Julius G. Hayag, Director of RoboRAVE Philippines), and Arduino Fabrication, Enterprise, and
Markets (led by Engr. Cezar R. Calayo, General Manager of CRV Embedded System Design for
Sparkfruit Electronics Enterprise and Fablab Manila). The certificates were then awarded by
Prof. Noel A. Sedigo, Pamela Daphne R. Busog, adviser for the student organization, League of
IT Leaders, Roncesvalle J. Caipang, T3 Research Coordinator, and Joyce Erika S. Senaris, T3
Chairperson for the Department of Information Technology.

The awards for the winners of the Arduino-based Oral Presentation competition, the Arduino-
based Display Presentation competition, and the Arduinothon were given after the awarding of
the certificate to the second keynote speaker, while the closing remarks were given by Keno A.
Villavicencio, the overall in-charge of the said event. The forum and exhibit was concluded by
the singing of the CvSU hymn led by Pamela Daphne R. Busog.

The theme of the event, “Translating Ideas into Innovation” paved the way for interesting
avenues for discussion among IT practitioners and aspiring professionals, which gave the
participants of the forum a glimpse into the competitive world of the IT industry. Joseph O.
Sabaybay, CvSU-Tanza Campus IT Instructor and participant of the Arduino forum, had great
things to say about his experience of the said event: “The first Cavite Arduino technology
research forum and exhibit was a great and informative seminar as well as a good platform for
students to showcase their talents and passion for robotics and the like, especially for the
younger students—those in senior high school. Through the effort of Sir Keno, we became
connected and had a MOA with local and international companies and the government that
deals with Arduino technology.” The event was indeed a success as it established solidarity
among students, practitioners, and enthusiasts of Arduino technology in the IT industry—a
hopeful turnout at a time where young professionals are expected to become more competitive
in the digital world.
