Responding to ABS-CBN’s invitation to represent the local youth sector, seventeen Technologians took part in the
ABS-CBN Harapan: The Vice-Presidential Debate last Sunday, March 21, at 10 PM.
The debate, held in Manila, was attended by six vice-presidential aspirants, namely, Sen. Loren Legarda, Sen. Mar Roxas, Makati City Mayor Jejomar Binay, former Metropolitan Manila Development Authority Chairman Bayani Fernando, broadcaster Jay Sonza, and Atty. Perfecto Yasay, Jr. The CIT group was part of the 45-person live audience in Cebu, with Naga City and Davao City as other key simulcast points in the country.
Mark Anthony Razonable, a BSECE-3 student, felt happy to join the event. He said, "It made me realize that now is the time to do something for the betterment of our beloved country." He was also privileged to express his sentiments and opinion through the wireless audience response system (WARS), a technology used during the event where members of the audience would press a button to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with a candidate’s statement. Aside from the credibility and competence of the candidate, how the candidate responded to the questions and issues raised during the debate also became strong criteria on his assessment of the candidate.
CIT-SSG President Alan Angelo Llevares, who led the CIT participants, believes that the event further enlightened Technologians in identifying the most capable and worthy candidate. Their participation demonstrated Technologians' civic-mindedness and active concern with events seriously affecting the nation.
The invitation, sent through the CIT-SSG, was open to all Technologians. Also among the audience were students of University of San Jose-Recoletos (USJR) and University of the Philippines Visayas – Cebu College (UPVCC), local businessmen and persons with disabilities (PWDs).

Noynoy Aquino emerged at the top during the mock presidential poll organized by
CIT-SSG as part of its voters education exhibit dubbed as

Nacionalista Party's Manny Villar was at third place with 11.79 % of the votes followed by Bagumbayan's Richard Gordon who got 4.68% of the votes.

Students were also encouraged to speak their mind by sharing their thoughts on what they were looking for in their choice of president. The exhibit was part of CIT-SSG's initiative to guide individuals within its own sphere of influence to make informed choices on the coming 2010 national elections.

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:
- 7-9 AM
- 12 NN - 2 PM
- 5-8 PM
