Lycean Testimonials

JOHN RICK DC. CARINGAL Bachelor of Science in Customs Administration, 2014

Being a student in a university like LPU where topnotchers and successful people are being shaped, we were expected and taught to be tough and excel not only academically, but also in extra-curricular activities.

On top of quality education, state-of-the-art facilities, and a professional environment, I have learned the confidence to speak with different levels of people. I have used the situations that the College of Business Administration (CBA) has put me into. From training to competitions, from personal mentorship to public speaking, these have greatly enriched me with the knowledge and skills that I need for my roles today.

Michael V. Maranan, Businessman/Entrepreneur

Brother Mike is an active member of the community and of the organizations he leads and supports that range from biking clubs to agri-tourism associations, from commerce groups to customs broker federations in and out of the country. Despite his impressive list of achievements and accolades, he remains true to his passion as a leader, innovator, health and wellness advocate, and above all, as a man of simplicity. He often takes refuge from the hustle and bustle of the big city by visiting his organic farm in Taal, Batangas.

Dexter A. Buted Jr., BS Customs Administration 4th Year

I am a proud Lycean because LPU-Batangas recognizes potential, and once they see it, they will support you and give you opportunities to develop you to the fullest. This institution propelled me to greater heights and today, I can say that I have journeyed long and far from where I was on my first day in LPU. It is with pride that I have successfully represented LPU and the Philippines to several international programs held in Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, and South Korea. LPU-Batangas’ magnanimous support paved the way for me to experience culture and learning the ASEAN way.
