Yes, our metal has been tested for 10 years and we shined brighter after facing those testing and challenges. The bond of the pack is strong, the alpha helps the omega and the omega helps the alpha.”

Packaging Technology Partners Inc.. He donated 11.5 million pesos worth of packaging testing equipment from the United States to CPU. The college produced 19 pioneer graduates with 10 Cum Laudes. Now, it has hundreds of graduates working all over the country and abroad.
