The University of the Philippines Engineering Radio Guild presents SYNERGY: Electrical and Electronics Engineering Summit 2014, an event now stepping up its version of challenges specially designed for students in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) courses.

On its third year, SYNERGY brings with it a four-day gathering for future engineers to showcase their skills and intellect. SYNERGY will go beyond learning concepts and exploring theories acquired from the academe. With speakers from trending companies in the technology industry, students also build the career vision and skill potential they acquired from their interest and key studies. The event focuses on professional development and its potential in improving the country.

SYNERGY is composed of five major events, namely, Techno Talk, Ingenious Ideas, Revolutionary Robotics, Dynamic Discourse, and Corporate Connection.

Techno Talk is comprised of three short talks in which distinguished speakers will talk about the current and upcoming trends and innovations in the academe, industry, and government scenes for Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

In Ingenious Ideas, students are encouraged to think out of the box by solving scenarios or questions in the allotted time frame related to topics presented in Techno Talk.

It's been years since I watched a live musical play. The last one was a ballet show featuring Lisa Macuja, one of Manila's famed ballerinas at Aliw Theater, CCP. A few weeks ago, I had a chance to watch another live musical play this time just a few blocks from Aliw which is in Star Theater for the "Romeo & Juliet The Musical" by Kids Acts Philippines. This play as well all know is a reenactment of William Shakespeare's famous novel but it was made it clear by the production that it will be performed without sacrificing the original texts of the author to let young adults understand and comprehend on how the play is written. The dialogues are sung with full observance of how phrases are being read.

Watching these young actors and actresses portraying the characters was like me being transported when I was a student because I used to memorize these same exact lines just to pass our English literary subject. I wished we should have watched a play like this before because the learning is much better from watching than just merely reading a full text about it.

Though I find it hard to keep up with the fast conversation of the characters, maybe because the lines are written in heavy medieval English. I was also sitting beside my fellow bloggers they also say the same thing. I think it is better if they can also have a Tagalog version of "Romeo & Juliet The Musical". This does not mean though that we doubt the capabilities of the actors by any means but I think we can have this play closer to our hearts if spoken in our language.
