Was at TRTC for the graduation of my husband, and I fell in love with the view upon arrival. The scenery is really jaw-dropping. I thought that Tagaytay only offers Taal as its main view attraction, I got myself wrong. The place reminds me of some views and landscapes in Baguio especially at night. The staff are very friendly and the food is superb! I am definitely recommending it to my future guests.<br />
<br />
SY of Metro Manila who also reviewed TRTC on TripAdvisor said:<br />
<br />
I have been here several times for church retreats. I enjoy the place -- it has ample space, individual huts for small groups, views to adore, and quiet surroundings for concentration, for workshops, and team building. Rooms are clean and air conditioned. Never mind no frills -- the simple setting allows you to empty your mind of concerns.

Evenings at the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center are always lovely, but they are even lovelier this time of the year because of the scent of camia blossoms that perfume the air.<br />
<br />
Camia flowers are white with a pale yellow center and they usually start releasing their fragrance in the evenings. Enjoy them and their soft fragrance at TRTC. <br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Keith B. of Chicago, Illinois said, “I attended a student
conference and had a very good time despite a typhoon coming through. The staff
kept the place well and fed us wonderful meals. They certainly know how to get
people through the buffet line. We didn't get to use the entire facilities, but
we were safe, enjoying fresh air, and enjoying air conditioning in the large
main hall across from the dining facility.” TripAdvisor is a widely-used and
recognized travel website.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Since it opened in May 2011, the Tagaytay Retreat and
Training Center has been noted for its warm hospitality and its staff who serve
above and beyond their regular duties. The retreat center has served guests of
all ages attending all types of events (including school retreats, youth camps, corporate conferences, marriage seminars, and even weddings) and from several
nations (including Australia, Bangladesh, Burundi, Cameroon, India, Kenya, Malawi,
Moldova, the Netherlands, New Zealand,
Peru, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Uganda, the
United Kingdom, the US, and Zambia.) </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It can accommodate a total of 484 guests in five dormitories
(with a total of 80 rooms) and in four easy-access rooms. Meals are served
buffet style in a dining hall across from the center’s main assembly hall which
can seat 1,000. Recreational facilities
include a game room, basketball and volleyball courts, a mini soccer field, a
children’s play area, and an obstacle course that features a tire run, balance
beams, horizontal bars, and low ropes. It is just a few minutes away from the
Picnic Grove, People’s Park in the Sky, and the ridge overlooking Taal Lake and
Taal Volcano. </div>

Looking for a way to liven up your conference at Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center? Need an idea for some plain and simple outdoor fun while at the retreat center? Then make an obstacle course race part of your stay!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Youngsters and adults alike will love the challenge of TRTC’s new obstacle course consisting of a tire run, balance beams, horizontal bars, and low ropes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
The course is also perfect for simple team-building exercises or friendly competition during couples’ retreats, family reunions, and similar gatherings. It can even be used to teach a spiritual lesson or emphasize a biblical principle.<br />
<br />
Be sure to consider making an obstacle course race part of your program when you come to TRTC!<br />

In a review posted in September, williamsld83 of Lubbock, Texas wrote:<br /><br />"I arrived at the CCT Retreat & Training Center for the Global Young People's Convocation and Legislative Assembly (GYPC-LA) event on July 16, 2014. We arrived during Typhoon Glenda. We did not get to stay in our rooms or finish our event at this facility, because it was damaged so badly during the storm." <br /><br />"The staff made sure we were safe, had food and water, and were as comfortable as could be expected considering the storm raging around us. They took care of us instead of taking care of their own families and repairing their homes. The hospitality we received at this retreat center was beyond anything I have ever experienced. If the staff members are this good during a typhoon, I can only imagine what fantastic service they would provide during a normal stay.I would highly recommend this location and hope they can repair all the damage quickly." <br /><br />About 400 international guests attending the GYPC-LA event had to be gathered in the retreat center's main function hall when Typhoon Glenda began battering Tagaytay city during the early morning hours of July 16. They waited out the storm praying, singing and worshipping the Lord and were moved to a resort in Kawit, Cavite later that day. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Glenda ripped roofs off of dormitory buildings and broke glass wall paneling in the dining hall, requiring the retreat center's temporary closure. It re-opened on August 15, a month after the storm hit.</span><br />

The kitchen crew of the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center are now holders of the government's national certificate 2 (NC2). They recently attended cookery classes in a joint project of the Center for Community Transformation Group of Ministries (CCT) and Bayan Academy sponsored by JP Morgan. All 10 attendees passed competency assessment given by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority and were awarded the highly-coveted certificates soon afterward. </div>

Some 350 real estate people attending an all-day team-building activity and 120 men on a two-day retreat were the first guests to use the newly renovated Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center when it re-opened on August 15. <br />
<br />
The retreat center had to be closed for a month after suffering extensive damage due to Typhoon Glenda in mid-July. Included in the work done was the repair of caved-in ceilings, and the replacement of shattered glass panelings and blown-off roofs.<br />
<br />
"We are overwhelmed by God's blessings and happy to be accepting small groups of guests again," said Doris Cuaresma, general manager. "This is actually just a soft opening because two of the towers (each with ten bedrooms) are not yet fully repaired. We hope to be completely operational by October 1." <br />
<br />
"It looks as if no damage was ever done," said one recent guest.<br />
<br />
Opened in May 2011, the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center has been an ideal, welcoming venue for youth convocations, couples' retreats, missionary and Bible translators' conferences, and similar activities. <br />
<br />
It is owned and managed by the Center for Community Transformation Group of Ministries which ministers to the poor. Many of the buildings were built by former street dwellers undergoing spiritual and social transformation.<br />

The Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center is reopening on August 15, exactly a month after it closed due to extensive damage caused by Typhoon Glenda. "Seventy percent of the repair work is done, we are building back better, and we are counting down to our reopening day," said Doris Cuaresma, general manager, five days before the target reopening.<br />
<br />
Typhoon Glenda ripped off roofing sheets, made ceilings cave in, and drenched bedrooms on the top floors of the retreat center's dormitory buildings when it hit Southern Luzon during the early hours of July 16. It also shattered glass paneling and damaged tables and chairs at the dining hall. Nearly 400 international guests attending a Methodist youth convocation waited out the storm at the main function hall and had to be moved to another event venue. <br />
<br />
The extent of the damage was assessed the same day and clean-up and restoration work were begun soon afterward. "We praise God for all that has been done and for all that will be completed within the next few days. We are grateful to all who helped with the rebuilding and clean-up. We look forward to welcoming guests again," Cuaresma said. <br />

Repair and clean-up work has begun at the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center which is temporarily closed after suffering damage due to Typhoon Glenda (international name Rammasun).<br />
<br />
Glenda battered Southern Luzon where Tagaytay City is situated during the early hours of July 16, damaging the roofs and ceilings of the retreat center's dormitory buildings, shattering windows and glass doors, and toppling trees. <br />
<br />
CCT President Ruth Callanta said, "Through all this we rely on God's grace and heed his command in I Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 that we are to 'Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will in Christ Jesus'."<br />
<br />
"We will build back better, making TRTC a more comfortable and welcoming venue for a wide range of functions and activities."Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931274249514493948.post-36716665693790217112014-06-24T18:57:00.002+08:002014-07-02T17:54:02.374+08:00Fair Trade Products Now Sold at TRTC<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Fair trade products are now sold at the Pasalubong Center of

Fair trade, according to
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary is a movement whose goal is to
help producers in developing countries get a fair price for their products so
as to reduce poverty, provide for the ethical treatment of workers and farmers,
and promote environmentally sustainable practices. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alter Trade Corporation was established in 1988 in response
to the worsening situation of Negros sugar workers caught in an island-wide
crisis caused by plummeting world sugar prices in the early 1980s. After
a series of feeding and relief operations to thousands of displaced families,
women and children, progressive Japanese consumers and development
organizations in the Philippines hatched the concept of ‘trade not aid’ as a sustainable
intervention for the crisis victims. In 1988 the first shipment of Mascobado
sugar arrived in Japan and Balangon
bananas began to be shipped to that country a year later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Today, Alter Trade continues to combine business and social
development, and its organic farming and fair trade practices are compliant
with international standards.<br />
<br />
Anjji Gabriel, CCT Inc. executive director, said CCT is pleased to have a partnership with an organization that also serves the Filipino poor.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Since the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center opened its gates to the public in May 2011 it has been a venue of gracious hospitality for ladies' conventions, pastors' conferences, youth camps, singles' retreats, sales planning meetings, reunions, couples' retreats, weddings... even group weddings! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's what some satisfied guests have said about it:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Janice Galvez Zonio, who attended the Church of God regional convention late last year, described Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center as a "Very peaceful and conducive place for spiritual retreats" and uploaded a jubilant photo of herself on the lawn in front of the multi-purpose hall (above) as her Facebook cover photo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sheryl Ann Donato (below) who was at the retreat center after Christmas 2013 attending the New Southern Luzon District Youth Leadership Training Seminar of the United Pentecostal Church enjoyed lots of peaceful and relaxing moments there. </span><br />

I joined a three-day training at the Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center in
July 2013. Totally enjoyed the experience! This place is a great place for
learning activities. The training rooms were nice and spacious. The individual
rooms were quiet and relaxing. I liked the view of the sunset from the dining
area. Food was great too! I would like to stay at this place again. I would
definitely recommend this place for other seminars too. The lessons may be
serious inside the session rooms but the beautiful nature just outside helps to
relax my mind. </span></div>

Twenty-nine couples said "I do" in the second group wedding held at the Tagaytay Retreat and Training since it opened in May 2011. <br />
<br />
Rina Villanueva, one of the happy brides, said, "The staff were so attentive. They made us feel special." Her groom, Reden, said, "We thought it would be a simple wedding. It turned out to be rather fancy!"<br />
<br />
The brides and grooms are mostly workers at factories where the Covenant Community Service Cooperative (CCSC) ministers.<br />
<br />
In the first group wedding held at TRTC, 21 former street-dwelling couples were married in a ceremony jointly organized by CCSC and the Kaibigan Ministry of the Center for Community Transformation (CCT) Group of Ministries.

<br />
CCSC, also a member of the CCT group, reaches out to informal service workers and factory workers through job generation, spiritual development, social services, micro finance loans, and savings mobilization. <br />

The Tagaytay Retreat and Training Center has several grass-roofed bamboo huts that may be used as additional space for activities such as small group devotions, prayer, sharing, or discussions or camp staff meetings. The huts are illuminated by solar lamps at night.<br />

It is an answer to prayer of CCT board and management for a place of its own where the Center for Community Transformation Group of Ministries could hold retreats, workshops, and conferences of community partners, staff, and board alike. It is borne also of a need for a venue where street dwellers being ministered to would not be rejected for fear that they would vandalize the facilities or that their smell would stick to the furnishings. </span></b><br />

More than 70 former street dwellers were spiritually transformed as they helped build this place. Once, these men roamed Manila's streets destitute and hopeless. About half of them were involved in vice or crime. Today, they know the Lord, their children attend school, they support their families with an honest living, and they know that the future beckons bright.
