HCDC Honors Founders, Past Presidents, and Partners at PASALAMAT 2026

For seventy-five years, Holy Cross of Davao College (HCDC) has grown through changing times, guided by a mission entrusted from one generation to another.

At the foundation of this journey were men and women who planted the seeds of what HCDC would become. From those beginnings came generations of leaders, each called to steward the institution through a particular moment in its history.

Along the way, Holy Cross also found companions in its mission: institutions, organizations, communities, and individuals who shared their trust, support, and partnership.

To our founders, RVM Sisters, PME Fathers, and Archdiocese of Davao, thank you for planting, nurturing, and carrying the mission forward.

To our Past Presidents, Mr. Emilio P. Palma Gil, Dr. Maria Iris A. Melliza, and Msgr. Julius C. Rodulfa, thank you for leading HCDC to what it is today. Your legacies will continue to live on.

To our partners, thank you very much for believing in our mission and for journeying with us through these years.

Daghang Salamat! (HCDC)
