Faculty Professional Development

Representatives from Brent Baguio, Manila, and Subic proudly participated in the EARCOS Teachers’ Conference 2026 in Bangkok, Thailand. It is an annual regional gathering focused on professional learning, collaboration, and the sharing of best practices in international education.
