BRIEF HISTORY OF JPCS

FORMATION In January 1989, the Philippine Computer Society organized a group of young computer professionals, mostly students and computer enthusiasts. The group was called Philippine Computer Society - Junior Programmer's Guild (PCS-JPG). It aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of the youth in the field of Information Technology. It initially had 17 recognized chapters in Metro Manila and was under the Special Interest Group for Software that was spearheaded by Mr. Luis A. Chanco and Mr. Antonio “Bach” Cuyugan. At that time, the PCS-JPG was the only national student organization catering to computer enthusiasts coming from different schools. The PCS-JPG started its first two days in an off-campus computer workshop/conference at the MERALCO Foundation Institute (MFI). This was participated by all the 17 chapter schools and several guests from the Philippine Computer Society. In July 1990, PCS-JPG changed its name to Junior Philippine Computer Society (JPCS). It was a committee under the PCS. 1990 also saw the launching of the first national computer convention for the youth, Explore I.T. '90. The event was held at the Ateneo de Manila University in Makati. Although the organizers were mostly PCS members, the JPCS gained enough experience for their future projects. The success of the project raised the consciousness level of other schools and sectors of our society regarding JPCS.

NATIONAL JPCS At the start, JPCS consisted of different school chapters under the guidance of the Philippine Computer Society. There was no elected National JPCS to organize projects at the national level, and to promote unity among the different schools. 1991 saw the initial efforts in running a national JPCS. A national JPCS board was elected from the presidents of the local chapters and given the authority to make its own decisions and its own projects. Their biggest project is an inter-school student convention entitled “Explore I.T.” which started in 1992 and was held at the Intellect Building of De La Salle University. The project was very successful that it prompted JPCS to make Explore I.T. an annual event.
