A feast of Filipino flavors!

❮

❯

Our BS Hospitality Management students showcased culinary artistry during the Philippine Cuisine Exhibit last December 1, presenting traditional dishes with creativity, skill, and cultural pride. Truly a celebration of our rich food heritage! 🍲🌺

From limited resources to leading a development team, Wyns John Marco D. Alvez proves that determination is stronger than any challenge.

 A proud BS Information Technology, Class of 2022 graduate, Wyns now works as a Software Developer at Metropolitan Bank & Trust Company, where he also serves as a team lead—a role shaped by the skills and mindset he built at STI.

Wyns recalls how STI prepared him not only in programming, but in facing real-world problems, working with a team, and leading with purpose. Despite not having his own laptop back then, he persevered by maximizing the school’s computer labs, managing his time, and pushing himself to grow.

Among the lessons he carries with him today are simple yet powerful reminders:

“Always analyze the problem. Always read instructions before trying anything else.”

These principles, along with discipline and passion, helped him turn challenges into stepping stones toward success. 🌟

Congratulations, STI Balayan Athletes!

A huge salute to our student-athletes for their outstanding performance at the Athletic Division Meet held last November 23–28 in San Juan, Batangas! Your hard work, discipline, and fighting spirit truly shone throughout the competition.

You carried the STI Balayan pride with heart and excellence—and we couldn’t be prouder! 🙌🔥

Special thanks to our dedicated coaches for their guidance, commitment, and unwavering support that pushed our athletes to be their best.

Mahusay Balayan spikes their way to 2nd place!!

 

𝗪𝗔𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚-𝗧𝗜𝗚𝗜𝗟 𝗡𝗔 𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗡! Bagamat hindi nakuha ang inaasam na kampeonato, buong giting na ipinamalas ng Balayan Secondary Volleyball Team ang kanilang husay at tapang upang masungkit ang First Runner-Up (2nd Place) sa katatapos pa lamang na Division Meet 2025!

Bilang defending champions, mas mabigat ang pressure na kanilang dinala, ngunit pinatunayan ng koponan na mayroon pa ring dumadaloy na pusong tigre sa kanilang mga ugat. Sa isang matindi at dikit na laban, ipinakita nila ang matatag na depensa at naglalagablab na opensa hanggang sa huling punto.

"Ipinagmamalaki namin kayo! Ang Puso ng Balayan, Patuloy na Lumalaban!"

Students of BS in Hospitality Management (2101 & 2102) proudly showcased the beauty of Filipino 🇵🇭 culinary traditions through a well-curated display of regional dishes that highlight the depth, artistry, and identity of our culture.

This food exhibit not only celebrated the diverse flavors of the Philippines, but also served as a meaningful reminder of how cuisine connects us to our roots, preserves our rich heritage, and strengthens our unity as one nation.

Truly, food is more than nourishment, it is a story of who we are. 🍽️

Risk Management as Applied to Safety, Security, and Sanitation Emergencies can happen anytime, anywhere, and being prepared can make the difference between lite and death. First aid is not just a skill—it's the first step in saving lives and easing pain before professionals arrive. From assessing the scene to performing CPR, applying bandages, and using proper techniques, every action counts. By learning and practicing these lifesaving skills, we become capable responders who can act quickly and confidently. Safety, awareness, and readiness are key to protecting ourselves and others in critical situations. ⛑️
