Mandac Jr., celebrated its year-end party, “Palad-Palad 2024”, at the JHCSC Hostel, Pagadian City Extension Campus, on December 13, 2024. The event, themed “Gala Gratitude: A Year of Blessings,” welcomed a diverse crowd, including program chairs, faculty, staff, and students from various SBM programs such as BS in Hospitality Management (BSHM), BS in Tourism Management (BSTM), and BS in Entrepreneurship (BSEntrep).
