Top Peg Animation · Teleperformance
I came in thinking animation was just art — I left knowing it's also project management, software, deadlines, and a whole lot of teamwork. Top Peg runs like a tech company that happens to make beautiful things.
The animation pipeline surprised me as an IT student — rigging, rendering, compositing — there's serious software engineering behind every frame. It's not just drawing.
Teleperformance showed me that communication is a technical skill, not just a soft one. The systems they use to manage thousands of interactions simultaneously are genuinely impressive from an IT standpoint.
Watching our batchmates get wide-eyed at both places was its own kind of learning — we all came in with different impressions and left with the same thought: we underestimated what Filipinos are doing on the global stage.
The advice we kept hearing echoed: passion gets you in the door, but skills and discipline keep you there. Whether you're an animator or a BPO agent, excellence is a choice you make every day.
"I came into Day 3 thinking it would be the least relevant to IT — animation and BPO didn't exactly scream 'computer science' to me. I was wrong. Top Peg runs on render farms and digital pipelines. Teleperformance is powered by AI and enterprise software. IT is everywhere — it just wears different uniforms. This day quietly shifted how I think about where I could end up after graduation. And honestly? The list of possibilities got a lot longer."
