Students from STI campuses across the country put their skills and knowledge to the test during the annual STI Tagisan ng Talino (TNT), a nationwide competition highlighting excellence in technology, communication, tourism and culinary arts.

The event was held from May 11 to 13 at STI College Ortigas-Cainta and concluded on 14 May at Teachers Camp in Baguio City.

One of the featured competitions was Codefest, where student teams developed mobile applications designed to support disaster resilience through features such as real-time alerts, incident reporting, evacuation mapping and post-disaster assessments.

Among the entries, “Bayanihan,” created by students from STI College Rosario, stood out for its Bluetooth messaging feature aimed at addressing communication challenges during disasters.
