With dreams as our compass and innovation as our fuel, we took the stage to shape the future.
On October 4, 2023, at the University Library of Bataan Peninsula State University, our team, UpriseVisionaries—comprised of Gerome A. Tayao, Ma Socorro Burabod, and Rosemarie Codera—proudly represented Bulacan State University – Main Campus at the Regional Pitching Competition of DICT Region 3, as part of the prestigious 8th Philippine Startup Challenge. This milestone symbolizes months of dedication and relentless effort to bring our vision to life. We owe a debt of gratitude to our mentor, Dr. Josephine Bayonito, whose guidance and belief in us shaped our journey. The event was an exhilarating platform to share our innovative ideas, learn from industry leaders, and connect with fellow innovators. We are eternally thankful to everyone who supported us, whose encouragement fueled our determination and fortified our resolve to make a meaningful impact.
“The sky is not the limit; it is the beginning for those who dare to dream.”
This achievement embodies the transformative power of collaboration, resilience, and the courage to pursue one’s vision. Standing among visionary minds and presenting our ideas in such a dynamic environment reaffirmed the importance of dreaming big and staying committed. It reminded us that every milestone, no matter how small, is a step closer to turning aspirations into tangible success. Through this experience, we grew not only as individuals but as a team—refining our ideas, expanding our perspectives, and embracing the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
How does this inspire growth? This journey has taught us that success thrives on passion, innovation, and the support of a community that believes in your potential. It is a testament to the power of stepping out of comfort zones and seizing opportunities to grow. For others, we hope this story ignites the courage to pursue dreams fearlessly, knowing that challenges are mere stepping stones to greatness.
As UpriseVisionaries, we remain committed to gazing UP at the endless sky and summoning the strength to RISE. In our hearts as VISIONARIES, we hold steadfast to the belief that dreams, nurtured with passion and purpose, truly transform into reality. This is just the beginning, and we are ready to soar higher!
