+ Holy Cross Of Davao College Poem by Jordan Legaspi

HCDC –Ex Fide ad Veritatem

Heart of service –the mission anchored to Jesus and His spirituality
Over the years, faithfully, for growth and development for the whole society
Love as the key; so as too, the legacy of the founding fathers, the PME*
Yes, -that was and is and will always be, the commitment of charity

Christian ideals; to integrate unity in literacy
Rearing the young, to shape their giftedness and potentiality
Of, to be the catalysts of liberation from ignorance and poverty:
Seeking ways and means to decode the sign of times creatively
Searching venues and programs to address facets of need a many

Opt be the frontline of the journey towards holiness and heavenly
Father, Son, Spirit –the central of its Philosophy and Discipline as a community

Details of different stories to share: failure and success throughout her history
Accounts of many achievements: civic and religious; is very timely
Vows and promises together with the Church of Davao, and be
Among other agencies, the first to answer the call of the day
Oath of Faith to face the evil of corruption that has destroyed every family

Channel of knowledge; experience of ups and downs –the opportunity
Of seeing God in everything –the meaning of life and of death, a reality:
Loosing not the balance between head and heart unto God, glory be;
Loosing not the balance between he and she, in all aspects equality
Enthusiasm, thus, geared her to crush walls and build bridges openly
Going out to the whole world and be the living witness of its actuality
Ex Fide ad Veritatem –the concrete example of her advocacy
