Groups
- eKindling (Education Kindling) is an educational non-profit based in Manila, Philippines and has evolved from the OLPC-PH grassroots movement to officially carry the OLPC initiative in the country.
- PCOLPC (Philippine Collaborators for OLPC) is a group of Filipino-Australians based in Sydney, Australia.
Pilot
A pilot was deployed at Lubang, Mindoro.
One hundred XO 1.5-laptops were distributed to Grade 4 students of Lubang Integrated School and Maligaya Elementary School, with a formal launch on 6th December 2010. The media was invited to cover the event.
