The holding of the event will be done in coordination with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and in partnership with the local government and various development agencies.

The Zamboanga Peninsula will at the same time play host to the four-day 4th One-Town One-Product (Otop) Mindanao Island Fair 2009, which will also be held in the city."

This is are two of the grand events which will happen in Zamboanga in preparation for the coming Feast of the La Virgen del Pilar (Fiesta Pilar). Merchants from all over Mindanao will be displaying their goods at the Garden Orchid Hotel from October 9 to 11.

And ofcourse, STI College Zamboanga will be playing a big part in the event. Selected students will be tasked to document and monitor all sales from the convention. These students are members of the Junior Philippine Computer Society (STI Zamboanga chapter) and members of the STI Silicone Valley Club, a club specifically for students who excel in the field of Information and Communications Technology. Their skills include, programming, web developing, database management, flash animation, and many other ICT related skills.

Together with their moderator, these students will dedicate their work to the city of Zamboanga, and to their alma-mater, STI College Zamboanga.

The following are the students who will be working for the said event:

• BJ Duran, IT 311
