What began as their first step into regional competition became a proud moment for Colegio de Kidapawan (CdK) as its Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) students brought home multiple awards and secured 11th place out of 23 participating colleges and universities across Region XII during the 14th Philippine Society of Information Technology Students (PSITS) Regional Convention 2026, held on November 6–7 in Tacurong City, Sultan Kudarat.
Making their regional debut, the CDK delegation proved that being newcomers did not stop them from competing with confidence and determination. Their efforts paid off as they earned recognition in four different competitions, showcasing their skills and knowledge alongside students from other institutions.
The delegation delivered an impressive performance in the Hiphop Competition, taking home the CHAMPION title. They also secured 1st Runner-Up in Quiz Bowl, 3rd Runner-Up in Programming, and 4th Runner-Up in Logo Making, marking a successful first appearance at the regional level.
For CdK-BSIT, this is only the beginning of a promising journey. Their first regional appearance has already made its mark, proving that grit can turn a first attempt into a remarkable achievement. They may have entered as first-timers, but they left with a name and a performance that made the entire CdK proud.
