Isiah Galay and Cedric Lora: FEU Alabang's latest IT prodigies

Tamaraws from FEU Alabang solidified their marks in the IT community as they received prestigious awards from the Philippine Computer Society (PCS) last January 25, 2023.

Isiah Thomas A. Galay, a BSIT graduate with a specialization in Web and Mobile Application, and Cedric James S. Lora, also a BSIT graduate with a specialization in Animation and Game Development, were given the PCS’ Academic Excellence and Leadership Awards, respectively.

The awarding ceremony happened at the FEU Alabang chapel after the baccalaureate mass for the school’s first batch of college graduates. Dr. Joferson L. Bombasi, the Director of the College of Computer Studies and Multimedia Arts, with Engr. Reynaldo C. Muli, the Senior Director of Academic Affairs, presented the awards to the exceptional students.

Since their freshmen year, both Isiah and Cedric were already among the best and brightest IT students in FEU Alabang. Their time in the university served to be an impactful one, bringing with them notable awards and recognition in the IT community.

Isiah's top-notch knowledge and skills in Web and Mobile Application won him multiple programming competitions, such as the Young Software Coding Competition of UPLB and the 10th IT Olympics 2022 Java Programming Competition. His capstone project, titled "CryptSim: A Mobile Application with Advanced Cryptocurrency Trading Simulation," was presented at Techno Fest 2022 and received remarkable recognition.
