🌿✨ Empowering Communities Through Sustainable Livelihood and Tourism Development! ✨🌿

On May 26, 2026, the College of Tourism and Hospitality Management (CTHM) successfully conducted the turnover of livelihood assistance to the beneficiaries of Project A.S.E.N.S.O. Camagong, providing support for the establishment and enhancement of community-based livelihood ventures.

This initiative reflects CTHM’s commitment to promoting sustainable tourism, entrepreneurship, community empowerment, and inclusive economic development. The program was further strengthened through the additional financial assistance extended by Barangay Camagong, highlighting the value of collaboration among academic institutions, local government units, and community stakeholders in creating sustainable opportunities for growth.

The College extends its sincere gratitude to the barangay officials, beneficiaries, faculty members, students, and partners whose support and dedication made this meaningful endeavor possible. Together, we continue to build resilient communities and create pathways toward a more sustainable and prosperous future.
