Cebuana Lhuillier and Networld Capital Ventures, Inc. (NCVI) sponsored the University of Makati’s (UMak’s) 5th IT Olympics last February 27 at the UMak campus grounds.
Over 330 ICT students from 38 participating schools travelled to Metro Manila to compete in different competitions that exhibit their excellence in different categories such as java programming, computer assembly/disassembly, digital electronics, computer networking, web design, and Android apps development.
P. J. Lhuillier Group of Companies’ President and CEO Jean Henri Lhuillier spoke at the event as the guest speaker. He highlighted the Filipinos’ global competence as IT professionals saying, “We are in an era of great technological innovation, and I believe that we need not look far to seek out the best in information technology. The future is here, it is now, and you, as world-class ICT students, are very much a part of it. You are proof that the Philippines can very well keep up with Silicon Valley and the rest of the world… As long as you keep the passion alive, you have the power to reshape, invent and program the way we live.”
The awarding ceremony was done in the afternoon where certificates and cash prizes were given away to participants and olympic winners. Cebuana Lhuillier personnel also attended the event to participate as judges.
