The Association of Schools of the Augustinian Sisters (ASAS) Hospitality and Tourism Management National Convention 2025 marked a significant milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the PTC Talent Acquisition Group (TAG) and La Consolacion College Tanauan. Held on February 7, 2025, the convention brought together students from La Consolacion College campuses across the country, including Manila, Caloocan, Tanauan, Daet, and Bacolod.

With the theme "Synergetic Collaboration: Unifying La Consolacion Colleges and University Hospitality and Tourism Management for Global and Multicultural Education," the event showcased the power of partnership and shared learning.

Two esteemed PTC professionals, Benjie Bautista, PTC-TAG Manager, and Hector Manuel Jon Brizuela, PTC-TAG Pipeline Engagement Program Manager, shared invaluable insights with the students. Benjie focused on Collaborative Leadership, emphasizing the importance of fostering trust, empowering teams, and cultivating a shared vision. She highlighted how dynamic team engagement is essential for building strong, successful organizations—an especially relevant message for students collaborating across multiple campuses.
