JMCFI’s growth and trajectory are remarkable, with the institution steadily rising to the top of the academic rankings. Currently channeling its efforts into internationalization, JMCFI is extending its global linkages and networks. The progress of this esteemed institution has been unprecedented under the guidance of its Founding President, Rev. Dr. Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy. JMCFI’s achievements have now set it on a pedestal, matching or even surpassing some of the old, established schools not only in the Davao Region but also at the national level.
Indeed, JMCFI is making waves in the academic world, setting an example for many and paving the way for future excellence.
