In response to the needs of partner communities, the University of Santo Tomas College of Tourism and Hospitality Management Student Council (CTHMSC) conducted an entrepreneurial workshop in the Jubilee Shelter Program at Lumangbayan, Plaridel, Bulacan last February 15, 2025.
The event titled, “KITA: Kaalaman at Ideya Tungo sa Pag-Asenso,” aimed to equip individuals with foundational knowledge and practical skills in entrepreneurship. The workshop focused on identifying and understanding basic entrepreneurial concepts and terminologies essential for starting a business.
Members of the local community learned how to make high demand household products such as dishwashing liquid, liquid hand soap, and perfumes through the guidance of Bubblemix Marketing Owner and College of Commerce and Business Administration Alumna Ms. Mary Rose S. Rivera.
Through the workshop, participants gained knowledge of pricing, costing, marketing, and selling their products. The event also provided a platform for creating and presenting unique business ideas that are both accessible and convenient, fostering innovation and economic growth within the community.
Student organizers from the CTHMSC were deeply enthused with the community development project. CTHMSC officer Michaela Cecilia D. Destacamento shared her appreciation to the community for providing the opportunity to directly learn with the university’s partners. According to her, the experience “ignited a stronger passion… to implement and engage more in community development projects.”
