𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲: 𝗔 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲

Last April 30, 2026, at Barangay Talaba 3, Bacoor, Cavite, the initiative “𝗞𝗮𝘆𝗼 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗵𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗱 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻: 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁, 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲” by the SDCA - Student Wellness Unit, and the SDCA Central College Student Council, in collaboration with the Community Extension Services Office (CESO), became more than just an outreach program it became a shared journey of compassion, service, and community. Through this effort, our jeepney drivers were given not only support but also recognition for the vital role they play in our everyday lives.

This initiative was made possible through the dedication and generosity of volunteers and donors from the HED organizations, Circle of Dominican Achievers, Dominican Dance Company, Dominican Youth Ministry, Red Concepts, and Laboratorium Duces, Agapayan: Dominican Peer Facilitators alongside the BED organizations including the Supreme Student Council, Dominican Computer Society, Dominican Society for Advancement in Modern Sciences, Dominican Vanguard, and Entablado. The School of Lifelong Learning and Technical Skills also extended their expertise through an informative TESDA discussion, with Mr. Benigno S. Refran Jr. sharing valuable knowledge and opportunities with our jeepney drivers.

The institution likewise extends its sincere appreciation to the Heads and Faculty, and to the School of Medicine, ICT Department, Building Administration Office, Purchasing Management Office, Health and Services Office, and Corporate Communications and Marketing Office, as well as the entire SDCA community, for their unwavering support. Through collective effort and bayanihan, this initiative stands as a meaningful reminder that we can uplift lives and help carry those who have long carried us.
