ALUMNI TESTIMONIAL

CHRISTIAN ANGEL A. TUNGCAB

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management (Batch 2025) | Food and Beverage Attendant at LaVie Resort and Casino Manila/ New Coast Hotel Manila

" My time at Universidad de Manila truly shaped who I am today. Working hard to keep my Latin honors standing from my first year all the way to my fourth taught me deep dedication and focus. Serving as a student leader helped me learn how to listen, care for my peers, and guide others with an open heart. At the same time, working as a student assistant showed me how things run behind the scenes and taught me how to manage my time and stay grounded under pressure. UDM gave me more than just an education it gave me the confidence, work ethic, and heart to step into the real world ready to help and lead."
