Treston International College: Bazaar For A Cause

Last December 14-15, Treston International College held a bazaar inside the college campus for the benefit of typhoon Yolanda survivors. This two-day event highlighted the culinary school's aim to raise funds and showcase not only the student's culinary talents but their entrepreneurial spirit as well.

The campus was packed with shoppers especially as it is just the beginning of the Holiday Season. And not only that, the items found in the bazaar are also worth the trip.
