BRIEF HISTORY OF WORLD CITI COLLEGES

The World Citi Colleges Educational System consists of five (5) campuses – WCC QC, WCC Antipolo, WCC Guimba Nueva Ecija, WCC Aeronautical Technological College in North Manila and Binalonan, Pangasinan.

Of the five (5) campuses, WCC Quezon City is hailed as the mother campus. It used to be known as Quezon City Medical Center and Colleges, Inc. (QCMCC); and before that, as Medical Center of Quezon City (MCQC) as evidenced by its Certificate of Incorporation issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 15, 1971. Subsequent to MCQC’s incorporation, a permit to operate a 100- bed capacity hospital was issued by the Bureau of Medical Service of the Department of Health.

In June 1979, its Articles of Incorporation were amended changing its corporate name to Quezon City Medical Center and Colleges, Inc. (QCMCC). Consequently, it established its first college – the College of Nursing. 

WORLD CITI COLLEGES EDUCATION SYSTEM

World Citi Colleges is an emerging educational system with sister institutions and campuses. These include WCC Aeronautical Technological College in North Manila (formerly Holy Trinity School), WCC in Antipolo (formerly Westminster College), and World Citi Colleges in Guimba Nueva Ecija (formerly E.R. Dizon College)

Holy Trinity School is a long-established institution in basic education aspiring to venture into tertiary education. It was founded by Mrs. Virginia Datiles Vda. de Lizardo in 1969. The school was “orphaned” when President Datiles died in 1995. The Board of Directors turned over the management and ownership of the school to the Guico family in 1997 and since then, it has grown by leaps and bounds.

Westminster College of the Philippines was established on June 17, 2000. The institution offered baccalaureate degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, Elementary and Secondary Education, Criminology, and Nursing. Under the supervision of the WCC Education system, the college aims to develop young people who will become the country’s leaders in the future.

In December 2009, WCC Education System acquired a new campus in Guimba, Nueva Ecija. E.R. Dizon College was initially known as Corregidor Colleges and offers a full range of basic education, tertiary education, and graduate school. With the acquisition, WCC aims to widen its reach by spreading its mission in the central part of Luzon.

WCC Aeronautical Technological College in Binalonan, Pangasinan offers an interesting program for Aviation-related careers like Aeronautical Engineering, Commercial Flying, Aviation Management, and Aircraft Technology. It is the training grounds of the soon-to-be aviators not only in our country but in the whole world. The WCC ATC in Binalonan, Pangasinan also offers a wide range of Aviation Programs, Tourism Management with the Flight Attendant Program.

The history of World Citi Colleges is a continuing saga of transitions that validate its stability and trajectories that prove its aggressive and innovative spirit. Rooted in its calling “to serve and to care”, it continues its purpose-driven pursuit of excellence. 

PHILOSOPHY AND CREDO

World Citi Colleges is an institution founded on the uncompromising belief that God is the Lord of History and therefore nothing happens in human life without Divine providence and intervention.

WCC stands with conviction that its educational vision and mission constitute a high calling and ministry. Bound by its dedication to educational excellence, it is mandated to lead in holistic and professional education that is Christian in foundation, nationalist in perspective, outcomes-based and research-driven in curriculum, scientific in emphasis, global in scope, and culturally diverse in orientation.

Therefore, we envision WCC graduates to be truly Christ-centered in commitment and character, proven for their professional competence and Filipino identity and consciousness.

As World Citizens, WCC alumni exceed standard expectations in their fields of specialization. With superior academic training and intellectual prowess, they rise above the throng in their passion for achievement, always excelling in performance and leadership.

Imbued in their WCC culture are the profound concern for ecological and socio-economic justice, human life, and dignity. Thus, World Citizens respect all people as persons of sacred worth and because of this, they cross boundaries to remove all prejudices on the basis of creed, class, race, or gender. This lifestyle and philosophy are rooted in the WCC Christian vocation embodied in its college hymn: ”Called upon to serve and to care”.
