Ungui (left, fifth person), together with other CTU DB officials, met with Mayor Sun Shimura (middle) on Thursday, November 18, 2021.
The officials talked about offering Agriculture and Tourism courses at CTU Daanbantayan that aims to provide a brand new area of specialization that will aid the new college students.
It also helps students innovate in how they work in their plan and for the neighbouring cities to get entry to their ardour in the farming of domesticated species created food resources that enabled humans to preserve their needs.
As the Municipality of Daanbantayan has a large agricultural land, this proposal is best for waiting.
As a tourist destination, Daanbantayan stages the Haladaya Festival every year as an added attraction to local vacationers, holidaymakers, Filipino expatriates, and foreign tourists from as far away as North America, South America, and Europe. The Tourism course will serve us the drooling source of income in the CTU DB Campus as it will attract more students, visitors, tourists and stakeholders to do business.
