1st Commencement Exercises of the Quick Service Restaurant Operations Course

Anihan honored  the first batch of the QSRO Class 2019 on June 7.

The one year skill bridging program was made possible by the collaboration of private corporations, nonprofit organizations, and local government units. Having many people to celebrate, this ceremony is more than special to everyone. The graduation day of the twenty-seven QSRO students was also the 33rd Anniversary of Anihan Technical School.

The guest Alumna, Mrs. Mary May Mabalot-Macote, remembered her experience in Anihan twelve years ago. Her life as an Anihan student was memorable and challenging. She mentioned the knowledge, skills, values, and virtues she gained from Anihan. As she stated, " As a person, ito ang pinakaimportanteng natutunan ko sa Anihan: passion in everything I do; being grateful in everything I have; and being humble in everything that I've become. Tinulungan nila akong maging mas malapit sa Diyos- sa pagpapatatag ng aking relationship with God. Habang buhay kong tatanawing utang na loob ito sa inyo."

Lastly, she left an inspiring and challenging message for the graduates: "Be a role model lalo na sa mga kabataang babae tulad ninyo. Spread positivity, dedication, and motivation in your workplace so that they will be always looking forward in working with you. Have sense of urgency, initiative, and empathy to others. Don't be discouraged if someone criticize you, instead, take criticism as a challenge to improve. Embrace it and learn from it. You should try even harder to be responsible at work and never stop learning. Strengthen your relationship with God by constantly praying. Be a living proof that Anihan is not just our ordinary school. It is our home. It is our family."

Congratulations!
