PHILTOA President; Maria Lourdes Flor Japson and 1st Vice President; Mary Ann Ong Mao proudly joined the SHRIM Partners Night on 13 August 2026 at Halle de Rheims, De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde, as the School of Hotel, Restaurant and Institution Management celebrated 30 Stellar Years of excellence in hospitality, tourism, and culinary education.
The evening honored the valued partners whose collaboration has helped empower students, strengthen programs, and contribute to the continued growth of hospitality and tourism education.
For PHILTOA, this recognition affirms our role as a go-to association for Philippine tourism connecting the industry with government, businesses, institutions, and the academe to create meaningful opportunities, share expertise, and help shape the future of tourism.
Our partnership with Benilde SHRIM reflects a shared commitment: to bridge what is taught in the classroom with what the industry needs in the real world. Through stronger industry-academe collaboration, we help nurture future-ready tourism and hospitality professionals who can lead, innovate, and make a difference.
Because being the go-to association is not simply about being present; it is about being trusted to connect, collaborate, and create impact.
Congratulations, Benilde SHRIM, on 30 Stellar Years of stellar achievement! We are honored to be part of your circle of partners and look forward to building even more meaningful collaborations for Philippine tourism.
