We extend our gratitude and congratulations to our partners, the Department of Science and Technology, and Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP), that together with our academe, continue to collaborate in order to bring the inclusive and transformative power of education even beyond the guarded confines of BJMP- San Jose.

This partnership continues to break barriers, bringing not only hope but also second chances for the Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs).
