As part of its commitment to service and inter-institutional partnership, Criminology students from Holy Child Central Colleges, Inc. (HCCCI) rendered ceremonial support during the Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Pinning Ceremony held on January 22, 2026, at New Hope School of Agriculture and Fishery, Inc. The ceremony took place at The Backyard by Mamay’s Payag, Cannery Road, Valencia Site, Polomolok, South Cotabato.

The participation of HCCCI Criminology students was extended in support of the host institution, serving as members of the ceremonial colors and contributing to the solemnity and dignity of the occasion. Their involvement demonstrated professionalism, discipline, and respect for academic milestones celebrated by partner institutions.

The honor guard was led by Cesar Azuelo, who served as Color Commander, ensuring proper formation and protocol. Assisting him were Jhona Paula Eribal and John Lloyd Savares as Riflemen. Mark Fajardo carried the Philippine Flag, symbolizing patriotism and national pride, while Justine Guevarra served as Flag Bearer, completing the ceremonial team.

By rendering formal honors during the pinning ceremony, the HCCCI Criminology students helped elevate the recognition of BS Agriculture students as they marked a significant transition into a more intensive and practice-oriented phase of their academic and professional journey—one that prepares them for roles in sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.

This collaborative engagement reflects the shared commitment of both institutions to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), emphasizing the value of cooperation, discipline, and community-oriented service in higher education.

The ceremonial colors were supervised by Kaye P. Escober, RCrim, whose guidance ensured the proper execution of all protocols. Through initiatives such as this, Holy Child Central Colleges, Inc. continues to strengthen institutional partnerships while providing students with meaningful opportunities to serve, lead, and engage with the wider academic community.
