The report explained that the 12th Philippine Robotics Olympiad (PRO) was launched on June 21 "in order to choose who will represent the country for the WRO this year." Felta Multi Media Inc., the organizer of the PRO, said in a statement during the launch that the winners of the national competition "will represent the Philippines in the WRO 2013 to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia on November 15-17 2013."
