⚠️ SCAM ALERT: Don't Fall for the "Free Data" Trap! ⚠️
If you receive a message in Messenger promising "FREE 51GB DATA" for Labor Day, DO NOT CLICK IT. This is a phishing scam designed to steal your personal information or hijack your account.

🚩 Why this is a scam:
Too Good to be True: No network provider gives away 51GB of data for free via a random Messenger link.

Suspicious Links: These messages often lead to unofficial websites that look real but are designed to harvest your login credentials.

Spreading Like Wildfire: If a friend sent this to you, their account might already be compromised.

Official Confirmation: According to DITO PH Telecommunity, the link in this message is not an official website.

Legitimate Sources: Legitimate promos from DITO are only announced through their official apps, websites, or verified pages.

🛡️ How to Stay Safe:
Think Before You Click: If you didn't expect it, don't click it.

Verify with Providers: Check the official social media pages or websites of GOMO, DITO, or Smart for any real promotions.

Warn Your Friends: If you see a friend sharing this, let them know privately so they can secure their account.

Don't let scammers ruin your long weekend. Stay alert and keep your data safe! 🛡️💻

To the hands that build, the minds that innovate, and the hearts that care—thank you. Today, we celebrate all kinds of workers who keep our world moving forward. From the fields to the offices, classrooms to the hospitals, your dedication does not go unnoticed. Take this day to rest and reflect; you've earned it! Happy Labor Day! 🛠️🌾💻👩‍🏫🩺

The Junior Philippine Computer Society - PTC Chapter is continuing the PTC UP: Game Development Knowledge Transfer series to help aspiring developers level up their technical skills.

Our second session, titled "Session 2: Game Data, Backend, Database, APIs, and Programming," is specifically designed to provide 1st Year BSIT and CCS students at Pateros Technological College with a deeper dive into the technical backbone of game development.

The program kicks off on April 15, 2026 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, beginning with a general assembly and formal opening ceremonies. Throughout the morning, participants will explore an Introduction to Game Programming and Backend, followed by a comprehensive discussion on Databases.

In the afternoon, the focus shifts toward understanding APIs. To ensure the knowledge sticks, the day features dedicated Hands-on Activities and Demos both in the morning and afternoon, allowing students to apply what they have learned in a practical setting.

Please be advised that this session is exclusive to official members of the organization. To participate, members must register through the link sent to their respective institutional emails.

This event will be hosted by Mr. John Paulo Tena alongside JPCS-PTC President Mr. Marc Emill Blancada, who will also be delivering the closing remarks. Highlighting the session is a powerhouse lineup of speakers from the 4th Year BSIT students, featuring Ms. Jhelna Mae Evangelio and Mr. Justin Angelo Eleria, who are ready to share their expertise in the field.

"Ang bawat tapak ay kasaysayan, ang bawat sugat ay kalayaan. Saludo sa mga bayaning hindi sumuko at sa dugong nananalaytay sa ating mga ugat—ang dugong magiting.

Ngayong Ika-9 ng Abril 2026, huwag nating hayaang mapundi ang sulo ng kanilang sakripisyo. Panatilihin nating buhay ang kanilang alaala hindi lang sa bawat pag-alala, kundi sa pagpapatuloy ng laban para sa isang maunlad at malayang bukas. Atin ang sulo, tayo ang pag-asa!"
