From a pool of 156 proposals down to the final stage, the journey has been nothing short of remarkable.

Through the rigorous provincial, regional, and national vetting process, and in proud collaboration with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Department of Tourism (DOT), we have witnessed firsthand the incredible creativity and ingenuity of our students. It was truly inspiring to see the regional winners showcase their prototypes in person.

After much deliberation, three standout schools emerged as our national winners, representing the brilliance of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Each team is receiving ₱5 million in seed money to bring their visionary proposals to life.

Huge congratulations to:
LUZON WINNER: Naga College Foundation (Region 5) Project: GoDare

VISAYAS WINNER: Siquijor State College (Negros Island Region) Project: SiquiScan: Smart Destination Management System for Sustainable Tourism in the Island of Siquijor

MINDANAO WINNER: Ateneo de Davao University (Region 11) Project: Kuyog - Find and Book Local Tour Guides A Local Travel Companion and Digital Expo App

Congratulations to the students, mentors, and regions! Your hard work has officially paid off.
