Holy Angel University

About Us

It is composed of officers duly elected by the student belonging to their particular
college. The CSC is separate and independent from the USC. College-based
organizations shall send one representative each to their respective CSC as honorary
members of the Council. This is to assert the supremacy of the CSC as the highest
student governing body in the college and to ensure unity and cooperation among all
student groups within the college.

Brief History

In 1995, University President Dr. Arlyn S. Villanueva, then Dean of the College of
Business and Accountancy, applied for a new program, Hotel and Restaurant
Management (HRM), as the University's response to what she correctly predicted as the
next big demand of the market. The Department opened in School Year 1996-1997 with
a modest enrollment of 187 students. The course was tentatively put under the charge
of the Department of Management and Economics, then chaired by Mr. Elmer A.
Palacio. In S.Y. 1998-1999, the newly opened Saint Therese of Lisieux (STL) Hall
housed the Department's kitchen laboratory (considered one of the largest in the
country) and hotel rooms, among other facilities. The following year, the HRM course
was separated from the Department of Management and Economics, with Ms. Rhodora
Austria serving as the first full-time chairperson of the HRM Department and Ms. Cecille
Romero as the Practicum Coordinator.
Thus, the College of Business and Accountancy then housed four departments, namely,
Department of Accountancy, Department of Business Management, Department of
Hospitality Management, and Department of Office Administration.
For S.Y. 2004-2005, Ms. Maria Rita Josefina V. Chua took over the position of
Chairperson. Ms. Chua, with Ms. Austria as Practicum Coordinator, supervised all
preparations for the Preliminary Visit of the Philippine Accrediting Association of
Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) - a milestone in the history of the
College.
In April, 2005, Ms. Gertrude P. Tuazon was assigned as the Department Chairperson. It
was during her watch that PAASCU conducted its Formal Survey of the Department.
In response to a need for a more culinary-inclined curriculum, the Department came up
with the Bachelor of Science in Business Administration major in Culinary Arts which

initially started with a population of 12 students in School Year 2006-2007. Ms. Tuazon
undertook curriculum enrichment by implementing the Executive Order 356, in which a
new ladderized curriculum contained embedded competency courses under the
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA).
On April 4, 2008, mainly through the efforts of University President Dr. Arlyn S.
Villanueva, the Hotel and Restaurant Management and Tourism programs were among
the Business programs in the College of Business and Accountancy and Graduate
School of Business that were granted International Accreditation by the International
Assembly for Collegiate Business Education (IACBE). Before her term of office ended,
Ms. Tuazon applied the program for Center of Development/Excellence status.
Her successor, Ms. Chrysanta S. Rodriguez served for only a year but her
accomplishments include the full implementation of the Ladderized Program, with
students taking the requisite institutional testing. Reapplication for the Center of
Development/Excellence status was also undertaken during her term. The Department
also became of the biggest departments in the University with a student population of
1,926 in S.Y. 2008-2009.
In June, 2009, the University President announced the formal separation of the College
of Hospitality Management from the College of Business and Accountancy under the
helm of the founding Dean, Gertrude P. Tuazon, with Mr. Tyron W. Yap as 1st, 2nd, and
3rd Year Coordinator and Ms. Heide H. Perez as 4th Year Coordinator (including
Practicum). At present, there are 2,287 students taking up Hotel and Restaurant
Management, Tourism Management and Culinary Arts Management, making it the
second biggest College in the University, next to its matrix, the College of Business and
Accountancy.
The College of Hospitality Management offers three (3) four-year courses, namely
Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management, Bachelor of Science in
Culinary Arts Management, and Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management. The
three (3) courses have embedded Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) competency skills such that students earn certificates while pursuing
their four- year courses.
The College has established a legacy of excellence and this shall continue even as it
formulates new mission and vision statements. On May 7, 2009, the College, operating
on international standards in instruction, research and community service, was named
the Center of Development in Hotel and Restaurant Management Program - the first
school in the Philippines granted the recognition.
