Students from the University of the Cordilleras–College of Information Technology and Computer Science (UC CITCS) made history as the first Philippine team to finish in the Top 3 of the ERPsim World Cup during the ERPsim International Competition 2026 held on June 11.
The team was composed of Lady Queenie Centeno, Kyra Daphne Gonzales, Jason Eurick Ignacio, Ralvin Jay Magalong, and Karl Prinze Wendel Valera. They were mentored by UC CITCS faculty member Luis William Meing.
Composed of four BS Information Technology major in Enterprise Resource Planning (BSIT-ERP) students and one BS Computer Science student, the UC team earned its place in the global competition after excelling in the ERPsim Asia Pacific and China (APAC) Regional Competition, where they competed against 25 universities from across Asia.
Representing the Philippines on the world stage, the UC delegation competed alongside teams from Finland, Mexico, Canada, Slovenia, Chile, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and other countries. The competition, conducted online through Zoom and supported by SAP, challenged participants to make strategic, data-driven decisions in a realistic enterprise simulation environment.
The achievement highlights UC CITCS’ commitment to producing globally competitive graduates through industry-aligned education, hands-on learning, and experiential training. The team’s success was supported by intensive training sessions and simulation exercises conducted in the UC CITCS laboratories, allowing the students to apply classroom concepts to real-world business scenarios.
UC CITCS extends its congratulations to Lady Queenie Centeno, Kyra Daphne Gonzales, Jason Eurick Ignacio, Ralvin Jay Magalong, Karl Prinze Wendel Valera, and their mentor, Luis William Meing, for bringing pride to the University of the Cordilleras and representing the Philippines with excellence in the global ERPsim competition.
