The Turing Award, named after the British mathematician considered to be one of the fathers of modern computer science, is dubbed as the "Nobel Prize of Computing."
ACM, through its award-winning Philippine Chapter, UP ACM, in partnership with the Department of Computer Science, will be sponsoring this rare event here in the College of Engineering.

Will do, Kuya Harv. :) Sorry I wasn't able to do so earlier -- time constraints.
