The SPAC School of Computer Science proudly participated in the 26th Philippine Computing Science Congress (PCSC), held from April 23-25, 2026 at the University of Immaculate Conception (UIC) Bajada Campus. Organized by the Computing Society of the Philippines (CSP), the conference gathered researchers, professionals, and students to discuss challenges and innovations in the field of computing and information technology. The event featured plenary sessions and workshops that inspired learning and deepened discussions in utilizing emerging technologies with a purpose.

Eleven students, accompanied by their adviser Ma'am Neila Paglinawan-Muñez, participated in various workshops and hands-on activities. SPAC contributed significantly to the event, with five groups presenting their studies with audiences from various universities across the Philippines.

The presenters and their respective research titles are as follows:

Mc Sergel G. Cardaño, Nice O. Bulio - "Machine Learning-Based Regional K-12 Enrollment Forecasting and Volatility Classification for Adaptive Resource Allocation in the Philippines"

Lysha T. Silva - "Handwritten Gregg Shorthand Brief Forms Recognition Using Convolutional Neural Networks"

Jane T. Antoque, Samuel R. Lucero, Frence Clifford O. Pillodar - "Integrating Adaptive Mechanisms for Feature Selection with Mayfly Algorithm, Monarch Butterfly Optimization, and Monarch Mayfly Optimization"

Rani Jay M. Natavio, Katelyn Leigh Guanzon - "Early Dengue Diagnosis using Machine Learning on Structured Clinical and Hematological Data"

Earl Jay G. Torayno, J Faye Champ A. Asaria - "Comparative Study of MobileNetV2 and Hybrid MobileNetV2 with SVM Classifier for Efficient Waste Classification in Low-Resource Environments"

The participation of our students continue to reflect SPAC's commitment to academic excellence and its goal to promote the growth and development of ICT in the community. The college congratulates its researchers for their dedication to advancing knowledge and bringing honor to the institution.
