AMA University IT OLYMPIAD @ SM-CDO
The success of the Region 10 - IT Olympiad of AMA-Cagayan de Oro Campus merits a lot for the faculty, students and staff for it has done so simply amazing. It was held at the atrium of SM City Cagayan de Oro last Friday afternoon, 24th of February 2006. As expected, bigger crowd in this year’s IT Olympiad, an information technology competition-a quiz bee-type of contest focusing largely on Information Technology trends / computer world.
AMA Education System offers 1 million worth of prizes, in both cash and scholarships. It's open to all public and private high school students who must form a team of four for every school, but here in Cagayan de oro, there were only three members each team. The contest was divided into regional and national levels. The winning school in the regional levels has just received 17,000 pesos. The champion at the national level will soon receive 155,000 pesos in cash plus a half-year trimester full scholarship grant in AMAES. The regional level contests will be held from February 1 to 28 while the national championship is scheduled for March 10 in Manila.
In Cagayan de Oro Campus, top of the leaders are Mr. Peter Bacaling and Engr. Rosalio Pana, both School Director and Dean. IT Head Daniel Arellano was supposedly the over-all committee for the said event but sad to say Mr. Arellano was admitted to the hospital two days prior to the Olympiad. Audience really liked to witness the competition especially that the two emcees Mr. Rynner O. Ranario and Ms. Vanessa Mae R. Maagad were excellent enough to manage such Olympiad. The event showcased the talents of AMA students in dancing and singing as well.
The IT OLYMPIAD CHAMPION of Region 10 title goes to the PHILIPPINE SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL of Tubod, Lanao del Norte which composes their best senior high school Jose Saberon, Mardee Rabosa and Ann Selisana. The second placer is Holycross of Bukidnon and followed by the Cagayan de Oro-based school KONG HUA of Kauswagan as the 3rd placer.
It was entertaining, educating and challenging that can really bring Information Technology to the fore. The questions were bit hard that surely make IT students realize how important to be forced to the determination of learning. Thus, AMA University really leads the entire nation of letting the students be excellent in the field of Information and Communication Technology. Its success marks another path of excellence.
