What Jose Maria College Foundation does

Jose Maria College Foundation, Inc. (JMCFI) is a private, nonprofit educational institution founded in 2000 by Rev. Dr. Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy and headquartered at the Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound in Sasa, Davao City, Philippines. The institution delivers a vertically integrated education portfolio spanning Integrated Basic Education (K-12, IBED), nine undergraduate colleges (Agriculture, Allied Health Sciences, Arts and Sciences, Business, Criminal Justice, Engineering, Information Technology, Nursing, and Teacher Education), a College of Medicine, a College of Law, and TESDA-accredited technical-vocational programs — totaling 31+ degree offerings. JMCFI is regulated by CHED, TESDA, and DepEd, and positions itself on the proprietary ACQ (Assured, Consistent, Quality) education philosophy, with 80% of students receiving scholarships and a reported 98% post-graduation employment rate.

The institution's technology stack is anchored on three third-party platforms: MyJMC, a self-developed student information system supporting online enrollment, billing, grading, and schedule access; U Learning Asia, a learning management system enabling blended and personalized learning; and ODILO, a digital library for audiobooks, video, and music content. Payments are processed via Security Bank QR Pay, Maya QR, and online channels, reducing enrollment friction. AI adoption is nascent and limited to internal faculty training on AI-assisted course outline writing, with no student-facing AI products disclosed.

JMCFI's revenue model is predominantly tuition and fee-based, with supplemental document request fees (Transcript of Records, Transfer Credentials, Diploma) and research ethics review fees (PHP 3,000-4,000). GTM is direct-to-consumer via on-campus enrollment supplemented by online channels, targeted at prospective students in the Davao region and broader Mindanao. The institution employs 51-100 staff and reports strong brand metrics (4.4/5 Google rating, 77 reviews) but provides no publicly disclosed revenue figures.
