TODAY is a NEW DAY for PCCR.
The focus on academic excellence has started with the creation of the College of Criminal Justice. Our vision is to offer more allied courses related to Criminology, like the Bachelors in Forensic Science and the Bachelors in Industrial Security Management.
We will not be limited to the Criminology discipline only. We will branch out and offer other fields of study. Expect more courses in the coming years.

Indeed, change is on its way with Innovation and Transformation as the main drivers of the new PCCR.
The Digital Transformation of the new PCCR is another innovation spearheaded by the Executive Committee. Dubbed as Project New Day, the digital transformation of PCCR is a project that is expected to bring efficiencies in service delivery to students and employees.
New enrollment and financial application systems are expected to be in place before the start of the new school year. This system will allow for fast, accurate, and efficient enrollment and payment transactions, anytime, anywhere from any device.
Content digitization and a new Learning Management System will be in place this coming semester. These projects will improve instructional delivery and create an exciting learning environment for students and teachers. Engaged and participative learning will be its major learning goal.
The Digital Educators Training is seen as an important step in ensuring the faculty are prepared for this learning transformation. Faculty training starts this May and will be conducted by learning experts.
An HR Information System is also part of Project New Day. A highly interactive and intelligent system that will allow for efficient employee transactions from payroll, leave management, and other HR-related activities.
The ERP system will run the financial side of Project New Day. This part ensures that we can stay on top of our financial activities and allows us to make critical financial decisions with accurate and relevant information.
Aside from the Project New Day, all Organizational Heads are also preparing their plans to improve the effectiveness of student and employee services, improve board performance, be a center of excellence in criminology, improve our graduates’ employability and create a vibrant and thriving alumni community.
Expect new college courses and new SHS Tracks and Strands starting the school year 2022-2023 as PCCR expands its products and services.
The excitement, the energy, and the passion are all around us as we prepare for the new PCCR.
Let us all work together and move forward with a new PCCR.

Executive Vice President
Organizational Chart
Core Values
Leadership
Motivating people to accomplish a common goal is not enough to be a great leader. We strive to be transformational leaders who must be inspiring and encouraging while leading by example.
Excellence
There is a fine line between achieving good and achieving greatness. Excellence is declaring that mediocrity is not satisfying enough and that being the best in everything is always the goal, no matter what it takes.
Accountability
Taking ownership for one’s actions and decisions is never easy but is a courageous act of taking responsibility despite what the consequences may be.
Discipline
Is simply doing what you normally do not want or like to do but you do it anyway to the best of your abilities because it is called for.
Empathy
The ability to emotionally understand what other people feel, see things from their point of view, and imagine yourself in their place. Not being quick to judge but to think first of the other person and what they are going through.
Showing honor and care about another’s thoughts and feelings. It is the acceptance and understanding of another person’s views and decisions and co-existing peacefully with those differences despite disagreements.
Service
Recognizing that others may have needs and making oneself available to service those needs even when it is not expected or expressed. The service is given free will and nothing is expected in return.
Openness to correction, acceptance, and an unboastful countenance as we relate with others around us. It is a self awareness that others may know more than us and we can learn from them.
Comes from the root word “integer” which means one. Integrity means you are one and the same person in any situation and will make the same decisions even when no one else sees you. It is honesty and moral uprightness at any time and in any situation.
Unwavering desire to achieve a purpose or objective and not giving up until the goal is achieved finding creative and out of the box solutions to reaching the finish line.
