Murata donates for the construction of Al Fresco Dining area

Dualtech promotes al fresco areas in the campus as part of the “new normal”. Simple steps and reminders aim to ensure everyone has access to a safe working environment. With this in mind, the school is grateful for Murata’s donation that will help in the construction of an Al Fresco Dining area beside the cafeteria. Murata is a Japanese manufacturer of electronic components with a sales branch and a large production site in the Philippines.

To formalize the turnover of the donation, Murata representatives met with school officials in Dualtech. The guests from the company were: Mr. Mitsuki Notsu, Director of General Administration; Mr. Randy Feliciano, HR Deputy General Manager; Ms. Kennete Hizon, HR Recruitment Supervisor; and Ms. Allanis Jerine Guinto, HR Staff.

During the event, Dualtech’s Manager for Linkages, Mr. Leonard Calma, gave an overview of the partnership with Murata which started in 2015. This was followed by a presentation of the Al Fresco Dining Project courtesy of Philip S. Valdecanas, Manager for Project and Services. Afterwards, a tour of the facilities of the school let the Murata guests see the various students working. In the mechanical works area, they viewed the drill press machine they donated. At the automation room, a group of students showcased their automation project and made a demonstration to the visitors.

While he was at the event, Murata’s Director of General Administration Mitsuki Notsu stated that this project is among the first under his directorship. Among the things they found notable about Dualtech was the character formation of the trainees. His company colleagues also suggested the possibility of developing a course program which will include software and programming. Murata has the “grand design” project which aims to put good Murata branding among its employees. Just recently, the company took Dualtech trainees as facility OJT technicians.

For his part, school President Mr. Arnolfo S. Morfe expanded on values as truly part of a life-long “brand”:  “Our Partnership is not to allow [students] to finish their courses but to give them the nudge so that they become successful in their lives. Even if they transfer work, they bring the Murata branding in their lives. So let’s have more Murata branded people in the world who make a difference.”
