The second day of 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐦 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 at 𝐓𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐠 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 was a meaningful continuation of our celebration, filled with creativity, resilience, and the spirit of community.

From the 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 activity to all of what happened on Day 2, participants showcased their dedication, ideas, and passion for tourism. Each effort reminded us that tourism is not only about destinations but also about people—their talents, their culture, and their ability to inspire transformation.

While not everything went exactly as planned, the essence of the celebration was clear: collaboration, unity, and learning. We sincerely thank all the participants who gave their best, the organizers who worked tirelessly to prepare each activity, the professors who guided and supported the students, the judges who lent their time and expertise in evaluating the competitions, and of course, the audience whose presence made the event even more meaningful.

Day 2 showed us that what matters most is not perfection, but the lessons we gain, the values we uphold, and the community we strengthen along the way.

On behalf of all of us, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to you, Prof. Emma Resano, for being more than just our guide and advisor for the World Tourism Event last September 24 & 25. You were not only our mentor, but also our source of strength, inspiration, and encouragement throughout the journey.

Thank you for constantly reminding us that we are capable of achieving great things, and for assuring us that we did a good job even when we doubted ourselves. Your patience, guidance, and wisdom have truly shaped not just the success of the event, but also our growth as students and individuals.

We know there were times we tested your patience and made you upset, but deep down we understood it came from your desire for us to give our best and make this event as close to perfect as possible. That tough love motivated us to work harder, stay committed, and believe in what we can do.

We will always be grateful for the countless hours you spent advising us, correcting us, and cheering for us. This event would not have been possible without your unwavering support and dedication. You are not only our professor, but also a mentor who genuinely cares for us.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Prof. Emma. You have left an unforgettable mark on this journey, and we are beyond blessed to have you as our advisor. 💚

With love and gratitude,
BSTM 3A & 3B

Arigatou gozaimasu, Sensei Roel Ballesteros, for being our guide, mentor, and advisor during the World Tourism Event held last September 24 and 25. Your presence and support have truly made this journey meaningful and successful.

Even though you are currently on vacation, you still took the time to hold meetings and guide us step by step. For the past three months of preparation, you have been with us—patiently answering our questions, encouraging us when things seemed difficult, and reminding us to give our best. That level of dedication and kindness will always be remembered and appreciated.

Sensei, you have not only taught us about the event but also about responsibility, teamwork, and perseverance. Truly, you embody the spirit of "gambatte" (がんばって – “do your best”), which you have passed on to us. We are deeply grateful for your patience and wisdom, for reminding us that challenges can be turned into opportunities, and for cheering us on every step of the way.

Otsukaresama desh*ta (お疲れ様でした – “thank you for your hard work”), Sensei. We hope we made you proud, because none of this would have been possible without your constant guidance and faith in us.

As we move forward, we will carry the lessons and inspiration you shared with us. Hontōni arigatō (本当にありがとう – “thank you very much”) for everything, Sensei.

Dōzo ogenki de (どうぞお元気で – “please stay well”), and may this message remind you how much your students truly appreciate you.

Thank you, Ma’am ML, for helping us in preparing and serving good food with excellence and passion. You did not only ensure that every dish was of great quality, but you also reminded us of the value of teamwork, discipline, and dedication. Behind every meal served and every detail perfected was your patient guidance and constant encouragement.

All throughout the preparation, you stood with us—teaching, mentoring, and inspiring us to do our best. You were there to make sure everything would go smoothly, and we felt your genuine care and commitment for the success of the event. Your encouragement has given us confidence, and your wisdom has helped us learn and grow not only as students but as future professionals in the field of Hospitality Management.

With all sincerity, Thank you so much, Prof. Gomez. This event would not have been possible without you. 💚
