PHILIPPINES: Forest Interactive Philippine talents, Sheena Pimentel, Head of Corporate PR, and Arvee Gomez, Media Relations Executive, joined their respective alma maters, Bukidnon State University and the University of Santo Tomas, to share empowering career and internship advice to over 300 Filipino youths combined.
