With my former student, UP Fighting Maroon (1991-1996) Ian R. Sanchez from Butuan City. Not many people know that Butuan has given UP, not just a new university president (newly installed UP President Jijil Jimenez). The city has also given UP some of its prized athletes—Ian, Jun Manzo, and JD Cagulangan, to name a few. In addition, Ian belonged to my Communication 1 and 2 (Asian Institute of Tourism, 1991-1992) freshie block that included UP Fighting Maroons Poch Juinio & Marvin Panganiban, UP Football Team alumnus & Hospitality Entrepreneurs & Professionals coach Pat Favoreal, seasoned hoteliers Lynette Quinto-Ermac (Megaworld Hotels-Richmonde, Savoy, Belmont), Em Mauhay Rosales (Park Inn by Radisson, Marco Polo), & Carol Valdez (Seda Centrio, Seda Abreeza Davao) and Chef Jac Juarez Laudico. #universityofthephilippines #unibersidadngpilipinas #upmbt #upfightingmaroons (at University of the Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/Co-sXxXhPcI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
