Technology held at SMX Convention Center, Pasay City. The y4it that I was
really looking forward to. I was very excited because all the IT students all
over the Philippines will come and meet in one place. I was also excited not

speakers that will come and share there experience to us in the fields of software
development and application programs. The day that I was really looking forward
to. The speakers are very awesome and have wide range of experience, there I
learned so many things. That's why I really focused on topics that they were
discussing.

programs that they are using so we could also practice on that.
