The Holy Cross of Davao College extends its heartfelt gratitude to the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines – Davao (ECCP) for its generous donation of valuable learning resources to the institution’s Center for Learning Resource (CLR).

During the turnover ceremony, HCDC received two hardcover copies of Biofuels from Philippine Plants, a comprehensive guide to the nation’s biofuel potential, and one copy of the 2025 edition of ECCP’s Doing Business in the Philippines Guidebook, an essential reference for understanding the country’s business landscape.

ECCP Davao Branch Officer Ms. Rie Realingo officially handed the books to Ms. Mirafe F. Beldad, RL, MLIS, Head of the Center for Learning Resource, together with Mr. Rome Momo, Vice President for Operations on Friday, December 5, 2025.

HCDC also expresses appreciation to Mr. Tony Peralta, Chairman of the ECCP Southern Mindanao Business Council (SMBC) and Honorary Consul of Finland for Mindanao, whose support made this donation possible.

This meaningful turnover underscores the shared commitment of ECCP and HCDC to expanding access to high-quality, relevant learning resources, supporting initiatives aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals).
