institutional passing rate over the national passing rate in previous years, this S.Y 2014, Sacoco made her school proud by emblazoning her institution’s appellation in the academic map of Teacher Education.

Hon. Joseph Sicco along with Atty. Leni Robredo and other guests in their regal attire pose with the newly-crowned Mrs. Hawaii Philippines, Mayrose Borromeo. Last February 03, 2015, Data Center College hosted the Presscon between the officers of Kalayaan International Philippines headed by Mr. Ben Pulido, President and Dr. Vicente Bonoan, VPAA representing the College who had a friendly talk. The said event was joined by the education students who interviewed the personalities of the Kalayaan regarding the objectives of the said organization and the rationale of their coming to their homeland. The Hawaiian group promised to give two laptops to the school and at the same time to give a substantial amount to finance scholarship program to the poor but deserving students of DCCP. The Kalayaan Night was also held last Feb. 05 2015 at the City Auditorium. Atty. Leni G. Robredo, the congresswoman of the 3rd District of Camarines Sur graced the said event as the Guest of Honor and Speaker. Hon. Joseph D. Sicco, President of DCCP introduced her. It was
also a night for the coronation of Mrs. Hawaii Philippines, Mrs. Mayrose Ancheta Borromeo. She was teary-eyed as she recalled and tasted the salubrious atmosphere of her native Burgos town and the love and the affection of friends, relatives and associates for their presence after so many years of
absence. To give a fiesta atmosphere, a raffle draw under the leadership of the new Head of Students’ Affairs, Mr. Mark Danilo Dumlao was conducted and the prizes were given by the generous balikbayans. The affair was a success because it was a cooperative endeavor of four institutions: the DCCP, INNHS, DepEd and the Laoag City local government. The Kalayaan Night is observed every Pamulinawen Fiesta of Laoag City to strengthen the socio-cultural relations of Laoag City and Hawaii because Ilocano Migrants have been working as early as the 1920’s in the sugar cane plantation of Hawaii, in the vineyards of California and in the Salmon factories of Alaska. - Mark Jones Galera
