In the ever-evolving landscape of the digital age and modern-day education, collaboration and networking among schools is valued as a transformative paradigm shift in addressing the needs and demands of the educational millieu. Mindful of the relevance of improving quality education, Manresa School and Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) formalized their collaboration through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on July 16, 2025. This significant partnership is set to bring substantial benefits to Manresa, as the school will gain valuable consultancy services from TUP, focusing on upskilling teachers and maintenance, and improving the quality of research and technology subjects.

Leading the TUP delegation were Dr. Hasmin Ignacio, Vice President; Dr. Francisco Esponilla II, Director of University Extension Services; Prof. Janilyn Siy, CIT Extension Coordinator; Dr. Connie Aunario, Project Leader and Vice President for Planning, Development, and Special Concerns and Eng. Rommel Aunario, CIT professor. 

Manresa was represented by Sr. Normida Marquez, F.I., RCA; Sr. Gemma K. Doguiles, F.I., JHS Principal; Ms. Yolanda N. Cruz, Grade School Principal; Mr. Jojit E. Ledesma, Assistant Principal JHS; and Mrs. Iby M. Paquibot, Assistant Principal Grade School.

After the MOA and MOU signing, the THE, TLE and Computer teachers ushered the TUP administrators for a quick campus tour.  The school administration acknowledges the initative of Mr. Justine Kenneth Magtibay and the collaborative efforts of the subject areas.

May this collaboration leads to school improvment particularly in enhancing learning opportunities and improving outcomes for students through shared expertise and best practices.
