Dear Director Taha:
Greetings of peace from the Cotabato Foundation College of Science and Technology!
The Cotabato Foundation College of Science and Technology (CFCST) formerly known as
the Children’s Education Village (CEFV) is located at Doroluman, Arakan, North Cotabato
and was established under Republic Act No. 3801 on June 22, 1963. It was amended
through Batas Pambansa Bilang 408 on June 10, 1983 with the Custodial Care Program
(CCP) as its core program that caters the educational needs of disadvantaged children and
youths of adversity of Arakan Valley Complex and other neighboring municipalities and
provinces of Mindanao as envisioned by the late Founder Bai Hadja Fatima Matabay Plang.
The CCP started its operation with less than 50 indigent students from elementary to College
with very laudable increase to more than 500 up to School Year, 2019-2020 despite its
limited budget and that the program is located in the hinterland of Arakan Valley Complex.
The program is being sustained through endowment like foods, clothing, school supplies,
materials and some equipment from other agency both private and public entities of the
country. Being the new President of the Foundation College, I wish to level up our services
specifically to provide care, custody, correction, education and vocational training as well
as physical, moral and spiritual uplift of orphans, homeless, neglected and indigent children
from broken homes, children of poverty-stricken families due to sickness, natural or man-
made calamities and other misfortunes. We are doing this so that we could serve as a
laboratory and training center for child welfare development studies and offer opportunities
for basic to higher education for the above – mentioned disadvantaged children in
Mindanao. However, with the current limited budget allotted for us by the Government, it is
very difficult on our part to provide utmost services to our Government Wards.
In this connection, we would like to link with you for possible assistance, in any form, for us
to improve our services for the Government Wards. Rest assured that your positive action on
this matter will surely give hope and eventually help in the realization of the dreams and
aspirations of the disadvantaged youths of Mindanao. Attached herewith are the pictures
of the Government Wards (Children) and facilities (already need renovation) of the CFCST
Custodial Care Program.
Thank you very much and more power!
