As we all know, Filipinos are very competitive in terms of talents & creativity. We have a brilliant mind in creating a lot of things whether it is profitable or non-profitable. But reality bites. We don't have resources and funds. We have to accept that our government will never give us 100% support for this kind of activity. So sad, but it's reality.
 
The event is fast approaching. This coming November 5-9, 2014 will be the exact date of the 16th International Robotics Competition in Beijing, China. Even the participants is lack of funds, Data Science Technology Corporation was there to give financial support to our Nation's pride. It is a private initiative that we should be thankful for. Let's all pray that they will bring home the bacon. Win or lose, I admire each of them. From the participant,mentors,coaches,schools and parents...I'm so proud of you guys!
