As the world grows more interconnected, data privacy becomes more than a compliance checkbox—it becomes a fundamental human right. This Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) 2025, SuperStaff reaffirms its commitment to global data stewardship by actively participating in the Philippines’ premier privacy advocacy event, led by the National Privacy Commission (NPC).
Held on May 27–28, PAW 2025 carried the theme, “Global Privacy Matters: Navigating a Borderless Digital World and Expanding New Professional Horizons.” With personal data flowing freely across jurisdictions, the event emphasized shared responsibility, accountability, and trust as cornerstones of a privacy-first future.
SuperStaff at the Forefront of Privacy Advocacy
Representing SuperStaff at the 8th National Data Privacy Conference were:
- Atty. Lovely Rose Uy, Data Protection Officer
- Billy Samonte, IT Infrastructure and Security Manager
They joined more than a thousand global experts, government leaders, and privacy professionals to discuss AI governance, cross-border compliance, and building a workforce rooted in privacy-by-design.
“Privacy is not just a requirement—it’s a responsibility,” said Atty. Uy. “At SuperStaff, every team member plays a role in earning and protecting the trust of our clients and their customers.”
The panel discussions during the first day of the event focused on these key themes:
-
Global Privacy in Practice: Strategies to address regulatory fragmentation and emerging risks.
-
Cross-Border Accountability: How privacy frameworks can unlock new global job markets.

Privacy Tech: The growing role of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) in driving innovation.
