This milestone marks a stronger commitment to making quality, accessible, and transformative education available to underserved families in Southern Luzon.
A Night of Music, Celebration, and Commitment
The official launch of PHINMA St. Jude College Dasmariñas took place during “Sasamahan Kita: A Community Night,” which gathered students, faculty, alumni, and education partners on October 11, 2025 at the SJCDC Quadrangle. Cavite’s pride Comic Strip, Narcolepsy, Helena, and Outside Dish performed alongside Adie, one of today’s most popular OPM artists. The event was also made possible through the support of partners from Globe, Bioderm, Dr. S. Wong’s Sulfur Soap, Efficascent Oil, Gong Cha Philippines, and Technokids Philippines.
The night marked the official launch of PHINMA Education in Cavite and highlighted its enduring mission, embodied in the message “Sasamahan Kita”, the commitment to walk with every student on their journey to success.
A Proven System Meets a Strong Legacy
Acquired by PHINMA Education in December 2024, St. Jude College Dasmariñas, Cavite has long been known for producing topnotchers and board passers in Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Psychology, and Education. Through its “bare bones, no frills, brass knuckles” approach, PHINMA Education builds on this legacy by empowering students to become skilled professionals and responsible citizens — many proudly leading the way as the first in their families to earn a college degree.
The event also featured the unveiling of the new SJCDC logo and campus masterplan, which highlights major campus upgrades — from modernized classrooms and improved laboratories to new learning spaces and larger facilities designed to accommodate more students. These enhancements reinforce PHINMA Education’s mission to create environments where students can thrive academically and personally.
“This launch is a reflection of our enduring commitment to student success,” said Joan Mangune-Lavadia, Chief Operating Officer of PHINMA St. Jude College Dasmariñas. “When students choose PHINMA Education, they don’t just study to finish a course — they study to change their lives. And we are with them every step of the way. That is the kind of education we are proud to bring to Cavite and to the communities we serve.”
With the addition of SJCDC, PHINMA Education continues to expand its reach, joining a strong network of schools in Nueva Ecija, Pangasinan, Laguna, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, and Indonesia — solidifying its place as the largest higher education institution in Southeast Asia and a trusted partner in transforming lives through education.
