Map Maker Training at Central Mindanao University


October 30, 2014, Jeffry C. Manhulad, the Google Student Ambassador (GSA) – South East Asia from Liceo de Cagayan University, finally conducted the Map Maker Training at Central Mindanao University situated at Maramag, Bukidnon. Thirty students were chosen through online registration and additional ten passersby, in a total of 40 participants. The registrants were not limited within the university but were also extended to all nearby schools. In the said event, participants from Bukidnon State University, AMA Computer College CDO joined but most of the students are from Central Mindanao University taking up BS Information Technology.

The GSA program was been discussed and opportunities were opened for the students to know more about being a Google Student Ambassador, the needed conditions and roles in their campus. For those who can still qualify, they were highly encouraged to join the program.

Overall, the Map Maker Training’s purpose was to introduce and train the students in Google Map Making. Jeffry showed and taught the participants where to start, how to improve Google Map especially their desired places to upgrade, and what are the do’s and don’ts. Students got more interested and excited as they tried to edit places.


With the assistance of Google to make the event possible and fruitful, the budget was given for the snacks and Google T-shirt as freebies.

About Project UGOP Bukidnon

Project UGOP (Unveiling Google Opportunities for Progress) is a project for the Province of Bukidnon spearheaded by Jeffry C. Manhulad, the Google Student Ambassador (GSA) - Southeast-Asia for Liceo de Cagayan University. The word ‘ugop” was derived from a Manobo (a tribe in Bukidnon) term which means to help. The project aims to spread the Google Technologies which can greatly help students and teachers make their school works easier. Jeffry, being a Google Apps advocate and a hardworking member-volunteer at Google Developers Group (GDG) - Cagayan de Oro (CDO) was given the chance to apply for the Google Student Ambassadors Program and became an Ambassador with the help of GDG-CDO Manager, Ms. Josan Astrid Dometita. He was one of the 150 Google Student Ambassadors in Southeast-Asia who were invited to attend the GSA Summit 2014 held at Cebu City, Philippines which was attended by students from eight countries in Southeast-Asia such as Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, and Philippines.

With this once-in-a-lifetime chance of becoming an Ambassador of Google, who are tasked to “do cool things that matter” to the community and organize the GSA Program in his university. The program, which is backed by a team of students, the Google Students at Liceo de CagayanUniversity will help Google spread its technologies which can greatly impact the community, giving them chances to grab lots of opportunities to join Google programs either for students, educators, developers, and more.

The Project UGOP, which is just one of the many programs organized by thousands of GSAs around the world, will bring Google closer to the communities, not just in the city but also in provinces like Bukidnon and other places in Northern Mindanao since events organized by the GSAs is supported by Google, and therefore it is free and fun!
