We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to many people.

First and foremost, let us begin by thanking our God for guiding us on this path and for

bestowing upon us the gifts of faith, hope, knowledge, understanding, counsel, fortitude,

and wisdom which helped us make right decisions.

We thank you for giving us hope when we were low, Mr. Elmer Taripe; you have a

way of reviving our optimism. You've made it possible for us to finish our baccalaureate

degree. You were clearly one of a kind, as finding someone who would do what you did

for us was quite rare. You have ingrained in us the act of dedication and care for our

classmates by your example, and we have promised to do the same wherever our paths

may lead us.

Thank you, Mrs. Gina Jordan M.AED, for inspiring us to work harder. We admired

and aspired to be like you in terms of leadership and collegiality. Your teaching

strategies, which featured clarity, organization, enthusiasm, humor, task-orientedness,

and much more, as well as your meticulous attention to detail, have left an everlasting

mark on our future professions. Thank you for your candid counsel and commitment to

your students' success.

We can't thank you enough, Mrs. Cecille Paulino M.Ed, for all of your time and

effort you put in for us when we required help with our research. We were grateful for

your attention and abilities to put us at ease. We've learned a lot more than simply

academics from you. Her unfailing care and love to your students were reflected in her
voracious grin. We are eager to emulate and put these ideas into reality in our own

lives.

Thank you so much, Dr. Christian Lloyd Rend DBA, for everything you've done

for us. We can't put into words how much of a difference you've made in our educational

journey. You gave us a glimpse into what it was like to be a successful graduating

student. Your research and conference guidance, support, and encouragement made a

substantial contribution to our academic success. Over the course of our careers, we

must strive to emulate your dedication to study and publication.

We also want to express our gratitude to all of the De La Salle John Bosco

College's helpful instructors, staff, and fellow graduating students, particularly in the

Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management, for their support and

encouragement during this program.

Let us not squander this opportunity to shower our loved ones with praise and

admiration. We owe our mothers and fathers a debt of gratitude for always being there

for us when we needed assistance and for enabling us to make our own choices. We

will be eternally grateful to everyone who has assisted us in our schooling.

Our family members who have assisted us with our studies, particularly the Apa,

Acman, and Salas families, who have helped us with our education, particularly in terms

of funds. To our friends and classmates who never failed to cheer us up when we were

feeling down or frustrated. You instilled in us the desire to succeed.
