We are inspired by the powerful ending speech of Sir Jojo M. Villamin, Founder of JTHMAP, who shared that the organization was built from a mission to break the stereotype that Tourism and Hospitality students are “ganda lang.”
From a story rooted in bullying and doubt, he turned his experience into purpose proving that STHM students embody not only beauty, but also skills, knowledge, professionalism, and excellence. His vision continues to uplift the image of the Tourism and Hospitality community nationwide. 
Following his message, Sir Joshua Ramil D. Katigbak formally concluded the event with heartfelt words reminding everyone that everything is possible. He left the delegates with a meaningful assignment: to hug their families, and to remain grateful and thankful… because the things we sometimes complain about are the very prayers of others.
