A vision! A big and happy MC Alumni family communicating easily with each other as they reminisce our school days and think of how we can help our alumni and alma mater.

1. Who are we?

This is the view of the Calvario/Poblacion area of Meycauayan from Google Earth.



The quadrangle with the red roof at lower right is the Meycauayan College fronting McArthur Highway. Towards the left (west) of the picture is the Meycauayan River and on the upper left is the bridge leading to the palengke. The nearby structure with the silvery roof is the Catholic Church and the patio, and the building with the L-shaped roof southeast of it is the old municipio (now a public school). Those who are from Calvario may recognize some of the houses and landmarks in the area like the Calvario elementary school and the Conching Hermoso tannery.

What is Meycauayan Institute or Meycauayan College? From its humble beginning, Meycauayan Institute started as a high school institution on June 1925 with the aim of giving the young people of Meycauayan and the neighboring town a chance for high school education. Instructions then were held in an old residential house in the heart of the town. There were around a hundred students then with only about four or five teachers. As it graduated the first thirteen students in 1929, a six room building was constructed in its present site. Then a ten-room building was added. Then a 24-room building. In mid-70’s, the first college course was offered by the school. Meycauayan Institute was renamed Meycauayan College. More rooms were added. MC extension was also constructed in another site to accommodate the increasing number of students. Currently, the school provides different levels of education (Pre-elementary up to Tertiary).

What Are Overall Objectives?

The happiness of seeing again our classmates for years is priceless. We take joy, too, in realizing the great role that MC/MI had built to us by instilling the educational foundation we need to become successful in life. To many of us, knowing where our classmates are and hence again would give us the opportunity to connect to reminisce our school days is a good thing to aim for.

As a group of concerned MC graduates, we set a mission of bringing together MC alumni closer together. We have the following overall objectives:

1. To encourage the alumni to socialize with the members of his/her class and with other batches;

2. To help the emerging MC Alumni Association achieved its goals by establishing a network of MC graduates wherever they are in different parts of the world; and

3. To establish the presence of the community of MC graduates in the internet world.

How Could We Attain Our Overall Objectives?

We have set specific objectives to enable us to achieve our targets. In a span of one-year, at least, we hope to do the following:

1. Creating an interim “Committee in Bringing MC Alumni Together”;

2. Capitalizing on the power of the Internet by creating a website to serve as a center for coordinating activities of the committee (and the association later on);

3. Establishing a network of MC classes’ one-page website where they can consolidate information/messages about the class;

4. Using other conventional search media (such as personal visits, phone network, texting, and researches) in locating the leaderships and members of different MC classes; and finally

5. Establishing and maintaining an MC alumni database for wider reach and faster communication among alumni and sub-chapters’ association.

As the number of participating alumni progressively increases, we are now ready to offer the alumni network as a simple but meaningful gift to the MC Alumni Association. This well-oiled machine, hopefully, will help invigorate the association thus achieved its mission of working for the general welfare of the School and the alumni.

We encourage every alumnus to spread the words about the good things happening to the alumni community. The success of the above dreams will depend greatly on the willingness and full cooperation of the alumni, MC administrators, teachers, and friends. Use your class websites and pages to post messages and pictures.

Come on all! Have fun. Chat with your classmates and friends. Bond together. Remember your crushes, friends, teachers, and funny stories/anecdotes. Share it with your classmates and other alumni. Let us feel as a family.

Conclusion:

It is high time for us to socialize with our classmates and other classes that passed the portals of our alma mater. We reminisce. We remember. Laugh. Sometimes, we cry as we honor those members who died. All of this we can do only do if we reconnect. So sign-up so you can be a part of the group.

Finally, we pray to God to give us the power and patience so we may achieve our goals!
