It’s not about the size of the school, but the quality of education it provides. As an alumnus, I can confidently say that choosing Olivarez College-Tagaytay was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The school offered invaluable exposure to real-life scenarios relevant to our industry, along with excellent facilities and outstanding professors. This comprehensive education has enabled me to reach new heights in the hospitality field.

Olivarez College Tagaytay was my home & training ground for four years. The school made such a great impact of who and what I am today. I’ve always been grateful to the institution, as well as to my THRM Department (THM), for bringing out the best in me. It is my honor & privilege to be held as your Ms. Olivarez College Tagaytay 2016, your Dancers Guild president from 2016-2018 and the THRMSC President from 2018-2019. These opportunities changed my life & my perspective as a person which inspires me to always do my best in my career. Without the guidance & support of our college dean, department head and faculties, I will not be able to achieved the things I have today. I will always be a proud Olivarian!
