PANABO CITY – Davao del Norte State College’s Bachelor of Science in Food Technology (BSFT) program organized TINGUHA 2024 on November 15, 2024, at the DNSC Audio-Visual Room (AVR).

Cantoja, one of the FTLE and CTLE passers, delivered an inspirational message to the graduating and OJT students, “Let’s fill our empty jars with four essential ingredients: perseverance, focus, trust, and support. Each day, you’ll add new flavors – unique experiences, hard-won lessons, and maybe even a sprinkle of mistakes. Embrace challenges, one day, the jar will have a label that says Professional Food Technologist.”
