Manila Times College Executive Vice President Orlando B. Molina, in his opening remarks, emphasized the emergence of new innovations as the college relocates to its new facility. While bringing with it the best of its old practices and traditions, TMTCS will be continuously raising the bar of excellence in education, he said. Present at the ceremony were invited guests, school faculty, parents, students, including GDHS alumni, as well as industry partners. Some GDHS alumni -- Nenita Miyata (Class of 1973), Dario Villa (1977) and Karen Fontillas (1989) -- shared their individual memories of their former high school and expressed gratitude for the restoration being done on their old school and its integration with the Manila Times College.
