The Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management program continues its strong tradition of producing skilled seafarers, with a recent cohort of 24 students completing intensive training programs designed to launch their maritime careers. These dedicated students successfully concluded five essential certifications for seafarers at the PNTC Colleges—Maritime Training Center in Tanza, Cavite, a crucial step in preparation for their practicum and future employment in the maritime industry. These comprehensive training initiatives were spearheaded by Dean Dr. Ralph Angelo D. Alipio, whose dedication was instrumental in their successful ex*****on. The program's realization was significantly bolstered by the unwavering support of College President Dr. Haipa Abdurahim-Salain and Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA) Dr. Sheila U. Alonzo, whose leadership provided the necessary institutional backing.
We extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Marivic V. Iriberri, CHED Region 9 Director; Dr. Jose Vicente A. Regalado, Education Supervisor 2 for Hospitality and Tourism; and Raisa A. Madayag, Regional SAS Focal Person, in allowing these vital activities to proceed. Our appreciation also goes to Captain Lito Bacaylan, master of the vessel; Miss Monet dela Vega; and Mr. Bryan Manalansang, shipboard training officer of 2GO Travel. We also acknowledge MYX Ticketing Travel Tours, operated by Maam Mitch and Mr. Allan Enriquez, for their excellent coordination and travel arrangements.
We celebrate our students' dedication and eagerly anticipate their continued success in the maritime industry!
