Dr. Jalotjot, who has retired, now serves as Vice-President of HoHFKCI. The HBEP provides special educational services to children with cancer through an Alternative Delivery Mode (ADM) in partnership with the Southern Philippines Medical Center (SPMC). The educational program is now being managed by the House of Hope (HoH) Foundation for Kids with Cancer Inc. (HoHFKCI), in partnership with the Department of Education (DepEd) Davao City Division, through Dumanlas Elementary School, and SPMC. USeP, through CEd, remains to be one of its active partners in the endeavor to serve children with cancer and their families.
