The CIT-SSG is now offering wifi service to all the Technologians, students and faculty for FREE. This is made possible by the efforts of the current officers in order to address the concerns of Technologians who want to access the internet for free inside the school.
This original plan was lobbied by CIT-SSG Secretary General Kevin Ray N. Chua to provide an internet connection for the CIT-SSG Office for its operations, online updates in Facebook, Twitter and etc. The plan was later revised in order to extend the scope to all the Technologians, with the help of CIT-SSG President Billy Jee V. Belenson. The plan was only approved now because of the tedious process on drafting the guidelines, estimating the costs and etc. This will be the start of assessing whether it would be practical for the school to be a free wifi zone.
Thanks a lot to SPS-MIS Head Engr. Bernard Villamor for supporting the CIT-SSG's endeavor, to Technical Support Group Head Rolando Tindoy for his guidance and to the CIT President Gregorio Escario for approving the proposal.
The CIT-SSG will be paying for the expenses of the wifi connection.
Here are some important points to note strictly:
No playing of online games.
Don't make unnecessary noises.
Don't turn on their speakers, instead bring headphones.
No using of receptacle outlets in the CIT-SSG Office for charging your laptops.
No opening of pornographic and violent sites.
You can get a registration form at the CIT-SSG Office starting March 1, 2010 (Monday) to avail of the free wifi service. Please bring the following to accomplish the registration form:
1 (ONE) 2x2 Colored Photo
1 Clear Photocopy of your school ID
And yourself also
A maximum of 20 wifi users will be allowed, 10 in the bulletin board outside the CIT-SSG Office and 10 inside the CIT-SSG Office. We'll still looking on to the possibility of extending the number of users because the wifi signal can cover around 50M radius, which can even reach the study area near the CIT Library and even in the premises of the CIT Main Bldg from 1st Floor to 4th Floor.
Here's the schedule of the time to wifi service in order to avoid congestion, each with different passwords:
Just this morning in the CIT Auditorium spearheaded by the CIT-SSG and COMELEC together with Smartmatic and in cooperation with PoliticalArena.Com, a Voters Education Caravan was held in order to educate the students of CIT on the automated elections in 2010.
Hosted by CIT-SSG officers Ronnell Padillo and Jay Ann Clamohoy, the event was graced by Technologians who were curious on how they will be voting. Most of them are first-time voters.
CIT-SSG President Billy Jee V. Belenson delivered his opening remarks to the audience and cited the importance of the event.
CIT-SSG Secretary-General Kevin Ray Chua spoke about why the youth vote matters in the upcoming elections. He stressed about the importance of the role that the youth will be crucial in making a good choice in 2010. He also elaborated on what's at stake for the youth if they don't participate.
Racquel Cagurangan, General Manager of PoliticalArena.Com discussed about the role of the new media in the elections. She also did a survey among the students wherein most of them were found out to be spending more time on Facebook than on Friendster.
Maan Tolentino was talking about the statistics on the new media being used by the youth. It can be observed that these tools can be utilized by the youth in order to make a change in their own simple way. She also promoted IbaNaNgayon.Ph and BagongBotante.Ph as the COMELEC's arm on informing the people online.
Alex Villacrucis, Election Officer of Borbon, Cebu was the one who did the demo of the PCOS machine. The demo machine that was used in CIT was brand new and CIT was the first to use the demo machine for Cebu. He also explained the election and voting guidelines to the students.
Blogger Azrael Coladilla was also in the there to cover the event and he was able to record the videos below. Check it out!

Last October 22, 2009, selected CIT-SSG officers made a courtesy call to CIT President Gregorio Escario to discuss the concerns, grievances and suggestions of the Technologians.
In attendance were CIT-SSG President Billy Jee V. Belenson, CIT-SSG Vice President Bryan P. Merino, CIT-SSG Secretary General Kevin Ray N. Chua, CIT-SSG Treasurer General Jolo R. Abella, CIT-SSG Legislative House Speaker Lordwin M. Dejaño and CIT-SSG Grievances and Concerns Committee Head Hannah Kristin D. Gitgano.
In the proposals made by the CIT-SSG, the following items were discussed:
Providing toiletry vending machines in female comfort rooms. The school will be doing a pilot-testing on two female comfort rooms in the S&T Building and in the New Academic Buidling.
Roof renovation in the S&T Study area is now on the process.
Deans, Department Chairs and Heads will be authorized to confiscate the school ID's of students sitting on steps.
Attitude of some security guards, especially in the front gate, already reported by the CIT-SSG.
Roof extension in the stairs of the Main Building is now on the works. Either a canopy or baffles.
Upgrading of the computers in ST 105 will be prioritized. Mr. Leonardo Nabua, Accountant of CIT, has reported that the school has ordered 94 computers: 47 for the upgraded CAD computer lab and the other 47 for ST 105.
Engr. Nicarter Teves, CIT Property Custodian, has also agreed to modernize the sliding boards of the Accounting classes in Rms. 301 and 305 in the Main Building.
Comfort rooms inside the CIT Library will now be open to the students and not only to the librarians and NAS assigned inside the CIT Library.
Improved ventilation for the CIT Gym is still on the process with Engr. Jonathan Reyes conducting the study. Possibility of additional electric fans in the CIT Gym is still being studied.
RFID system will be implemented next year as the last batch of CIT students who have the old CIT ID will already be graduating. Students on the next school year will be swiping their RFID in order to enter the school.
Covered walk in front of the CIT Library is on the process and so as the solution to the flood area in front of it.
CIT website is now undergoing a renovation and will be launching a new image soon as it is being improved to meet the demands of the students.
Concerns with regards to the rounding off of payments were ironed out. If your payment has been rounded off, the additional payment will be counted to your next payment. So, no more worries if your payment has been rounded off by the teller.
Regular maintenance of the canal along the Civil Engineering to Mining Engineering departments has been noted.
Computer simulated AC/DC machines will be provided to the Electrical Engineering department.
Wildcat Radio will be operating from 12 NN to 2 PM regularly.
All concerns regarding ceiling fans in all the classrooms will be address, especially Rms. 154, 157, 158, 200, 202, 407, 409, 411, and 413.
Defective lockers in the Chemical Engineering department will be fixed, especially in Rms. 154 and 155.
Intramurals t-shirt printing and distribution will be decentralized.
2 Digital Balance will be provided for the Chemical Engineering department.
Computer Engineering department will be provided with their own bulletin board.
Air-condition unit in the Instrumentation Lab for the Electrical Engineering department will be provided.
Hopefully, if CIT will become a university, Mr. Escario has heeded to the call of the CIT Alumni to rename it into CIT University instead. But, if you have name suggestions, feel free to submit it to us for forwarding to Mr. Escario's office.
More resolutions on issues will be posted. Please keep in touch.
