“These experiences made us true scholars. Experiences that taught us to be patient, to stand on our own, to be more responsible in making decisions, and to be closer to God. These two years made us tougher in life not only mentally but also spiritually...” -- Mark Anthony R. Lopez, Gold Merit Awardee | Trained at Franke Foodservice System Philippines, Inc.; Employed at Sasonbi, Inc.
I may not be able to become a doctor and civil engineer, but one thing is for sure, Dualtech helped me realize what my true dream is. As for my fellow alumni, I just hope your dreams take you: to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities and to the most special places your heart has ever known. Because we should all be proud “Tatak Dualtech”.

Edukasyon ang tanging sandata upang malabanan natin ang kahirapan, mga habilin ng isang ina na puno ng pagmamahal at pangarap sa kanyang anak. Ito ang naging baon ko sa pagpasok sa DUALTECH. Malaki ang kaibahan ng Dualtech sa paaralan na pinasukan ko noong highschool, sa Dualtech itinuturo kung paano naisasabuhay ang magagandang katangian o “virtues” at tinutulungan ang mga mag-aaral na magpasya ng angkop na solusyon sa mga suliranin sa buhay man o sa hanap-buhay. -- MARK L.

The first virtue I learned in this school is patience. I increased my perseverance to do something not easy but definitely relevant as part of training. My curiosity increased my enthusiasm in learning academic and technical knowledge. I thank my mentors, learning facilitators, and the management for teaching us values while learning skills both at the same time. The ultimate learning this school can provide is the WORD of GOD. Faith in GOD first, before anything in this world. --- Mr. ALDRIN VILLANUEVA GOMEZ, Class Valedictorian | Awardee, Gold Merit, Outstanding In-School and In-plant Training Performance, and Learning Excellence | Trained and Employed at First Philec
Dualtech made me believe in “working hard in silence, letting your success be your noise” -- Antonio Dy | A55, Batch 1998 | Information Technology Manager, NAESS Shipping Philippines, Inc. | IT Consultant
It was an unfortunate life in the beginning. I never learned what it meant to be a kid. My mother and sister both worked as laundrywomen, and it was not enough. It also became my routine to study in the morning and to work on the remaining hours. I helped my mother to sell eggs, banana-que, peanuts, and vegetables for our daily needs. It was my desire to have a better life.
The road to success is sometimes bumpy and rugged. Trials and twists of things happen unexpectedly. We only need to believe in ourselves. You and I are called for to be the agents of change. The next coming years may be filled with excitement, new adventures and even failures. But always remember that this failure should be a source of learning and are a precursor of success. The world after this institution here in Dualtech is filled with infinite possibilities and opportunities awaiting us. Make use of what we learned here in Dualtech and during our in plant training and expand our horizon through experience. -- LAFLORES, JAYSON B. | Silver Merit and Outstanding In-Plant Training Performance Awardee, Trained at Nestle Philippines, Inc. | Employed at Magnate Food and Drinks
