How HUAWEI and Benilde Are Powering the Next Generation of Filipino Artists
The future of art and technology just got more exciting for young creatives! HUAWEI has teamed up with De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde’s (DLS-CSB) renowned Multimedia Arts (MMA) Program to showcase how the HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) transforms digital creativity and productivity. This collaboration takes center stage at “Art in Motion: The Moving Deadlines,” Benilde’s annual Halloween art showcase happening from October 28 to 30, 2025, at the Design + Arts Campus.
The partnership highlights how innovation can enhance creative education, equipping students with tools to tell stories, animate visuals, and design artworks that reflect Filipino ingenuity in the digital era.
Bringing Art, Motion, and Technology Together
According to Katrina Juane, Chairperson of DLS-CSB Multimedia Arts, the collaboration allows students to explore digital illustration and motion graphics using the MatePad 11.5 (2025). She noted that HUAWEI’s continued support fosters creativity, curiosity, and confidence among Benildean artists.
“We’ve seen firsthand how HUAWEI devices perform as reliable tools that empower students,” Juane said. “The MatePad bridges technical precision and artistic freedom, which is essential in nurturing creative talents.”
A Tablet Designed for Artists on the Go
The HUAWEI MatePad 11.5 (2025) impressed Benilde students with its sleek, 6.1mm-thin, 515g metal unibody design. Lightweight yet durable, it fits easily into a student’s backpack ideal for those juggling classes, projects, and client work.
Its PaperMatte Display replicates the feel of real paper with anti-glare nano-etching, reducing reflections and eye strain while maintaining color accuracy. For students who spend hours illustrating or editing, this feature delivers a more natural and comfortable creative experience.
All-in-One Study and Productivity Companion

Students also discovered how the MatePad transforms academic life through WPS Office 2.0 and HUAWEI Notes.
WPS Office 2.0 offers laptop-level multitasking with spreadsheet, writing, and presentation tools that sync across devices.
HUAWEI Notes lets users annotate, record, and convert handwritten notes—making it a perfect study and brainstorming companion.
From managing coursework to pitching creative concepts, the MatePad proves that productivity and imagination can truly go hand in hand.
Creating Without Limits Through GoPaint

One of the highlights for Benilde’s young artists was HUAWEI’s GoPaint App, a free, pre-installed creative suite that comes with over 100 customizable brushes, advanced layer tools, and vivid color palettes.
Students loved how it mimics the feel of traditional painting—whether using watercolor, oil, or digital pen effects—while offering non-destructive editing and intuitive controls. As Juane shared, “The PaperMatte display and precise pen input make drawing feel authentic. For animation and layout work, it’s incredibly fluid and responsive.”
GoPaint bridges traditional artistry and digital mastery ideal for students experimenting with both hand-drawn and digital art techniques.
Built to Keep Up with Student Life
Beyond creativity, practicality also shines. The 10,100 mAh battery lasts all day, from morning classes to late-night design sessions. With 40W HUAWEI SuperCharge, downtime is minimal. The M-Pencil (3rd Gen) supports magnetic wireless charging, ensuring that tools are always ready when inspiration strikes.
“The MatePad is intuitive, durable, and reliable,” Juane added. “It’s not just a device, it’s a creative partner that complements our students’ artistic journey.”
Empowering a New Generation of Digital Storytellers
This partnership between HUAWEI and DLS-CSB goes beyond technology, it’s about empowering a new generation of Filipino storytellers to create fearlessly in a digital-first world. By integrating innovation into education, HUAWEI continues to champion young creatives and redefine how art and technology intersect.
