Wow! Congratulations!

LPU Laguna Student Wins Gold with Distinction at International Culinary Competition — A First in History

After seven years, LPU Laguna once again made culinary history.

Jose Antonio Silos Tuvera, a BS International Culinary Management student from Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) Laguna, achieved a perfect score of 100 points and was awarded Gold with Distinction in an international cake display competition held in Malaysia — a first in the history of the Malaysian Chefs Association.

Tuvera was coached by Chef Jeriel Encarnado and co-coached by Chef Abram Peralta, with a dedicated team of alternates and understudies. This marks the Philippines’ second Gold with Distinction after Chef Alyzza Bundalian’s win in 2018, also from LPU Laguna.

Judged by world-renowned chefs including Chef Kenny Kong (Worldchefs Judge), Chef Erik Kim (World Chocolate Master), and Chef Vivian Pei, Tuvera’s cake display stood out not just for technical excellence, but for artistic distinction and innovation — setting a new benchmark for world standards in cake artistry.

The win reaffirms LPU Laguna’s commitment to uplifting the standards of the Philippine pastry and culinary arts on the global stage.

Congratulations! 🙌🏻🇵🇭

HILLARY ANDALES, A SURVIVOR AND INSPIRATION

From surviving tragedy to making history—Hillary Diane Andales, a Grade 12 student from Tacloban, Leyte, has risen above life’s toughest challenges to become the Grand Prize Winner of the Breakthrough Junior Challenge, a world-renowned science competition with over 11,000 entries from 178 countries.

Her story is not only about science but also about hope and resilience. A survivor of Super Typhoon Yolanda, Hillary proved that disasters and hardships are never barriers to dreams. In her own words:

“Bilang isang survivor ng Yolanda, natutunan kong hindi hadlang ang sakuna o hirap para mangarap at magsikap. Ang premyong ito ay hindi lang para sa akin, kundi para sa lahat ng kabataang Pilipino na naniniwala na kaya nilang baguhin ang mundo sa pamamagitan ng agham.”

For her groundbreaking achievement, Hillary received about ₱20 million worth of incentives, including a scholarship grant, a significant reward for her teacher, and vital assistance for her school.

But for Hillary, the recognition is more than just a prize—it’s a reminder and an inspiration for Filipino youth to continue chasing their dreams, no matter how difficult life may be. Her journey shows that with courage, passion, and the power of science, young Filipinos can truly change the world.

“Train yourself to stand on your own, so that even when no one is there for you, you’ll still be okay. Life doesn’t always guarantee someone to catch you when you fall. Not everyone you’re with today will stay. Some will leave, some will change, and sometimes, even the people you thought would always be there will disappear. That’s why it’s important to learn how to trust yourself. Build a kind of strength that doesn’t rely on others. Being independent isn’t a bad thing—it’s your foundation for facing whatever life throws at you. You don’t always need someone to talk to just to feel better. You don’t have to wait for someone’s hug to remind you that you can handle things. Be the one to show yourself your worth. Love yourself fully, so that no matter who leaves, you’ll remain whole. Because in the end, it’s you who’ll always have your back.”
