UPD, ADMU AND DLSU Compete for International Competition


Four student groups from the University of the Philippines – Diliman (UPD), Ateneo de Manila University (ADMU) and De La Salle University (DLSU) will compete for the chance to represent the country during the 3rd edition of the Indra Future Minds Competition.

Indra Future Minds Competition is an international university competition which provides a venue for undergraduates to demonstrate their talent and skills in managing solutions based on real projects developed by Indra, the leading IT company in Spain.

The Philippines first joined the international university competition last year, with UPD students Maria Katrina E. Volante, Benedict Ivan A. Andrade and Erwin L. Soleta, representing the country. The Philippines team qualified for the final phase and went to Spain to compete against three other universities, eventually winning the whole competition.


For the third edition, the Philippines will now send two teams to participate in the competition. An Interuniversity Competition locally will determine the university students who will compete against other universities from all over the world during the global competition.

The Philippine office of Indra sent out invitations to the top universities in the country, looking for students in the field of technology and innovation, with strong academic records, the initiative and ability to work in a team, with keen interest in volunteerism, internships and grants, and possessing good social and communication skills.

The applicants were then evaluated through the company’s standard recruitment process.

Two teams from UPD were then chosen to compete in the local competition. The first team from UPD consists of Angelica Joyce Ramos and Ian Catamora, both taking up Bachelors of Science in Electronics and Communications Engineering (BS ECE), and Shane Jayson Cruz, taking up Bachelors of Science in Industrial Engineering (BS IE).

The members of the second team from UPD are John Arden Orata and Jhoanne Clarize Monta, both taking up BS ECE as well, and Paolo Martin Santos, a Bachelors of Science in Materials Engineering (BS MatEng) student.

The students from ADMU are Robert Alfie Peṅa and Joshua Mendoza, both BS ECE students and Brian Lao, studying Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering (BS CoE).

Meanwhile, the DLSU team composed of Jerome Cuevas and John Clifford Konwat, both taking up BS ECE, and Catherine Denise Rollan, a BS IE student.
