Don Bosco Boys Home Inc. – Liloan, Cebu has successfully achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification, a globally recognized standard for quality management systems. This milestone highlights the center’s commitment to delivering quality services through effective processes, continuous improvement, and strong organizational management.
