This year’s Philippine teams are not just aiming to compete—they’re determined to reclaim their place among the world’s best. Arrowhead Robotics has a strong legacy on the global stage. The team made history in 2020 as the first and only Filipino team to win the VEX Robotics World Skills Championship. In 2023, team members Gian Nicolas Q. Casimiro, Jose Antonio S. Hernandez, and Enrique Alonso M. Pioquinto achieved a World No. 3 ranking. All three return in 2025 with renewed focus to surpass their previous standing after missing a podium finish in 2024.

Remarkably, 15-year-old Casimiro is competing in both the High School and Middle School divisions this year, showing his commitment and exceptional skill.
