The Manaoag National High School Robotics Team has once again proven that Filipino youth are talented and capable of competing on the global stage.

This comes after being crowned champions at the recently concluded RoboLution 2024: Robotics and Automation International Competition, held at the University of Makati on December 6-7, 2024.

Their victory was recognized by Governor Ramon V. Guico III during a courtesy call at the Urduja Ceremonial Hall.

At the gathering, Governor Guico expressed his admiration and support for the group.

Following the competition, the team is now preparing for the EuroAsia and World Championships set to take place in Antalya, Turkey, and Rome, Italy.

They are also set to compete in the International Robotics Championship in Romania this coming May.

Their goal is to bring home another championship, carrying the Philippine flag and representing Pangasinan with pride.

Meanwhile, Pangasinenses’ long-time dream of having a dedicated dialysis center at the Western Pangasinan District Hospital has finally come true.

Under the leadership of Governor Ramon V. Guico III, the facility was officially opened on Monday, January 20.

The 15-seater dialysis center in Alaminos City offers free and affordable medical services to Pangasinenses in need.

In its 62 years of operation, this is the first time WPDH has had such a facility.

Dialysis patients in the province expressed their joy, saying the free dialysis treatments provided by the facility bring them much relief.
