The project was made possible through the collaboration of three colleges, College of Arts and Sciences, College of Teacher Education, and College of Administration, Business, Hospitality, and Accountancy.

The primary proponents of the proposal were Dr. Doracie B. Zoleta-Nantes, Dr. Melanie S. Cadao, Prof. Irene Irna Lomibao, and Mr. Wilfredo Barrera, Jr., among others.
