The launch was more than a formality; it marked a united effort among schools, families, and local government to promote a culture of responsible citizenship and strong moral values. Davao City Mayor Sebastian “Baste” Duterte was represented by Atty. Antoinette G. Principe, who emphasized the community's role in the initiative.
Support also came from the Department of Education (DepEd) Davao Region, with Regional Director Maria Ines C. Asuncion, CESO III, represented by Chief Dodong Atillo. Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Reynante A. Solitario, CESO V, played a crucial role in the initiative's development.
HCCD's School President, Mr. Pol Allan D. Leuterio, along with board members, faculty, staff, and students, expressed their commitment to the program. The presence of representatives from the Davao Association of Private Schools and School Administrators (DAPRISSA) and the Davao Association of Catholic Schools (DACS) further highlighted the community's support.
In a broader context, this initiative addresses a historical concern in Philippine education regarding character development. As schools increasingly focus on academic performance, integrating ethical and civic education into curricula has become vital.
Through the Dabawenyo D.C.Plinado Modules, HCCD aims to cultivate a generation of Dabawenyos who exemplify responsible citizenship and strong moral values, contributing positively to society.
