BarCIE International Center was conceptualized
by its President-Emeritus, Sr. Carmeli
Marie Catan, OSA, through the collaborative
effort of the Vice President. It started
in the year, 1998 in the month of
January. Because of the increasing
number of BSHRM (Bachelor of Science
in Hotel and Restaurant Management)
and BST (Bachelor of Science in Tourism)
students enrolling in the said program,
the idea came out of building such,
the International Center. The main
purpose of the establishment is to
be the center for practicum and training
of the said students.
The construction of the International
Center started in the year 1998 by
Architech Thomas Morallo, and partially
finished by September 1999 and was
blessed, July 15, 2000 . It was named
BarCIE International Center . The
Center of Bulacan hospitality opened
its door in July, 2000 in a place
where we could fittingly call as the
place and center of excellence. A
place and a center of excellence because
students would be more and more inclined
and very much particular with the
new trends and ways of what a center/hotel
is. Instead of going to Manila to
look for a place where, their knowledge
would be enhance in the field of hospitality
industry, BarCIE International Center
would be there for their practical
learning.
In name it is called BarCIE International
Center but in design, however, it
is uniquely Filipino. The International
Center is a product which boasts of
an architectural styles, touched with
the exotic influence of Filipino Hotel
structures based in Metro Manila.
Owned and operated by the University
of Regina Carmeli through its Barasoain
Center for Innovative Education (BarCIE),
BarCIE International Center is the
latest investment of the University
in human resource development. The
facility is envisioned to complement
the development of the province for
