The Venue

Subic Bay Exhibition & Convention Center

๐Ÿ“Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Olongapo Zambales

The SBECC felt like a museum to me because of the beautiful paintings in its massive canvases. It looked luxurious inside and it was so capacious that unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to look at everything.ย

PAGASA Weather Station

๐Ÿ“Q7RC J9M, Argonaut Hwy, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Bataan, Philippines

The building was almost derelict; the kind that you'd think the military would find just sufficient. Anyhow, I learned so much! About aircrafts' headwind and tailwind! How they monitor the weather to disseminate information to pilots. It was certainly a difficult set of topics. Sir Arnel G. Gonzales lectured...

First Aviation Academy

๐Ÿ“Subic Bay International Airport, Subic Bay, Olongapo City, Zambales, Subic Bay Freeport Zone

Inside the academy were astonishing Redbird flight simulators. We witnessed two trainee pilots using it and I thought it looked awesome to be able to afford to go to FAA and become a pilot. We passed by their hallway and I saw a few classrooms which were really cool and looked luxurious.

SBMA Seaport Administration Building

๐Ÿ“Waterfront Rd, Subic Bay, Olongapo, Zambales

The sunny day suddenly turned into a rainy and windy one but the striking building of the SBMA Seaport Administration stood tall as well as its tower on its rooftop. Inside, they let us view their VTMS monitors which we were prohibited to take pictures of. We were then led to a meeting room and...

QBO Innovation Hub

๐Ÿ“375 Sen. Gil J. Puyat Ave, Makati, 1209 Metro Manila

This company has a beautiful space that's not your typical corporate office. They have a big hall for presentations that accommodated about 40 of us. They have a kubo display in their corner. The place looked authentic, focusing on teamwork or bayanihan. The ambience was great for friendly interact...

Packetworkx Inc. - IoT Technologies Hub

๐Ÿ“G/F, iSquare Bldg, 15 Meralco Ave, Ortigas Center, Pasig, 1605 Metro Manilaย 

They had a glamorous spacious company. At the first glance inside, next to the stairs, they had wooden bleachers that accommodated more or less than 20 of us. We were lectured and our view were of their projects and other...

Office of the Line 2 Station Operations Division - Light Rail Transit Authority

๐Ÿ“G2H2+RXM, LRTA Maintenance Building, Airport Road, Corner Aurora Boulevard, Pasay, 1301 Metro Manila

This was a fun venue! I really liked this itinerary because not only did we have the opportunity to ride a train along three stations in Pasay City, we also got to have a visual understanding of the operations inside LRTA Office. Mr. Adrian Francisco A. Saldana showed us the monitoring office that uses Supervisory...ย

National Museum of Fine Arts

๐Ÿ“Padre Burgos Ave, Ermita, Manila, 1000 Metro Manila

This was the most enthralling venue among the others because we had the great luck of witnessing the finest arts of the Philippines. We toured Galleries I to XXIV, and my favorite is the iconic Spoliarium by Filipino painter Juan Luna. Ms. Berna Romula Puyat brilliantly lectured us of its meaning which...

Hytec Power Incorporated

๐Ÿ“2 T. Cruz Street, Cruzville Subdivision, Zabarte Road, Quezon City, T. Cruz, Novaliches, Quezon City, Metro Manila

Despite it being a rainy day, Hytec Power, Inc. made our day better because they had technological virtual devices such as the heavy equipment simulation. They also exhibited robotics; I got to play with their remote-controlled truck with arms by picking up blocks and shooting it in a basket...

98Labs Inc.

๐Ÿ“98, 1227 V.A. Rufino St, Makati, Metro Manila
