The Mariano Marcos State University–College of Computing and Information Sciences (MMSU–CCIS) team secured a Top 12 semifinal finish in the Early-Stage Project Competition Track of the Enactus Philippines National Competition 2026, held on October 9–10, 2026, at De La Salle University in Manila.

Competing with FarmKonek, an agricultural technology startup concept, the team advanced to the semifinals after initially qualifying among the Top 60 teams selected from more than 200 entries nationwide.

The university was represented by fourth-year Information Technology students Marc Joseph Buduan Sacopaso and Juniene Gwyneth Montano Basilio, together with third-year student Angelo Laurence Ancheta Palting. They were mentored by their coach, Dr. Napoleon Mabanta Cacanindin.

FarmKonek was presented as a proposed solution to help local farmers gain direct access to buyers and work toward greater financial stability. Through crop pre-purchasing and risk prediction models, the concept seeks to address uncertainties in agricultural production and marketing while creating better opportunities for farming communities.

Before reaching the national stage, FarmKonek received the highest score among MMSU submissions and became the official campus representative under Enactus’ one-team-per-campus policy. KFP Upcycled Products earned the second-highest score and was designated as the alternate representative.

The team’s semifinal finish brought pride to MMSU–CCIS and recognition to an idea centered on farmers’ needs. Their achievement highlighted how students can apply computing knowledge and entrepreneurial thinking to challenges beyond the classroom.

Out of more than 200 entries nationwide, a team from the Mariano Marcos State University–College of Computing and Information Sciences (MMSU–CCIS) has successfully secured a spot in the top 60 of the early-stage project competition track at the Enactus Philippines National Competition 2026.

Representing the university are Marc Joseph B. Sacopaso, Juniene Gwyneth M. Basilio, and Angelo Laurence A. Palting, all of whom are Information Technology students under the guidance of their coach, Dr. Napoleon M. Cacanindin.

Following the Enactus policy that allows only one official entry per campus, all MMSU submissions underwent a rigorous evaluation process. FarmKonek earned the highest score to become the official campus representative. Meanwhile, another standout MMSU project, KFP Upcycled Products, secured the second-highest score and was named the alternate representative.

The team's qualifying entry is FarmKonek, an agricultural technology startup concept designed to empower local farmers. The project leverages crop pre-purchasing futures and risk prediction models to provide agricultural workers with direct market access and enhanced financial security.

With less than a month left before the event, the MMSU–CCIS delegates are actively refining their business models, pricing mechanisms, and presentation decks. They are set to compete on the national stage on October 9 and 10, 2026, at De La Salle University (DLSU) in Manila.

The Enactus competition serves as a premier platform for student leaders to showcase entrepreneurial action and socially responsible business models that drive positive community impact.
