Banilad Center for Professional Development (BCPD)

The Banilad Center for Professional Development (BCPD) is a concrete response to the call to cut poverty at its roots in Cebu, Philippines. Directed towards young women who are financially challenged to pursue higher education, BCPD has committed itself to forming young women professionals to create a niche for themselves in the hospitality service industry.

Creating opportunities for a brighter future through commitment to the highest standards of excellence at work and formation in human values, BCPD has risen to the challenge borne out of want of social improvement – to pursue its mission to form a new cohort of young women who will reinvent the different ways by which professionals respond to the needs of the service industry. 

"Poverty could be lifted not through short-term solutions but through a deep work of education.” - Bishop Alvaro del Portillo
