Koronadal Makes a Great Showing at the 2015 HRM Skills Competition

The Annual HRM Skills Competition – sponsored by Petron Gasul – was a showcase of the talent and creativity of Goldenstate College’s HRM students at the KCC Convention Center on February 23 and 24.  Over those two days, students from both the General Santos and Koronadal campuses rolled, molded, folded, and arranged with great precision and finesse, proving their potential to be successful in the hotel and restaurant industries.  After a keynote speech by TESDA Director Mr. Richard Amparo, teams of students competed in a series of events – including table skirting, cake decorating, fruit and vegetable carving, and the ever-popular extreme flair-tending – presided over by a panel of culinary experts and in front of an audience of the Manilay family, fellow students, and visitors from Goldenstate’s partner high schools.

In the end, both entries from Koronadal – the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Red Berry Hibiscus – won Overall Champion and First Runner-Up, respectively.  Headed by Mr. Ferdinand G. Alcantara, MAEd, the teams from Koronadal were champions in 2011 and 2012.  Congratulations to the Koronadal delegation!
