The Sisters of Mary School celebrated a topping-off ceremony for its Digital Transformation Center in Silang, Cavite, on Sunday, March 23, 2025. This event marks the completion of the building’s structural framework.
The construction of the facility, named the Felicidad Sy Hall-Digital Transformation Center, is a collaboration between the Felicidad T. Sy Foundation Inc. (FTSFI), Fr. Al’s Children Foundation, Inc. (FACFI), and the Sisters of Mary School.
The center will facilitate Technical-Vocational Education and Training (TVET) initiatives, incorporating digital resources, software training labs, and workstations. Its goal is to provide training that aligns with industry requirements, equipping students for careers in digital and technology-oriented sectors.
The institution expects the center to expand job opportunities for students, increase self-reliance, and support economic growth by producing skilled graduates for the workforce or entrepreneurial ventures. The Digital Transformation Center is part of the school’s efforts to improve education and training opportunities for students entering the job market.
“As we look up at this nearly completed structure, let us also look forward—to the many dreams that will be realized, the potential that will be unlocked, and the futures that will be built within these walls. This center is a testament to our collective belief in the power of education and the impact of investing in people’s futures,” FTSFI executive director Imelda Elido said during the ceremony.
The symbolic topping of ceremony was attended by FTSFI executive director Imelda Elido, SM Foundation education programs executive director Linda Atayde, and Ms. Virginia Yap.
