The agency that facilitated the hiring and admission
interview noted that Hercor College is one of the schools in the
Philippines to have the greater
number of accepted and
qualified apprentices. On that note, the school which is on its 3rd
year sufficed the necessary requirements to produce such globally –
competent and skillfully efficient Restaurateurs, Tourism Managers and
Hoteliers.
The Department Head of the Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management
Department added: “Much to our expectation and surprise, we are pleased
and proud to have our 12 promising students bound for Singapore,
however, it is not only a feather on our cap but a sincere challenge to

CAPTESA Computer Skills
Competition 2006
A FEATHER ON THE CAP !
Hercor College makes history as 3 computer
programming students won all the gold medals in the recent CAPTESA –TESDA
(Capiz Technical Schools Association-Technical Skills Development
Authority) Computer Skills Competition.
The said competition was participated by 11
member-schools offering computer and technical education in the
province. The event was held at Filamer Christian College Computer Lab.
The skills competition comprised the 5 competency areas, namely, Speed
Typing/Data Encoding, Electronic Spreadsheet (MS Excel), Web Page
Design, Word Processing (MS Word) and Slide Show Presentation (MS
Powerpoint). Jesusa Zabala (2nd from left) topped the Data
Encoding and Electronic Spreadsheet while Joebel Dolor (center)
ranked first in the Word Processing/Slide Show Presentation area. The
most exigent and challenging area is the Web Page Design, in which
Don Edward Bernales (2nd from right) won first place.
The stiff competition in the said
competency areas raised the tension and pressure of both the
participants and the spectators. And after a grueling test of skill, wit
and knowledge, Hercor College stood firm and victorious as the coaches
and the participant emerge from the COMLAB arena.
Ms. Netaly H. Dasig, Head of the
Computer Science Department says that "What we have done here is an
ardent proof that our computer education is not only relevant to today’s
labor and employment needs but also effective in all its facets”.
“We would not have done this without the
coaches and the full support of our administration, especially to Mr.
Hernandez our school president.” Ms. Dasig added. (Roxas City, Capiz, Philippines January 27, 2006)
