College President, Dr. Rene M. Colocar, together with District II Rep. Stella Quimbo, Atty. Miro Quimbo, and former Marikina City Mayor and also the Father of MPC, Del De Guzman, and Student Trustee Veronica Mycel C. Bano, led the blessing and inauguration of the MPC Activity Center, 8th Floor Administration Bldg. last December 16, 2024, a few hours after the Thanksgiving Mass. Rev. Father Edgar Ponce officiated the Blessing Ceremony. Rep. Stella Quimbo led the ceremonial toss, signaling the formal opening of MPC’s very own world-class basketball court for use by the MPC community. Dr. Chris Dionell Batoon hosted the event.
In the brief inaugural ceremony, Dr. Rene M. Colocar thanked Rep. Stella Quimbo for making the MPC gymnasium a reality, adding that MPC students now have a place where “students can excel not only in academics but in sports as well.”
Rep. Stella Quimbo congratulated the MPC community especially the students for the new gymnasium and encouraged the students to also take active part in sports as it helps further develop their discipline, physical strength, social skills, and determination.
In response, Student Trustee Veronica Mycel C. Bano expressed gratitude to the MPC administration and to Rep. Stella Quimbo for giving the students a new gymnasium where they can play and practice basketball without being exposed to the elements.
Atty. Miro Quimbo also happily congratulated the MPC Community, noting how far the college has come from what it used to be 10 years ago and promised to continue supporting the developments of the College so it can effectively do its mandate of giving quality higher education. Also present in the event were VP Ronald Allan S. Mabunga, VP Joemel V. Bautista, and Board Secretary Renylyn M. Udaundo. Dr. Chris Dionell Batoon hosted the ceremony.
