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.
