The Mabalacat City College has formally received the Gawad Parangal Institutional Recognition from Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Chairperson Prospero De Vera during a fitting conferment ceremony held on January 22, 2021, Valencia Hall, Bulacan State University in Malolos City.

According to MCC President Dr. Michelle Aguilar-Ong, DPA, MCC is among the nine (9) out of the twelve (12) local universities and colleges (LUCs) in Central Luzon to receive the said recognition. She furthered that MCC has been promptly compliant both with the requirement of institutional recognition under commission en banc Resolution No. 632-2017 and certificate of program compliance for all program offerings as certified by CHED Regional Office III. As a recipient of the distinction, MCC received a plaque and a Certificate of Eligibility which qualified the educational institution to avail of the benefits stipulated under the provision of Republic Act 10931 or Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.

In his public address, Mabalacat City Mayor Garbo expressed his elation to this ‘milestone’ proving the college’s capacity to provide quality and affordable education to indigent but deserving Mabalaqueño youth.

“The CHED award added another feather on the cap of our beloved city. It is a testament to the hard work of the local government and the college administration which further cements MCC's brand as an institution geared towards sustained education management and quality of instruction,” said Mayor Garbo.

The MCC President also expressed her thanks to all the people and institutions who have worked hard to attain such a breakthrough not only for the college but for the whole city. “Received the Gawad Parangal award for MCC tonight. Our gratitude goes to CHED, the local government of Mabalacat especially to Mayor Crisostomo Garbo, and to my predecessor MCC President Dr. Carmelita Soto who worked hard for this,” Dr. Aguilar-Ong said in a Facebook post.

Dr. Aguilar-Ong presented the said distinction to Mabalacat City Mayor Crisostomo Garbo and City Administrator Atty. Emmanuel Ignacio during the flag-raising ceremony held on January 25, 2021, at the Mabalacat City Hall.
