I have had the pleasure of co-editing the Handbook of Research on Instructional Technologies in Health Education and Allied Disciplines with Manuel Garcia, and I can confidently say that his contributions to the project were invaluable. Manuel's expertise in educational technology made him the ideal partner for this project. He brought a wealth of knowledge and insight to the table, and his passion for improving education through the use of instructional technologies was evident in every aspect of his work.

Our group capstone project was mentored by Professor Manuel Garcia. We wanted him to mentor us because he became our Professor first in a different subject and I remember clearly how he can thoroughly teach each lessons / modules he'd prepared for us and his passion for teaching is something that you'd love to see as a student because that's what students would want - a Professor who's confident on what he teaches and who would understand each and every students. All of his teachings were easy to understand and at that time our group decided to pick him as our mentor and it was the best decision we ever made because not only he would guide our group together through our capstone project but he'd listen to each member of the group and give suggestions and recommendations enough for us to get through each chapters of our project because he want us to see progressing and to get better. We were able to finish our capstone project under his supervision and we got awards too as Best Aesthetics and Best Gameplay for our video game entitled Beast Chasers. Professor Manuel is easy to talk to and direct to the point whenever we we're having issues. He really loves teaching and imparting knowledge to his students and I couldn't thank him enough for helping us out during tough times of our project. Thank you Sir! I hope you'd be able to give and inspire more students!

Dr. Garcia was my professor and mentor for our capstone project at FEU Institute of Technology. As his former student, I appreciated his prowess as an educator. He made abstract concepts easily digestible for his students. As our mentor, his critical feedback made it easier for documenting our research and his suggestions gave us clear insights that made our research journey stress-free.
He was approachable and never intimidating. He did his best to be relatable, and gave us valuable, and professional life advice during our time as students. He was a valuable role model for his students, and I can guarantee that they will learn more than what is taught in class.

Mr. Garcia has been one of my professors at FEU Institute of Technology. He is knowledgeable in his field of teaching. While some professors are hard to approach, Mr. Garcia has been close to his students in a way that we can always approach him and ask for consultation about Projects, Lectures, etc. He also tries to get the attention of his students by putting something relatable and funny in his presentations.
