Today, the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management of the University of the Cordilleras proudly joins the entire nation in celebrating the 127th anniversary of Philippine Independence.

This day reminds us of the courage and unwavering spirit of the heroes who fought for the freedom we enjoy today. Their bravery continues to inspire generations of Filipinos to serve the country with integrity, compassion, and dedication. Independence is not only a gift from the past; it is a responsibility that calls us to honor our heritage and strengthen our love for the nation.

As future professionals in hospitality and tourism, CHTM students carry the meaningful role of sharing the beauty, warmth, and culture of the Philippines with the world. Every act of service, every story told, and every guest welcomed becomes an opportunity to represent the resilience and heart of the Filipino people.

Let us continue to celebrate our identity with pride and remain steadfast in our commitment to uplift our communities, protect our heritage, and embody the true essence of Filipino hospitality.

“Maging matatag sa pagmamahal sa bayan.”
Happy Independence Day, Philippines! May our nation continue to rise with unity, hope, and pride.
