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!

The Project UGOP Bukidnon kick off its version 1.0 at Talakag Bukidnon conducting Seminar-Workshops on Google Technologies for Elementary teachers of Talakag Central School and Cacaon Elementary School last August 16, 2014.

The teacher-attendees were also given the chances to learn about the power of Google's email service--GMail and other Google Apps for education.

The teachers were even more thrilled as they experience the file collaboration capability of Google Drive and Google Docs, and also the Google URL shortener. It's one of the most useful free apps of Google for its online customers.
