Despite all the ups and downs of the business, I am still on top of my game. Also, I could say that Lyceum of the Philippines University Batangas has taught me the essential knowledge to keep up with the competition in the industry. Its various programs under the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management provided the right exposure to many opportunities in the “real world” and equipped me with the proper training and experiences which I was able to use in my practice. There are challenges to come but LPU-Batangas has prepared me to be a versatile, competitive, and socially responsible hospitality professional and food service provider.

LPU is the right institution where you realize that your dream is reachable. Very generous to the students who are willing to learn, making sure that the graduates are well rounded in their chosen industry to become a very successful professional. LPU is intentionally designed to develop your intellect across multiple disciplines, as well as critical life skills, professional capabilities, and key aspects of your character. Your undergraduate education needs to be as multidimensional as you are. It should challenge you academically, expose you to a diversity of global cultures, and enable you to develop the broad knowledge and practical skills needed to solve the most complex issues of our time. My valuable experience in LPU-Batangas was when we had community service at the SHL Gawad Kalinga Village. This experience made me realize that I was very fortunate because my parents can provide the basic needs for my family and others cannot since they don’t have the means even for the most basic of things like food, clothing, and shelter. After that, I became more motivated to do well in school. Every day is a valuable experience as students were honed to be globally competitive since the institution sets the bar higher when it comes to excellence. I am who I am because of the knowledge I got from school. Thank you LPU for teaching me how to reach my dream. The culture that I saw…being humble and always have passion for what you do when I was studying were the main reasons why I always stand out from the rest of my co-workers. I owe my success to my beloved LPU family now I am a Resident ManagerofRaintree Hospitality Group, Boracay. Continue building the legacy of leading young minds to the frontier of the future.  #ButiNaLangNagLyceumAko

LPU opened a lot of opportunities for me in different bartending competitions which made my career and myself ready for the world. I was a 4-time National Champion of the Philippines for Flair bartending and Top 8 in the World for in the International Bartending Association (IBA) Word Flair bartending Competition held in Tokyo, Japan in 2016. Being a top flair bartender in the world was my dream and I thank the College of International Tourism and Hospitality Management for all the support I got when I was still a student. I previously worked as a Food and Beverage Executive at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Head bartender at the Fat Prince in Singapore, and now an On-trade Specialist at Willian Grant and Sons Singapore Distribution Pte.
