Towards 120.”
As part of the ExACom, TransCo will share its industry knowledge, technical expertise, and institutional experience to support curriculum development and keep UST’s engineering programs responsive to emerging technologies, industry demands, and the evolving needs of the energy sector. The partnership also gives the corporation opportunities to engage promising engineering students through priority internship consideration, providing early access to future professionals who may contribute to the country’s power transmission and energy development landscape.
Through this partnership, TransCo reaffirms its commitment to supporting the development of future engineers and contributing to a stronger, more responsive, and innovation-driven energy sector.
