As Sacred Heart School-Hijas de Jesus counts down to its historic 70th Founding Anniversary, a monumental step has been taken to immortalize its rich legacy. On June 17, 2026, school administrators, SHS-HDJ Foundation President, and creative partners gathered for the official signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the production of a commemorative documentary film.
This special documentary project aims to capture the seven-decade journey of the school from its providential beginnings rooted in the shared mission of the Hijas de Jesus Sisters and the Jesuit fathers, to its enduring impact as a pillar of Integral Christian Education for the Chinese community and the wider Cebuano society.
The MOU signing brought together key leaders of the Hijas-Hearter community, symbolizing a shared commitment to honoring the school's past while inspiring its future. Representing the school administration were Sr. Felisa M. Molina, F.I., Representative of the Congregation in the Apostolic Work; Sr. Thelma M. Barbarona, F.I., School Treasurer; and Mrs. Rosalie A. Idulsa, School Principal. Their presence underscored the project’s alignment with the school's core identity and spiritual mission.
The project is made possible through the generous stewardship of the SHS-HDJ Foundation serving as the primary benefactor, represented by its President, Mr. Edison Lin. Through the Foundation's unwavering support, this creative endeavor transitions from a vision into reality, ensuring that the stories of grace, dedication, and community are preserved for generations to come.
Bringing this narrative to life on screen is Mr. John Vincent Tejero, who participated in the signing as the head of the video production service provider.
The formal signing was witnessed by Mrs. Honelynn C. Alvarado, Learning Resources Center Coordinator, and Mrs. Genelyn Ocariza, English-High School Coordinator. Their involvement highlights the collaborative spirit of the faculty and staff in safeguarding the institutional memory and academic excellence of the school.
With the legalities sealed and the creative roadmap laid out, production for the 70th Anniversary documentary is officially underway. Hijas-Hearters can look forward to a cinematic tribute that celebrates a legacy that is truly 70 years in the making.
