Sponsors' Testimony

After witnessing the graduation of its second batch of scholars, SM Foundation has given scholarship to another set of 50 scholars from Aurora, Cebu, Bohol, Bukidnon, and Davao del Norte.

During the get-together with the 3rd batch of scholars and some graduates, Ms. Carmel Linda Atayde, Executive Director of SM Foundation listened to the stories of scholars from many provinces who are mostly from Mindanao. These youth who have nearly forgotten to dream but upon learning the opportunities at Dualtech Center and the assistance given by SM Foundation were inspired to hold on to their aspirations and strive to be better individuals for their families in the provinces.

LASER Technology: Tool of the Future. This was the theme of the seminar held at Dualtech Center which was participated by Dualtech learning facilitators.  The learning session was sponsored by the Rotary Club of Calamba that chose to highlight the technical/vocational program as  deemed necessary in building the 21st century skills of learners.

Opportunity knocks in many ways, shapes, and forms. Opportunity also knocks at different times.
