SAN SEBASTIAN TIES-UP WITH PAGCOR

ACD/11.04.09

Adapting another curricular breakthrough, the College of International Hospitality Management (CIHM) initiated a partnership with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) to introduce the subject LEISURE, SPORTS AND AMUSEMENT MANAGEMENT. Said subject will be offered to 3rd year HRRM (Hotel Restaurant and Resort Management) students which will be handled by PAGCOR’s training arm the Asian Gaming Academy (AGA). The Memorandum of Agreement was signed by Mr. Rafael Butch Francisco, PAGCOR’s Chief Operating Officer and Rev. Fr. Anthony A. Morillo, OAR (SSC-R Manila President). Present during the signing were Mr. Sisenando Solis (Senior Administrative Manager, AGA), Atty. Bernadette Chua, Ms. Armi Braganza Asst. VP, AGA), Rev. Fr. Leander Barot, OAR (VP-Academic Affairs, SSC-R), Rev. Fr. Leonardo Pauligue, OAR (VP-Administration, SSC-R), and Dr. Corazon Reyes (CIHM Dean, SSC-R).

This project is viewed to strengthen CIHM students’ competency as they become exposed to industry practice and prepare to be truly globally competitive with real industry leader and authority. The move is another earnest strategy to magnify the school’s competitive positioning and advantage.
