Fernandez and Antonio also did the drone flying ceremony for the innovative sports called drone soccer. It is a game of soccer but instead of kicking a ball, the 5 players piloted a drone encased in a protective cage and dodging other drones in scoring by flying through the glowing hoop. “This futuristic sport emphasizes learning, collaboration and teamwork” says Crissa May Busano, representative of the Philippine Drone Soccer Association (PDSA).
