October 23, 2023 - The APEC Schools New Manila had the honor of visiting Trinity University of Asia (TUA) under the supervision of Ms. Patricia De Guzman Canoy. During the visit, Ms. Canoy, along with APEC students, explored the TUA campus, gaining insights from student guides and facilitators while also witnessing the university's UN event. The warm invitation and hospitality extended by TUA showcased their professionalism in guiding the students throughout the day.
Beyond the delightful sight of the campus and inviting ambiance, the day was enriched with captivating events and activities. The dynamic mood was made better with a parade that included representatives from several countries, exciting intermission performances and fashion presentations, outdoor activities, and diverse cuisine areas. This is only a preview glimpse; why not join us, take a look at our pictures, and let us guide you through this historic day?
The vibrant parade of delegations from several countries was a highlight of the UN event at Trinity University. This spectacle not only exhibited their stunning clothes but also demonstrated their confidence in representing their countries. We excitedly joined them on their trek as the parade toured the entire school campus. The start of the event and its performances was held in Mandel Hall, wherein the following activity was taking place on their stage.
The stage was set for the program's formal debut, which included a heartfelt introduction from the Trinity host, a performance of the Philippine National Anthem, and an anthem-like APEC. The concert opened with a flawless performance that highlighted the outstanding costumes that each competitor was wearing to represent their nation. They showcased their greatest walks in addition to their gripping remarks and national insights. It was the performers' turn to make an impression during the intermission after their fashion show. The intermission performers had an amazing presentation, as shown in the photographs above, and showed off their extraordinary talent. Although this exercise may have gone on longer, time constraints forced us to continue exploring the other buildings and campus areas.
The rest of the tour was enjoyable, as it gave us the chance to take pictures of the remaining structures and investigate the interiors of each building that housed a different course. These comprised tours of facilities like the CHTM (College of Hospitality and Tourism Management), nursing, multimedia, cafeteria, and accounting. When each room opened and we saw firsthand the top-notch learning spaces designed for individual courses, we were astounded. We saw, for example, a fully functional kitchen that is open to HRM students and aspiring chefs, a hotel management simulation room where students can practice their abilities, a bar management course that provides prospective servers and company owners with practical experience in creating drinks, and much more.
OOur final stop after seeing TRINITY was the CHTM (College of Hospitality and Tourism Management), where we learned about the great learning opportunities and a variety of courses Trinity offers for our college adventure. We would like to express our appreciation to the kind staff at Trinity who, during the campus tour, demonstrated the outstanding beauty of TRINITY UNIVERSITY OF ASIA with professionalism and good character. We extend our sincere gratitude to Elaine Bernardo, a College of Hospitality and Tourism Management faculty member, who guided us on our final trip and shared her knowledge and skills with us students. Furthermore, we are grateful to Campus and third-year BS Hospitality Management students Jericho Afalla, Cyrill Cabantoc, Rej Totanes, Zacharie Geronimo, and Mike Dealo for their hard work.
