This remarkable achievement affirms LPU-Batangas’ growing presence in the Asian higher education landscape and its commitment to providing globally responsive, future-ready, and industry-driven education.

Through the leadership of Dr. Peter P. Laurel, President of LPU-Batangas, and as represented by Dr. Conrado I. Dotong, Assistant Vice President for Student Services, the University continues to build meaningful international linkages with distinguished higher education institutions.

LPU-Batangas takes pride in forging this partnership with NCNU, one of Taiwan’s top universities, recognized in international rankings, under the leadership of Dr. Dong-Sing Wuu, President of National Chi Nan University and President-Elect of the Hanseatic League of Universities.

More than a partnership, this milestone is a strategic step toward expanding opportunities for student mobility, faculty collaboration, research engagement, cultural exchange, innovation, and global learning experiences.

As LPU-Batangas continues to excel in Asia, it remains steadfast in its mission to develop globally competitive Lyceans and strengthen its role as an industry-driven university in the Asia-Pacific Region and beyond.

A partnership rooted in sustainability and Filipino pride officially took shape as LPU-Batangas and Megaworld Hotels & Resorts marked the opening of their collaboration through a meaningful Sampaguita planting activity at the Arboretum of the Riverside Campus, May 12, 2026.

LPU-Batangas was led by University President Dr. Peter P. Laurel alongside other university officials, while the Megaworld Hotels & Resorts delegation was headed by Managing Director Cleofe C. Albiso, together with Arturo P. Boncato Jr., Ederlinda F. Decano, Gracia D. Delos Reyes, Head of People Management Maria Loleth G. So, Mario H. Justo Jr., Socrates S. Alvaro, and Avinash Menon.

More than a ceremonial gathering, the initiative symbolized a shared commitment to environmental stewardship, cultural heritage, and purposeful partnerships that cultivate lasting impact beyond the classroom and industry.

The collaboration also reflects support for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 15: Life on Land, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, through collective efforts that promote sustainability, biodiversity conservation, and stronger academe-industry collaboration.

As signatures were etched in commitment and collaboration, LPU-Batangas and Megaworld Hotels & Resorts officially strengthened their partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding held at the Main Campus, May 12, 2026.

The ceremonial signing was led by University President Dr. Peter P. Laurel alongside other university officials, and Cleofe C.

Justo Jr., Socrates S. Alvaro, and Avinash Menon, formalizing a strategic academic-industry partnership between the university and Global One Hotel Group, Inc.

The collaboration will open opportunities for student internships and on-the-job training in Megaworld Hotels & Resorts properties, experiential learning programs, industry immersion activities, and the development of specialized micro-credentials and certifications in hospitality and tourism.

Anchored on the promotion of Filipino hospitality and culture, the partnership will also strengthen the implementation of the Sampaguita Project across LPU-Batangas campuses, reflecting both institutions’ shared commitment to sustainability, innovation, and transformative education.

The initiative further supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
