For instant, our school Don Bosco Technical College was participated for this event to show the ability and skill of each team members in terms of technical and other academic performance. So, I humbly to say that one of I’m lucky being as a member of this event as a Cadet. And I know that even if this extra-curricular was very difficult to balance the time because we also studying some subject together with this event. But I’m very thankful that I already handled it of this situation because I’m part of this event.

We (Team Forza) hardly do our task just to finish our car the prototype (HEV). However, when they come, the final event was already started and every each student of our school was already goes to the venue in Manila Rizal Part. We saw the different design and innovation of each car from different team/school. Each of cars was amazing and great built and very environmental friendly. And we also saw in the venue the energy lab, every single innovation was very purposes for the environment.
