BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES was stablished in june 2002 sacred heart village,caloocan city by the generous and charitable Madame Mary M. Vicente, President, and Engineer Reynaldo Corpuz, Administrator.
The schoool was initially named "LOG-ON TODAY,"but the management later on decided to changed it, as it literally sounded like an Internet cafe. Inspired by the phrase,"Be trained to be the best; be linked to success,"BESTLINK came out to be more appropriate. Since Bestlink offers computer-based courses, it was eventually decided to name the school BESTLINK COLLEGE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
With its mission and vision of providing holistic training, Bestlink started with four computer TESDA-accredited courses. These are Computer System Design and Programming, Computerized Office Management, Computer Technology and Networking, and Computer Graphics and Web Development.
Bestlink started its operations with seven students: five from computerized Office Management and two from Computer System Design and Programming
its first location did not appeal positively to public patronage, so the school did not attain the expected number of students Bestlink had only four faculty members: Eng. Reynaldo Corpuz, Math Instructor and Administrator, Mr. Vincent Carlo Garados, Computer Instructor and I.T. Coordinator; Respicio Siringan, English instructor; and Ms. Marimel Loya, office management instructor, cashier and student affairs and marketing coordinator.
In 2004, Bestlink, with is new administration headed by Engr. Diosdado T. Lleno, school director, decided to move to its new location at 1044 Brgy. Sta Monica Quirino Highway, Novaliches, Quezon City. This strategic location led to a huge increase in the number of the students.
In 2005, through the persistent efforts of Eng. Lleno, and Mr. Charlie Cari�o as the academic consultant, Bestlink offered an additional course, Hotel and Restaurant Services (HRS). The course incorporates seven modules: Commercial Cooking, Food and beverages Service, House keeping, Bartending, Baking and Pastry, Tour Guiding, and Front Office Services.
In 2007, with the continues increase of students, Bestlink temporarily held its classes at Annex 1 fronting the Main Building. The following year, the school acquired three lots adjacent to Greenfield�s I Subdivision. On the first lot, the original structure was remodeled into a mock hotel to suit the needs of the school as well as serve as training facility for HRS students. A five-storey building was constructed on the third lot with its vision of providing quality education .
A new structure was added on the vacant space to serve as cooking lab-training room of HRS students. The HRS laboratory and other facilities were transferred to the newly built mock hotel which was inaugurated in August 2008.
Due to its continuing expansion, Bestlink started to offer the CHED ladderized program (4-year degree course); BSIT, BSHRM, BSOA, and BSBA major in Marketing and Human Resources Management. The permit to Operate(PTO)for the first two courses was granted by CHED on 2009 and the last two courses on 2010. It can be proudly stated that these courses are now in their full swing for the school year 2010-2011.
