On July 1, 2026, the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management, MMSU-CBEA, planted a new seed of hope in Barangay Sumader, City of Batac, Ilocos Norte โ the official launch of Program AURORA, anchored by Project STARS and Project GINTO, in partnership with the City Government of Batac.
This milestone also marked the kick-off of ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ซ๐ฆ๐ค๐ต ๐๐๐๐๐'๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต ๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ท๐ช๐ต๐บ: "๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ข๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ช๐ต๐บ-๐๐ข๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ฎ ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ช๐ด๐ฎ ๐๐ธ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ด๐ด"โ a step toward cultivating a community that sees its land not just as a source of livelihood, but as a living gateway to sustainable tourism.
This is more than a program. It is a promise โ that the knowledge, research, and passion built within our halls will walk beyond them, into the communities that need it most.
We are grateful for the guidance of the MMSU Extension Directorate, through Dr. Marlowe Aquino, represented by Ma'am Abegel Joson, and for the steadfast support of Prof. Emil James P. Tanagon, Dean of CBEA โ leaders who believe that tourism education must serve people, not just classrooms.
To DTHM, our partners, and the people of Sumader: this is only the beginning. AURORA rises.
