Southville Institute of Tourism

“Our Tourism students, through their F&B subject, proudly pitched their culinary creations while immersing themselves in the kitchen under the guidance of Chef Cecille Belleza.”

From engaging talks and interactive exhibits — including the crowd-favorite Sari-Sari Store booth — to exciting badminton matches and the crowning of the new Mr. & Ms. Junior Tourism Ambassadors, the event became a celebration of talent, teamwork, and Southville spirit.

Congratulations to all the students, faculty, staff, and organizers who made this meaningful and successful event possible. One Team Southville!
