Signing the Memorandum of Agreement were: Dave Junker, General Manager of Shangri-La Mactan, and Fr. Francisco Antonio T. Estepa, SVD, Ph.D. President of the University of San Carlos. The witnesses to the signing included Lotlot Dagat (Financial Controller of MacSHRI), Fr.

This collaboration underscores the transformative power of partnerships between academe and industry, advancing sustainable development and promoting education with a mission from the classroom to the broader community.
