Carl John Pactao-in of 4-BSINFOSYS-A, Information Systems Representative/President, represented PSITS-USM at the Intellectual Property (IP) Workshop for Student Innovators held on October 28, 2026, at the USM Smart Technology Business Incubator Office in Kabacan, Cotabato.

The workshop was organized by the University of Southern Mindanao’s Intellectual Property, Technology Transfer, and Business Development Office (IPTTBDO). It covered patents, utility models, copyright, and intellectual propety.

For students working on software, applications, and research projects, understanding intellectual property is especially relevant. Their projects may involve original designs, written content, or new technical solutions. Knowing what protetion applies to each type of work can help them take the right steps to protect their ideas and creations from plagiarism and digital piracy.

The workshop provided an opportunity for the representatives to learn more about protecting their work from plagiarism and consider how intellectual property applies to projects they may develop during their studies and career.

𝗪𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗻 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗵𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗧 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗫𝗜𝗜 𝗣𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Securing the 1st Runner-Up spot, Team Wanowan Tech Solutions emerged victorious in the Philippine Startup Challenge XI Regional Competition hosted by the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Region XII on October 27, 2026.

The achievement began through the collaborative effort of third-year Computer Science students Ms. Rachel Joy Pacot, Mr. Anjuvh Baldwin Yguinto, and Mr. Carlo Castro, guided by the motivation and support of their mentor, Sir. Ryan Z. Gonzaga, who encouraged the team to develop and pitch their concept.

Their participation centered on the development of Orbi Wallet, a keyless Web3 smart wallet leveraging WebAuthn PRF passkeys.

Moreover, this achievement has earned commendations from the Philippine Society of Information Technology Students (PSITS) community, which recognized the founders for their dedication to building digital solutions.

Defining the vision behind their team, Pacot said, "Wanowan is an umbrella company we're building with the goal of creating 100+1 solutions."

She further shared a message for future creators, stating that the journey requires immediate action over perfect conditions. "You just have to look at what’s broken around you and start building. You don't need to be somewhere or be someone first before you can contribute. Start wherever you are, because Anjuvh and I literally started this as a joke to build as many projects as we can, and now it's becoming real," Pacot added.

As their way of attributing their success to their support system, the members expressed their appreciation to Sir Gonzaga, whose mentorship helped turn their foundational concepts into recognized achievements.
