Drop 03 - "The Things Left Unsaid" (The Voices from the Trenches Episode)

This episode featured an unfiltered discussion with Carlos Tengkiat (CISO, LandBank) and Kerr Ang (DFIR Head, Security Bank) on the often‑overlooked realities of cybersecurity work. The conversation examined pay disparity, chronic understaffing, risk decision gaps, burnout, and the tension between compliance and true security. Audience insights further highlighted the issues around retention, operational fatigue, and leadership disconnects.

We built the internet for adults. Then we handed it to children.

Parents are being asked to solve a problem they were never equipped for.

During the DZMM Teleradyo discussion on the Tacloban incident, one thing became clear: we keep framing this as a parenting problem when it is actually a system design problem.

The digital world was built for adults. Children entered it by accident. And the algorithm — not the child, not the parent — decides what they see next.

Violent aesthetics, escalating recommendations, and unfiltered environments are shaping young minds before any adult even notices. We respond by telling parents to monitor their kids. But you cannot protect a child with tools you were never taught to use.

That realization pushed me to write a whitepaper that reframes the conversation entirely — away from blame, toward systemic accountability.

It breaks down how algorithmic escalation works, why default-deny should be the industry standard for minors, what DICT and telcos can actually mandate, and why human connection remains the strongest protection of all.

Because here's the question no one is asking: if banks treat fraud prevention as infrastructure — not customer responsibility — why don't we treat child safety online the same way?

The full whitepaper: "Securing Childhood: A Digital Safety Framework for Protecting Filipino Children in an Algorithmic World." is here -> https://www.linkedin.com/posts/digitaldelacruz_digital-safety-for-protecting-filipino-children-ugcPost-7476539908317384704-56wh/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAAMNkEBLLjIk_SPc7ZE3IjqbH5BSsyfzho

Every episode hits differently when the guest brings both experience and humility. That’s exactly what Carlos Tengkiat brought to DROP #3.

We talked about the things leaders rarely say out loud — the pressure, the silence, the decisions that shape teams. Proud of this one.

DROP 3: THE THINGS LEFT UNSAID The Voices From the Trenches Episode

Kerr Ang steps into MARTESClass to unpack the realities most people never hear — the ground‑level battles, the leadership decisions, and the unencrypted truths that live in between.

This is the conversation HR, leadership, and practitioners rarely get to share in the same room.

Singapore's Ambassador for A.I. Anthony Lim clears through the hype and reminds us that A.I. security is not some new esoteric thing =)

"Cybersecurity is a Key Pillar before you can even drive A.I. at Scale" - Anton Bonifacio - CISO, CAIO, CDO, on the importance of having Basic Cybersecurity Hygiene to effectively run A.I.

KEEP CALM and PACIFY.
