    GFI History

    It all started with a dream.


    With its humble origin, GFI stories that are yet to be revealed. Somewhere in the
    year 1988, three financially challenged graduates approached Dr. Dominador S.Dizon,
    CPA to help them in their CPA Licensure Review. Seeing the good nature of purpose,
    Dr. Dizon put up an institution named Gensantos Research and Training Center
    (GRTC).
    Indeed, the seed was planted and began to grow.
    Dr. Dizon’s work as a consultant of Asia Development Bank gave him the idea
    about countryside’s concern. He together with other founders registered Gensantos
    Foundation Inc. College on June 1991.
    Slowly but surely, GFI expanded its role in the community. On July 30, 1994, the
    Commission on Higher Education granted permit to the foundation to start curricula
    operation starting school year 1994-1995.
    From 1994 till 2006, the college became more fruitful. From 55 to 6,105 students,
    from 10 to 110 teachers ; from 512 to 10,833 square meters, from 7 to 50 classrooms,
    and from 3 to 6 courses.
    In 2015, GFI produced 44 Certified Public Accountants. In the same year, it had
    110 Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) passers, making the GFI the biggest
    molder of educators in Region 12.
    Today, GFI has sister schools: Cronasia Foundation College (CFC) , Korbel
    Foundation College (KFC), General Santos Academy (GSA)and Primasia Foundation
    College (PFC). GFI truly started small, expanded by litt2le and will continue to prove its
    worth. As it continues paddling its canoe and touching lives of the community, its name
    and mission would be upheld by future leaders.
