Acting Cebu City Vice Mayor Donaldo “Dondon” Hontiveros expressed his gratitude to CITE during the Cebu City College Scholarship Program Sportsfest Awarding Ceremony held today, September 28, 2024, at the Cebu City Sports Center. The event was attended by 122 scholars from CITE, along with other recipients of the Cebu City College Scholarship.
In a 13-second video message, Hontiveros praised CITE for its role in shaping top achievers. “Sa atong mga professor, instructor sa CITE, salamat kaayo! Nakaproduce na pud mo pud mo ug number 1. Of course, niagi sa UC pero again nag-start ninyo. So again, salamat and God bless.” he said.
Hontiveros was referring to John Philip Minancillo, who topped the August 2024 Mechanical Engineers Licensure Examination. Minancillo completed his Senior High School TVL track at CITE in 2019 before earning his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Cebu.
